Ā b/ I prefer publish in well known magazine instead of the "Kit" But, when I started an IPMS chapter who did a Model show an a complete "Kit" magazine with my fellow club members .... They did'nt changed their minds, I was still labelled an irrelevant member... Ā Sooo after years, I'm back in IPMS... But as a very bad belgian, I give my money to IPMS U.K. Ā Back to the Hurricanes, these CBI Hurricanes are very tempting for me .. Keep up that wonderfull hairy stick job !!!Ā Sincerely.
