SPA Modeler

Johnny ain't kidding; I've found quite a few things while doing my cleanup. Talk about blowing off the dust! I've spent the past three days going through all the spare and loose parts and sorting them into respective containers. I'm still many days away from finishing that task! I haven't even gotten to all the parts stashed in model boxes all over. The good news is that I can finally see my workbench again!

Maybe I'll take a break and try working on a model again.

How many MIA parts have turned up so far?

I’d need an archeological permit to go cleaning my mess. That time is rapidly approaching.

This is my oldest kit...1958 issue.

At last count: twelve and that doesn't include the full sprue I found for my Sho't Kal Alef! I went ahead and sorted them into the containers that are earmarked for those specific types of parts.

Lyle, that Albatross is such a fun kit! I remember always wanting one and it wasn't until about ten years ago that I got to get and build one.

I remember building that kit around 1971/1972… Even was able to make the landing gear work like it was supposed to retract….
