Your Sabre looks as real as the one I saw last week at the USAF Museum in Dayton, Ohio,a museum I thoroughly enjoyed. Also visited the Air Zoo in Michigan, and the Glenn Curtiss Museum in N.Y., both filled with great aviation exhibits.

It is with great sadness that I inform the site of the passing of David "Poppy" Couch, May 20 at his home in DeSoto, TX. Poppy was my mentor, a truly outstanding model builder, and a really nice person and great friend. RIP

Such a sad piece of news:-( Poppy will remembered for things other than his contributions to the VA, but we will always be able to visit him bere. Fair Skies and Following Seas.

Lately, everything I build flies, but I'm tempted to do a static just to see if I can do a museum quality build like Poppy and Dave D. Ouch! I posted this before I read half way down the list of replies. Sorry to hear of his passing.

I would like to extend my deepest condolences to David's wife and his family. Poppy was one of my inspirations on VA and he will be deeply missed but never forgotten.

My condolences to Poppy's family and friends. He was one of the first to inspire and challenge me when I found this site. My Comet F4U was a gift from Poppy. Vaya con Dios Poppy.
