built a lot of RFM stuff from their entry, and always top notch. I'll buy one is it's in 1/48th or even 32nd scale gary

I have the invite, but will probably go with the 40&8 guys gary

the 32nd scale kits are really bigger than I have space for. Still have two or three 1/48th scales kits gathering dust. I once read a full build log on the Revell kit, and I could see a lot of extra work involved. Have never see the Trumpeter kit in the flesh. Still not exactly fond of Trumpeter as they've rooked me a couple times in the past gary

had to be down south as all the O1's and O2's were pretty much taken for FAC use. Add to this that pretty much two thirds of I-Corp was a free fire zone, so there wasn't much use for leaflets. I did see them out on the coast being dropped by slicks. gary

can't recall ever seeing a DC-3 from that company gary

I'm an I-Corp Rat; class of 68. I never saw a fixed wing ever dropping leaflets up my way, but saw choppers doing it along Highway One. Not saying it never happened, but betting it happened down south gary

must be Danville IL. Danville IN doesn't have an airport gary

just a note: The lend lease airframes sent to Russia had the cargo doors on the otherside (or maybe entry doors). I think Finland was similar. gary

OK; I gotta ask you a question. What field did this DC 3 fly out of? Sorta reminds me of Freeman Field (corn field and all) gary

unless it just has to be a Monogram kit, you might look for an Accurate Miniatures P39. I've got a couple and they see to be a good kit gary

what a year! Two A10c's that look out of this world, and only to be followed by the F16 to end all F16's! Is it me, or do I see some wrinkles in the skin? gary

and I've been wanting a good Mig17 for eons and eons! I'm good for two gary

just slightly off topic, but still concerns the B26b. Did the RAF ever fly the B26b? gary

thanks for answering a question that's been on my mind for years. Which B17f was Charlie Brown's plane of course. I kinda want to combine a B17f with a B17g and some after market to build a "late" B17f someday. Ye Old Pub has always been on my bucket list after reading the book No Higher Call. Want to do Mr. Stigler's 109 as well. gary

good kit, but there are at least three different B17f's made. Not sure which one fits your bill, but doubt it's the very late one with the chin turret. gary

I'd guess it to be the older Monogram kit. Revell may have reboxed it under their name, but not sure it's the same plastic. gary

I still like the Revell B17's, but as much as I like them; I liked the old Promodeler even more. Have not had one in a while, but see them for sale regularly. Would really like to see HKM do a small scale B17 gary

Allison had a C47 in Indy that had a T56 turbo prop in the nose. I seen a few pictures of it. gary

I can't think of the name, but it's called "Blue" something leader materials. They do a lot of off shore stuff with hard mono. You won't see it out west much, but it's the best I've seen. The state record for a Musky here is 42lb and it seems that it was listed as a 60" fish last year. (they didn't publish as much data this spring in their hand outs). I've caught three or four 22" large mouth bass on a fly rod, and actually tied the record fish for last year, but never turned it in (never thought about it). Besides I've been chasing one fish for two or three years now, and he's at least a 24"

that's exactly what I said when I heard he statement. The DNR does a yearly shocking in that lake, but rarely release data. It's a hard lake to fish because the water is so clear, but do know there are some big fish in there. Biggest tiger I've seen in there would be in the forty four inch range, and that's been a few years back. There's another lake further south that I've seen several fifty to fifty five inch musky come out of, but these are true musky's instead of being a hybrid. Tigers could get that big because they tend to retain most of the traits of a northern pike, and they are well

I thought about it and simply passed on it! Wrong kit at the right time. They should have done a MK.Vb or C, or a new MK.XII. My money is going to Revell this year with their new Hurricane (thinking I need three or four kits) as this was one of the most desperately needed kits for eons. Add to this that somehow I have to get the money together to buy two P40b kits from GWH. gary

just heard a couple days ago that they shocked a 72.6" tiger musky a few minutes from my house. That fish would be dangerous! Also much larger than the state record Musky. The lake that tiger lives in is known to have them in there, but also seem to be hard to catch. Had a few follows and maybe two or three on, but have yet to actually get one in. If it ever stops raining, I plan on running four to six inch streamers at them. If I get hits, I'll move up to eight and ten inch ones. Yesterday I went over to have a good look at three of the best small mouth streams in the midwest, and they all

then you could build a 1942 bomber gary

the one thing I loved about the C130 was that there was one based out of Chu Lai, and had seven crew men. They actually built a large mess hall for those guys even though the Marines had a similar one a quarter mile east. This was the best food in Chu Lai, and the mess sargent had pineapple upside down cake every day. I headed strait over there everytime I flowed thru Chu Lai That mess hall would probably hold fifty or sixty people at a time! In I-Corp most SF camps saw almost nothing but C7's and choppers. A102 probably saw 10 or 12 choppers a day with all the need be stuff to s

Prior to hitting Cam Rhon in Dec. 67, my only flying time was on a Lockheed Electra, a Boeing 707, and lastly a Convair 880 (been that long). My flight out of Cam Rhon was in the back of a C130, and thought it was going down at any minute! I vowed to never every get inside one again (it was all the screeching and grinding back there). So about the third week of January Top says I have to go back to Cam Rhon as they forgot to have me sign the pay roll card and next of kin cards. We got about a six or seven mile jaunt up Highway One to get to Chu Lai. Sure as hell it was a C130! Might have been
