I'm good for about 13-14 models that are about 80-90% finished. I was going to make it a New Years resolution to clear the decks, but this might help. Count me in! Will send photos to document if required.

Sounds like my X-wife (27 yrs ago). Trashed over 100 completed models while I was seeking "alternative housing" arrangements. I suspect she will receive her bag of coal "further on down the road"! She also put all my books in garbage bags and left them on the curb outside the house during a rainstorm. I recovered!

R.I.P. Harry!
Also starred in Dragnet for quite a few years as Joe Friday's partner. A long time fave!

I just happen to have one. Had it for years and really don't know why I kept it around. Send me your snail mail address, and I will put it in the mail for you.

Just a word of caution on this one! It looks like the "early" Academy P-51- which came with 7 exhaust pipes per side as per the boxtop photo!

the Downsview park one in Toronto with the Arrow replica and the Lancaster restoration. Located in the old Dehavilland construction hangers. What a rip! They have thousands of acres of available land there and they want to replace the hangers with "hockey rinks" I know the issue is not "quite that simple" but can these people totally ignore the history of the place and the artifacts? Join in on the protest! This is B.S.!

Thanks for your "understanding" in this matter. I love it when people take the "moral high ground"!

The only sign I can see of ANY kind of content, is the figure 70%. So, I'm guessing it's 70 "proof" which is 35% by volume. Average North American liquors are about 80 proof or 40% by volume. I stand to be corrected. Oh, by the way, this is only a very small bottle. Airline size. Thoughts?

Especially you Eastern block folks, A friend of mine recently returned from a 2 month trip to Europe and brought me back a small bottle of Absinth (Staroplzemecky brand). I've heard some pretty silly stories about this stuff. Any hints to enjoy this "strange brew?

by the way, this stuff is "banned" and not for sale in Ontario, Canada. But, then again is marihuana!

I had one similar in about '55 or '56. I was a "replica" (I use the term loosely) of a Sikorsky H-19 in some civilian guise that was attached to some sort of cable and you had a separate hand crank type item that moved the heli's rotors. The thing actually flew!!!!! It was on x-mas morning and I absolutely loved the thing. Only worked for about 4-5 hrs. Turns out my dad and his brother (WW2 vets) had a few "cocktails" on x-mas eve and played the thing to death. Marks on the wall paper and items of furniture showed the value of proper protective gear. But.............no one lost an eye!
A fond memory

What a co-inky-dink! One flew over my house today in North Bay which is normally reserved for the Air Canada Jazz Dash 8s and the odd private Cessna types. Unmistakeable sound and climbs like scalded cat. Had to be about 10k ft up and climbing........rapidly! And I'm only about 10 miles from the airport! Appeared to be heading Ottawa way!

I used it back in my "dial up" days! Entertaining at times and some useful info but quickly departed when ARC came along. Couldn't hack the bickering,pi--ing and moaning!
