As messed up as some places are these days, Cathy and I do live in a pretty place, went for a drive yesterday and here is a little bit of what we went through, had a nice picnic lunch on the back of my Trailblazer along the way........ looks like winter is on it's way though.......

I'd say and then some.....wow if they pull this off it will be beyond epic, look at all the potential plumbing...... I know a lot guys will say that's useless, as you won't be able to see, it , but......................... holy, that is cool.....

OK...................... I guess I need one too, Hubert, I DID think that was a 'stache and always thought wow, that is one to be proud of.................. looking closely now, I feel a bit of a DOPE....................

Thanks, for the kind wishes....................

awesome....

Thanks, James, I didn't want to blow your bubble as they say, even if it is in German, I got the odd word, but I thought it would give an idea of what's in the box..... and a teaser for your review............

Mods, if this is a hindrance to the reviews you guys are gonna do here, please delete this post.... I just thought this might give us some slight idea of what to look for soon.. Jeff

ah............................................................................................................................. ok.............................................................................

Ha, Carl, no it was more of " WE gotta get out of this place" by the Animals....

Ok guys, THIS is ME behind the wheel of one of our plow trucks a few years ago, I did this job for 38 years, not much I haven't seen weather wise or idiots on the highways.... Western Star Tandem sand truck, with a Tenco dump/sand box, Frink One way High speed front plow..... this was an average snow event in our area of southern B.C. I remember this day well......but it is most definitely ME driving this unit..... so there is actual video evidence of me caught working......

Sorry guys, I should have posted here too..... I wasn't sure Wolf would see it here, but yeah, it was really cool to see him in the latest issue of our IPMS Canada R/T ( Random Thoughts) journal, front cover AND two pages inside, even a pic of the old Grumpa getting his award, and a mention of a 'Drinking Vessel'........I wonder if he christened it with BEER??........................ whiskey???? Come on Wolf 'fess up, it wasn't hot chocolate............... was it?? Thanks Maru, for keeping me on the right track... my apologies guys....

weather there is a seam or not, it is still pretty darn cool in my eyes, and for me, a seam here or there is certainly not a game changer, I think this whole concept of big large scale models of big airplanes is really neat, and as I mentioned before, a few years ago, who in their wildest dreams would have thought we would have so much to choose from, and we are really spoiled these days...... yeah , you dead on Cees, no matter what these are going to be epic builds....

and that is what I was trying to spit out, in my clumsy way, well explained 1to 1....... still no complaints from me...

ok............ I get that, makes perfect sense.....

Those flaps would be wood for sure....

Some REAL plane parts....

ok................... I will play the devil's advocate here................... are we sure this is the 'final' product? Maybe , and I have NO clue, but could this be a mock up? I'm only wondering, and this just came to me, as with all the hype on the HK Lanc, and what was on 'display' for prototype photos, there was a lot of talk ,that this and that was and wasn't the way the final product is going to be... I am just wondering, as the top of the turret is defiantly frosted, IF by some chance this is just for 'display' purposes only? Is that possible? I'm only wondering, and I will agree the wing does look a tad low compared to some of the real deal photos here...... I NOT complaining or berating this, as it is a huge deal even if there are one or two abnormalities, it is so cool to have these large scale kits, , in my eyes anyway..... so this post is just food for thought and for preponderance, what do you guys think, is this really the final product? I think I'd be kind of surprised if it is, BUT there are guys her who know WAY more than me.... I'm just wondering......

Oh, Martin , no worries, I totally expect it, and yes winter will hit here soon as well, I have to get my Corvette put away, winter tires on both of our trucks, my mom and dad's vehicle,s Cathy's dad's truck, put away all the summer furniture, and get the snow plow ans blower ready to go..... damn I hate winter.... it is just WAY too soon......for me anyway....

Martin, I think you should have bought something a little MORE practical................................................. like a snow shovel !

I heard Cowtown is looking for 30 more cms !!

the raffle ticket thing is a great deal.... got some really good stuff with those....

me too, and the sharp climb, way cool

save me a couple door prizes, as I can't make it again this year, although Wayne is coming down...!! Been too many years away from this one for em , Peter....

I hear you there , James....
