    Hi Paul, it hit 51deg. here today......wouldn't exactly call that Spring weather but it sure beats the Hell out of 38-40 deg. which we have been having for the past week. I'm blowing paint on my Rooskie chopper tomorrow. Hope it warms up for you in the Man Cave.

        Thanks Paul. I'm back on this now I've had my engineer fix. Pilots do not fit well, so surgery is required.

              I'm totally ignorant when it comes to these beasties....if it works for you, that's all that is required.

                  Some great work on such a small scale Paul, don’t know how I missed most of this.

                    Thank you gentlemen. Not the best engineered models as they often lack locating pins or holes for them when they are supplied, also destructions are somewhat vague. Why is it w/wingy things the canopies never seem to fit just right? I've saved the toughest for last as the gun supplied is really primitive & no figs. supplied so aftermarket fig. surgery is required.

                      That's to make up for not having tracks! Well you wouldn't want it to be too easy would you?

                      Coming along well Paul.
