I can understand that. They do look great. No chance for me doing that though....
It is funny how you don't see many larger late Wars- perhaps the number of larger humans available for aircrew were also starting to be in short supply by the end...
Look forward to seeing the shots. I haven't seen one of theirs in the flesh but I have had one of the zippers to repair an original, which was disappointing but to be expected- had plastic parts at the ends and I ended up sending it back. If they could get a good repro lightning made that would be a huge improvement.
