For Dec 31
Celebrations...Here's a
special idea for parents
of young kids.
Put your clocks ahead 3 hours. When the time is 9pm....your clocks
will show 12 midnight. You can toast with your young kids and
celebrate and have them in bed by 9:30pm "real
time".

Carl Jarosz
is here with his very convincing build of his 1/48 Revell/Monogram F-102A.

convincing argument why raised panels lines are more accurate.
I like his logic. Happy
New Year Carl. |
