A big thank you to member 'Millard'. The Imai/Ertle Chebec arrived the other day.A great way to start the new year. I was expecting it come surface in about 7 weeks but he kindly sent it Air and it took only a week and a half.
I have been lusting after this old kit for 20 odd years after I lost my first one when my marriage broke up.(hey,take the wife but leave the ship)

When Millard mentioned to big jake that he had 3 I just could not resist it. I really remember this model I think because of the detail.After years of Airfix and Heller,to see a kit with metal fittings,real cloth sails and fantastic moulding detail was a revelation.I know it is an antique and should be kept reverently in the box but no-way.This baby is going to get all the TLC 40 years of model building can give it.
Big Jake......Get one, get one.
?????How can a box of plastic parts give so much pleasure???????
happy new year Guy and gals from a surprisingly snow free and balmy Warsaw Poland.
