Unfortunately, the Nimbus models showed little more than the tail section. Still I should have taken a picture. The difference in appearance between a Nimbus and Perigee is mostly size. They all had the same shape fin, and looked very similar. All Tom's planes had the two-tone blue with yellow silk. Only the one Nimbus model was the brown/white combination. I believe that was the plane shown in both the Nimbus and Perigee articles.

Included are a couple early pics. The crate was very similar to what Ed's crate must have looked like, but it contained a couple drawers...a very neat crate painted a light color. The picture also shows some of the rack used to store the wings. This picture was taken just as the crate was opened. Obviously the space for Perigee was vacant.

The second picture shows Helen Brett and Willie McMath posing with Tom's TBX-1. Since I never saw the Nimbus at the local field, but I DID see both the Apogee and TBX-1, I suppose my primary interest lies with these two planes.

The Cirrus wing I believe is visible in one picture. The Cirrus was larger, (don't know by how much yet but will find out), than BOTH the Perigee and Nimbus. Of all the pattern models Tom designed that I'm aware of, the Perigee/Apogee was the smallest.
