Great Screens Marty , these two really bring back memories .. the Peacemaker .. boy had it gone to War bet see would have been given a different name , .. Now your 70 .. I had Barf showing me a very impressive cockpit photo , hells that was well over six years ago ..

Just for a change, #1 does it for me!!! Looks like a B-17 that went a bit wrong on the drawing board! Great pic, though - up to the usual SP standard

Yep, I'm up for #1 as well. I still remember buying a 1/72 scale B-36 plastic kitset - either by Hasegawa or Italeri - which I never got around to building. Ended up collecting some 1500-odd kits (99% 1/72 scale) including an extremely rare 1/72 747! Those were the days - plenty of time on my hands, single income no kids, living at home. Oh for a time machine!

1500!....wow do you still hav all of them?

Nice pics by the way ...two very different machines

A blast from the very long past ....... 2 PCs FS9 and my own network multiplay

It was a mission to get these two together

Nope - sold the lot. Just about broke even once I was done (about $5k as I recall). That was back in the day before I'd heard of TradeMe (not even sure it existed then) and broadband was largely only for businesses. Sold most of the kits via newspaper ads (remember those?) and the Thursday Trader (which was big at the time). Was sad to see some of them go, but having the money was more important than hundreds of boxes of plastic that I was never going to build.
