Malawak ang parking nila sa tapat ng Sheraton. May mga helpful parking guys naman na tutulong sa yo maghanap ng lugar. Di ko pa na-explore ang area dun sa may extension. Baka may mas malawak pa na parking area dun. Punta ka JMN! I visit the place twice a month at least. One orange jeep ride lang kasi from the office. Jeep Uy, welcome din sa FSM el moderator Jeepney .... Sige I'll try to go this Sunday (bukas ba?) I'll be in Rob's Manila visiting some friends sa Gundam Caravan (hoping makahingi ng free gundam kits.... ehehehehe) then I'll pass by JMN na rin at least malapit-lapit na ko dun. Hirap kasi pumunta dun when there's work... I live and work here in Alabang.

I'm pretty much am already a regular of STC (Pestebal), Hobbitoi (ATC) and Accurate Model Works (Southsmall) and am wondering if I have other options in shopping for other kits and supplies for the hobby. cbrain, hi, fellow newbie, i normally go to STC Festival , Acurate Southmall and JMNs at harrison plaza, right now its mostly JMNs its a bus ride away and they have a larger selection of 1/72 armor, and i can also place orders from the owner of the store. sometimes i go to Lil's in makati since its also a bus ride again. also, JMNs is the only store that gives me discounts. thanks a lot for the warm welcome! arlmags

Rico Rico, Why not make a brief lecture next meeting on top of Gap Filling. It's one short lecture lang so the guys will better appreciate it. Borrow a box supply from Winston and sell it to the members in case anyone will be interested. What do you think ? Noel

QUOTE: Originally posted by allan "God of all nations..." Thats about the only line I could still recall of our hymn. Go Tigers! Mang Ernie, if I may... Beth, The most apparent difference between the F-8E and the H is the nose cone. The Hs were remanufactured Ds which in turn had a narrower nose than the H (which had a larger radar and hence more bulbous nose). The PAF F-8Hs (or more appropriately the F-8Ps) also had a considerably large pod on the tail just above the rudder. The PAF Crusaders were retired sometime in the 80s and were left sitting in the grass until Pinatubo wrecked quite a number of them. A few were repainted and used as dummies for the film "13 Days."
