Sure! ;)

Maybe some explanations for what concerns the base: a loooong time ago I was collecting stamps and I was informed that, for the 70th anniversary of the 2ème escadrille, Belgian Air Force prepared a special flight ("Mission 1690") during wich some philatelic souvenirs were embarked aboard the BA-23. I bought one of those document...
When I stopped to collect stamps, I kept that document anyway; and when PJ Production released the injected Mirage V I had the idea to build the BA-23 and to present it on the document that I plastified and placed on a wood base.

Here is the document...

...And here is the final result.

I LOVE that! Now I will send photo of the kit to JC Bodart, who piloted BA-23 during the "Mission 1690"...

Well, more than 2 1/2 year between the starting of the kit and the final result, but... I'm happy.  :))

Jean-Claude Bodart, the pilot of that mission, sent me this comment today:

"Superbe réalisation! Que de beaux souvenirs..."
(Splendid work! So many nice souvenirs...)

Thank you!

For what concerns the signature, it's present on the souvenir. Hope to meet Jean-Claude Bodart next year and to make some photos with hime near the kit...
