Here's a little "easy" mind bender to test your "in the face" spotting skills. I've assembled a collection of 25 miniatures; your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to identify the aircraft as shown up close and personal. Should you need additional pics later of any of these craft, you're out of luck. What you see my friends is what you get. Perhaps a trip to Dr. Theis Freud's office may help though. Good luck to all, and I'll keep an eye on your progress.....Clipper

You're right Ivan, it's not a true livery, though I didn't post it to throw anyone off. It was an oversight. I'll give up that one then, it's a DC-10.......still looking for a bunch more!!
