Many thanks OC. I read in a post of yours about you experiencing problems with the movements of your hands. I am really sorry to hear that and I really hope that you can find some remedies for that.

Warm greetings,

Dan

Thank you kindly Dan.

Thank you very much OC. Now what’s next? I spent time today opening boxes, ship (USS Lassen), AFV (A34 Comet), figures (Pegaso Slavic warrior) and not feeling very motivated. I’m sort of gravitating towards the figures.

Looking forward  to All them mate.

Turkey ended up with a good number of my unit's F-4Es back in 1991. I missed the delivery flights because I was the trial WSO to go to tanker school at Castle AFB, CA. Later on, when we were in Pisa, supporting the shenanigans in Bosnia, the Turkish F-4s sported our nose art of the Tiger heads. The rest of the markings reflected the Turkish AF. I look forward to seeing your build of one of those Z-M Phantoms. 😁

Hope its  ok me posting  these  -  "Turkish F4Es"   -  Shot by me.

OC.

Hope this  helps for reference   - I took it in 2017

That RFM Sherman is  supposed to be a Superb kit,  and I can not wait to  see you start the Phabulous  Phantom kits  -  as I bet Ken  feels the same.

Excellent work  being  done   reminds me of my Mossie  build  I did in here a  few years  back  -  so love these planes.

Hello  all my friends - just thought I would drop in here to tell you what I have been upto,   I have put all building  work on Any builds on a  (for now)  permanent hold  as health with my hands will be a  real handicap with any builds  due to gripping and handling  small parts,  my  condition I suffer from  called   -   Dupuytren's contracture (also called Dupuytren's disease, Morbus Dupuytren, Palmar fibromatosis  is  spreading  further from my small finger into my palm, and the same thing is happening  on my other hand starting from my Fourth  finger at the knuckle - not good  but I will  not  have hospital treatment for it as it would involve surgery and skin grafts.

Thank goodness I have all your builds  to follow.

OC.

More excellent progress  in little land  -  loving it mate.
