Out of all of the Tamiya Corsairs you have built do you by chance have the national insignia decals with the red border, from the F4U-1A kit, left over in your spares box? I could use them if you do. Tried to PM you a message but it says JohnB cannot receive messages. ??? Jerry

Just finished is the Hasegawa 1/32 P-40E done as Tex Hill's P-40E '108'. Used Yahu PE IP and Eduard PE seatbelts, otherwise OOB. I have also done his P-40B Tomahawk some years back. Aircraft 108 was one of the replacement P-40E's picked up from India. The U.S. stars were replaced with the Chinese suns on the wings and were painted out on the fuselage sides, but the U.S. ARMY under the wings was retained. Tex Hill was associated with this aircraft in most sources, especially during the Salween River Gorge missions. Cheers, Jerry

Met Jack at Model Fiesta in San Antonio many years ago. Have his signed book. Cheers, Jerry

Thanks Tim. I only got to know one of my great grand parents and one grand parent so I feel blessed that I get to know 10 grandchildren and so far 6 great grand children (one great grandson in that mix LOL). I will be 83 7/30). Cheers, Jerry

Charlie Vail Cordell arrived at 7:27 pm last night (7/14) weighing in at 6 lbs. 1 oz. All doing fine. Cheers, Jerry
