Totally agree with you. The white bottom and EDSG uppers just look right

I've heard Greyhound was very good. Unfortunately, I don't have AppleTV. :bag:

Nor do i. But, you can see snippets of it from FB reels.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

probably the most attractive paint scheme that the B-17 and B-24s ever wore

Oh wow.... I do like those schemes. Maybe the Liberator would convincing enough to do it in the scheme after all.

You can do a 7 day free trial. It's a GREAT movie.

Agreed! I watched it again with my sone when he was home on leave a few months ago and enjoyed it even more the second time. A great counterpoint to Das Boot.

Picked up another Sheman, or two. I've gone ahead and gotten the hair brained idea of building several of the variants. I picked up the Jumbo on the cheap on Amazon and the Firefly was a good deal on evilbay. Still need to get the 105 and at least a wood clad PT variant as well. I'm sure there are others. I have the M4A3 76, M4A3E8 Fury, 2 M4A3E8, M4A3 75 as well.

If you can't fix it with duct tape, you're not using enough duct tape.

Got a new bookshelf for more room for books and models. I moved all the Gundam to the new shelf.
