  1. If I win the lotto jackpot I will make you an offer that you won’t refuse on the build. My grandma built those during the war, she always told me about all the wee little parts that went into the machine. She loved telling me those stories and she was so proud of her work.
  2. Does he do additional runs? I’ll try and get from the first batch.
  3. Neil just built an absolutely fabulous Hampden from the FM kit. Now that a shake and bake kit is planned, I hope my build is half as nice as his build.
  4. Very nice tribute you have planned. I have met one of the those who planned the escape, we had Barry Davidson (the scrounger) speak at several of our mess dinners when I was in the RCAF. He was an amazing man and had fascinating stories. He bribed German soldiers to provide items like a camera for forgeries, train schedules, ink, pen nibs, timber, and travel permits crucial to the escapers. He didn’t make it through a tunnel that night, which likely saved his life. He was played by James Garner in the movie. I am certain he would have known Romuldas. Barry passed away in 1992 at the age of 82.
  5. Sell it for billions before those who can’t read are told verbally about the ICM kit.
  6. I wouldn’t say they were armed to the teeth with high technology weapons. And the military was not that well trained, especially the conscripts on the Falklands. The war was started for one reason, to distract from the economy.
  7. They gave the UK new sidewinders for the original conflict, they do care.
  8. Argentina was broke when they invaded the Falklands in 82, it was the main reason for the conflict, to distract the country from their economy.
  9. The US probably installed a kill switch if they try to invade the Falklands again.
  10. Very nice, I’m itchin to build one of my two GWH Mig-29s now.
  11. You aren’t alone, I have three too. First time in a long time too that a kit went straight from delivery to my work bench. And now I will have a fourth.
