Mike, Thank you, you may see it in person in jun if I can make it to ATL. Tracy

You know, we all have different levels of experience and skills. As a modeler, reading the directions, of perhaps an subject I may have never seen, I must rely on the guidance of said directions for color and placement of objects on the object. And we can all agree that the directions can go from the most vague to 'do this in this order or else' (I love AM!). Building a SOB kit for the reviewing process is so modelers will have some idea of what they are going to face if they take on the challenge of making this particular kit. If the directions say ‘paint it steel’ (which is a color palette unto itself) then that is what I am looking for. Later on down the road, I can enhance it with colors, weathering, dry brushing, etc. of my own choice and skill level. But if the tracks don't fit in the first place, or you have to remove the parts you glued on in step two so you can do step four, I would like to know these pitfalls in advance so I am ready to deal with them. The review is supposed to be a review of the kit and not a review of the modeler (as well said by my wife). You all have a great modeling day!!

Ladies and Gentlemen, While I have not SEEN the new EPA ruling banning tenex and other liquids, I had a conversation with a person who also informed me that MEK is also banned now. MEK is the main ingredient in most liquid cements i believe (it's listed so on the bottle I just looked at). If this is the case then this may be a fundamental shift in the items we use to put together our stuff. SO this problem may be deeper than we may think. If this is the case, and I would like to see the EPA ruling to ensure we are talking with all of our facts on one sox, then we al may be looking for another type of glue to use very soon. OK now can someone please pass me the red and white tube there?? Tracy

I think some 48 stuff usable in A/c dio's would be cool. A peacekeeper, some 40ish fuel trucks and towing vehicles would be great. In 35 armor mayby it's time to look at the pacific and see what japan made, other than old Tamiya. Some off countries in Europe like Rom, Greek, and Italy. Also some new molds of old French stuff as targets for the German armor! Some of the hellers are very long on the tooth! Tracy

Andy, Great job. Love the camo job, and was wondering: Are all the markings decals or did you paint some (I had to paint the tail ines and was thinking bout the roundles too)? Tracy
