True on both counts. Extraordinary, and difficult to believe , but there's promise.

Sanding the wheels? Yes

The longest... WTH is 85F

It's a slow process: I get a trade magazine sent to me, which this month extolled its Green Virtue because the mailing wrapper, including address window, is now Fully Recyclable ! Thing is, it's available a week prior, online.

Charl, I think we have been down this path in the past, and I never tire of being given a chance to revive it, but this time you have done it. When does engineering become an art...easy, when it's a Ferrari, of course. As you mention, decades of design are manifested in this offering. LOOK at it !! Borders on Quantum thinking...a solid being fluid ...at the same time. Re the limited edition 1/8 scale model ...if I could I surely would.

Not sure what you refer to Subs sorry. It comes across as though somebody lost an Army, that is just my impression. So Orwellian and the more closed up and CONTROLLED a Society it is the less Happy they are. An unhappy Society always eventually turns against their oppressors. I hate the oppression in New Zealand, it is thoroughly disgusting.

Chopper Nut, Thanks for interesting answers. The funny thing is I cannot even remember the 20th century price of paint brushes used for painting model planes and model tanks. Regards, Aharon

Got "a lot more" where those came from too :) Mark C AKL/NZ

Great post... nice to know you are still around Big Guy.

And yet, the last time I ordered something from Melbourne, it took two weeks by courier :lol:

Somewhere like Pima might get it... or JSC if they could find room

Nick , no I dont ...I've become an FOF ...Fickle old fart <_< Oh Mark, a couple of years back I sold all of those kits on behalf of my brother who needed to cash up. If only I had thought forward ...such is life. I will try and hunt down that Heller 135, thanks for the heads up. Nick, I do keep an eye on the dude on trademe...God knows where he finds all that stuff ....have a good weekend chaps :thumbup:

The steerable chute thing is an interesting concept. Back when Gemini was on the drawing board, there was an idea to have it deploy a hang glider type wing once in the atmosphere so the astronauts could actually fly it to a landing. The concept had enough merit that they built one...

I may take you up on that Rob (pay my way of course) Its only biddy piece , I will search again and be in touch.

My back garden at the moment with all its wildflowers blooming...>>> Memories of San Francisco and Flower Power... :rolleyes: ...! Paul.... :D ...!
