There was a couple spotted outside a Costco in Vancouver buying Lysol wipes by the skid (they had 2 full skids). They told the reporter who asked them what they were doing and they said they're reselling it on Amazon for $89 a six pack. Which they were paying no more than $20 for each. Amazon found out and shut their account down.

Reduce, reuse, recycle! Back on topic, CWHM has decided to postpone HeritageCon to a later date. No new date has been announced yet.

Looks good Harv! Carl

I read that initially as composed, not compromised. Harv, either way, I'm in the same boat as you with my zipper chest. Saw the doc today for a checkup and my BP was up a bit so I'm back to my original dose of BP meds. Carl

Why does this feel so appropriate here? TP and a reamer. They go hand in hand...

Still no word on whether HeritageCon is happening. Supposedly the museum is debating it at the moment and the IPMS chapter hosting there is waiting on their decision.

Last night I went to visit some friends. Went to stop at the liquor store near their house. The lineup to turn into the parking lot was insane as there is a grocery store there too. So I just park across the street and walk over. People are fighting over parking spaces. It was worse than most shopping malls the day before Christmas. Nevermind there was a lineup to get into the grocery store. Meantime, no lineups at the liquor store, everything seems to be business as usual. People have their priorities all screwed up. Lucky for me.

The panic buying has kicked into high gear here in Toronto. After the school closure was announced, people have flooded into all the big grocery stores and cleaned them out. Some had an hour's wait just to get in the door! Craziness!!! The only thing Sue and I are concerned about is our meds. I'm seeing my doctor today for a checkup so I may get an early prescription renewal if he recommends it. Carl

Ok, it wasn't just me having issues. Hopefully they get back up and running soon. Carl

The Ontario provincial government just announced they're closing all public schools for 2 weeks on top of the regular March break week off. So my boys will be out of school for 3 weeks as of tomorrow. Lots of bench time!!!

HeritageCon in Toronto (Hamilton really) is scheduled for March 29 at the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum. So far it's still on and hasn't been cancelled or delayed.

Had a visit from our postwoman this afternoon with a fairly large box from HLJ. Inside was a nice mix of stuff. Trying to catch up to JohnB. Not really but I like Corsairs almost as much as he does. This thing would have given a Jagdtiger a run for its money. Here kitty, kitty, kitty. Lastly, some AM for my B-24 and MiG The last one is help me check the accuracy of the HB kit. Carl

Very nice selection of subjects there Dale.

Superlative work there Peter. Nice save on the landing gear legs. For the springs that Wolf mentioned on the wheels, I don't know if they're small enough but Wave and T2M make small diameter spring wire. I have some that's 1.0 and 1.1 mm in diameter. If you can't find any locally, let me know and I can send some to you. Carl

Very nice as always John. I'd be up for a group buy on Corsairs too. Carl

Wow, excuse me while I pick my jaw up. Stunning work there. Carl

It's supposed to come out after the Three Mile Island limited edition hits shelves. Catl

Good advice there Phil. I've got a couple links set aside for each for that reason. On my Jagdpanther I ended up with the opposite problem in that they were a link too long so a bit slacker than they should have been.

Back to the bench, I've gotten a bit more done on the RB26DETT. It wasn't as much as I'd hope to get done as I... ...kind of got distracted building some multi piece working tank tracks. Three pieces per link, 95 links per side. One side down, one to go.

It was HIGHLY recommended that we stop at two by not just my wife's OB but my father in law who is a retired pathologist. Actually, her OB's exact words were "You're done!"

The good news there is I'll hopefully have cleared off enough of my workbench to start on it once it does come out. Carl

I'd agree that the Tamiya kit is probably the best option. The Hasegawa kit is good but over 30 years old now. The Kinetic is more recent but may be a bit more fiddly to build. Carl

My reply to that was "IT WAS YOUR IDEA!!!" At least after the second one. Carl

Tamiya now have the kit listed for an April release. A bit more expensive than the previous versions though. https://www.tamiya.com/english/products/60328/index.htm Carl

Cool! I've got the AIMS conversion to build this in 1/32 using the Revell A-4 kit. Carl
