Oscar Heartbreak

This story Will be appreciated by many I'm sure. My Kitbashing Buddy on the night before his 1st model show..While transporting his masterpiece from his workbench in the basement upstairs to pack-it-up for the next day's events. Well of course.. He dropped his Beautiful 1/48 scale KI 42 Oscar down his basement stairs.. "Unwilling or premature Kamakazi you say"..Lordy Lordy seven months of "super detailing, photo etch magic, correct paint ,correct decals and presentation, resin aftermarket products purchased a 5 different places".... labor of love.. smashed on his concrete basement floor...Oh the madness.The inhumanity of it all.
Seven months of work "Gone with the Devine Wind"..
The best part of this story was his wife's comments when I went showed up at his home about 15 min. after the "crash". His wife told me she heard him say Oh Nooooooo Oh! Sh..............No No No and then words or sounds like nothing she's ever heard before. Then silence. Lucky for her she did not venture down stairs at that moment..Her laughter would have tempted her doom!!!!!!!!!..... My friend still won't talk about that evening. I do think I heard him say to himself something like "I should have been in that cockpit" But my sides still ache from my held back laughter when I recall the site of a grown Man holding the remains of his Oscar in his hands and sobbing. Now I ask you all, ain't this a great past time?????
