You're giving me itch to go the ways of aircraft again after seeing all of this superb building John.

Thanks guys! Both the G-6/AS and Ta152H projects are progressing in parallel fashion. When I encounter a mishap or disappointing result on one build, I jump over to the other.

Just to let you know, I'll be taking a short break from modeling as I will be leaving for Central Asia on March 2 for two weeks.

Wow! Have fun! Let us know if you do the falconry and how well you did. Pics of course; would be most welcome!

Thanks guys! This is a trip that I've been doing for the past five years so I'll be seeing some good friends over there. Last year, we stopped for a scenic view at a ski resort and I couldn't resist taking a photo with the Golden Eagle. I've had a fascination with birds of prey ever since I was a child. Funny thing was that the local operators of the photo op tried to con me into paying twice. After taking the photos, I paid and was told that printing the photo would take 30 minutes. I said I would go up to the summit and pick up the photo on the way down. On the way down, the operator asked for payment again and was insistent that I did not pay the first time. Of course I refused, offered eyewitnesses who saw me pay and told them I was insulted by their accusation. After some back and forth, they gave me the photo and waved me away but I refused to leave until they acknowledged that I had paid. My daughter tugged my arm and said, "Let's' just go", but I couldn't. It was not about the money but the principle. They finally grudgingly apologized and I was able to leave with my manhood intact.

No matter where you are in the world - someone will always try it on!

Great shot John! I've been a couple of Falconry courses over the years, it's a great thing to do. I do wish I had the space/time to get a bird of my own but until then it's just nice to see them being displayed.

Have a good trip, John. All the best.
