well played Mike

Ok, I should explain few things here. I run out of cardboard stock I run out of unicorn sticker and rainbow stamps I often ,,,every single package I received from Ern was addressed to some Serbian war-lord, even the correspondence from Fed-Ex was addressed to all kinds of scary guys. Ernest has pretty much the same, twisted sense of humour as I do, ( that was an understatement) so it is all fine and dandy !

awww

There not much else to loose, is it not? Oh wait,I almost forgot,,, the freedom of speech.

Nice!, I missed out n the build, but the result tells the tale. Not a easy build thats for sure, complex breakdown , unnecessary detail, etc.. I shelved my Ta-152E conversion for the very same reason :). Once again BRAVO! Cheers M.
