    Got my backorder in stock notice yesterday - luv that e-mail - don't need to do anything, unless you want more or want it now, just wait and we will send it!! So in a previous order from the Big H I got my Canuck markings for the two kits about to wing their way across the pond!! I'm all set!!

    .........................and Tetra Models have just done another of their fantastic set of etch for the truck & trailer!!!! Maybe they will follow on with a set for the T-54/5????? Not part of the company just happy to spend my hard earned (well maybe) cash on their products!!!!

    Yeah that sucks, too bad a company cannot find the time to go to the post office?????????? Since I'm not out as far as you (used to live close by), just in the Backside I use the Big H's surface post, figure if the Vikings can find N.A. so can a postal freighter!? So far none missing and quickest 9 days!!!! Despite the slow & uninsured warnings............................ close by = Cool Pool

    Ahhhh Udisco, a styrene heaven to be sure!!! The entertainment was interesting = Kaptain Kangeroo, never figured out if he was store security or the greeter, boy he could talk, and talk, and talk....................... Closed up now, will probably become a bunch of trendy condos?????? The 'Fort' made it to new arrivals at the Big H!!

    Ooh, that's funny (not ha ha ) I just the 'your 2 Beauforts are in' e-mail, from the Big H, so am guessing they are finding a suitable box for shipping????

    With 2 bomb bays an Argus could also carry quite a load of lobster!!! One of the Nav School Hercs brought back a load of these delicious crustaceans from an OTU tour out east. Somehow there was a lot of liquid leaked from the load and that bird smelled pretty ripe for a while - glad I only had a handful of flights left in the course!!

    Bingo!!! Whoa that brings back memories, and looking up you see the sextant mount! Now I remember two of us (students) shooting stars at the same time (in the NT) and have been trying to think of where the second mount was; IIRC it was in the overhead hatch?! Thanks guys.

    Scotchbrite pads?????????????????????????????????? WOW Thanks for the info! My wind shield story is from my Aurora days, and we were on approach to Goose for an airshow when the co-pilots front window started to bubble!!! There were 4 or 5 of us working all the circuit breaker panels in or near the 'pit looking anything marked window heat!!??!! We made the landing and called back to Greenwood who had no answers and organized another bird for us and a crew to fly our injured bird back lo level!! It looked like a lava lamp that someone had madly shaken up!! Cheers

    Have a question for our 2 Canadian Herc guys; where was the galley? I vaguely remember left side rear of flight deck?? Didn't get to see it much as we were busy at the Nav Training Stations!? We (CAF) had a folding floor for the galley, eh? We also had 2 bunks, no? And there was a small window in the back wall of the nose gear bay, or am I dreaming? This is a great kit and I'm hoping to see lots of CF Hercs when we get back to having contests!! Thanks

    Here's a trick I have used before; make a plastic box from plastic sheet and glue somewhere ahead of the main gear. Did this with a Tornado; glued the box to the back of the cockpit section worked like a charm. I used plastic sheet from a vac u form kit (check google for the younger crowd) and made the box drilled a hole for the lead then puttied over the hole before adding to a/c. HTH I have been working slowly on my kit the only major work so far is modding the beaver tail to E style for my CAF Herc NT!!

    Mike Belcher has a CPI in his Sea King upgrades, wonder if the Forces were smart and purchased a batch for many different a/c?????
