                        GAWD, I hated that stuff...  Had to buy a tube to get the wife offa my back about "glue-fumes".... Decided to get a different wife instead of buying a second tube of it...

                        BTW... I don't have to get all over that post, Manny.. I already knew it, heh... Stick out tongue

                        wow, yeah, that blue tube stuff was awful. Made me decide to move out and go to school so I could get the good stuff again.

                        I have to give alot of credit to the well engineered kit. To those who think Revell doesnt make great kits should build one of these, hell Accurate Miniatures thought it was great too to put their name on this particular kit. Yet another kit the proves Revell is well worth the money.

                        Still need to add the radio components before the instructions say to close her up. Even though the picture doesnt show it due to flash wash-out it has some dry brushing but will add alittle grime to this interior. More late tonight.

                        If there`s a will to get high, there will be a way. "Huffing" was a scourge in Philly when I was a kid. I was a US Naval Sea Cadet back in the early `80`s and sometimes had to ride the "El" (elevated trains) and a bus to get to drill. Bridge and Pratt was the major hub and anywhere you looked, there were signs of it...paper bags with paint in `em, dust masks, you name it. It was easy to pick out the offenders too...Clown

                        Got the PE today, just the basic color set so that means some scratch build will be needed. First time for everything. More progress tonight!

                        While waiting on my PE stuff to arrive got start on the pit, and fixed to seat. Cut out the section that was just way to plain and added some bent wire to simulate the real seat. Better now in my eyes. Wanted to get more stuff done but until the PE comes in is when I know what I need to scratch build or not. Looking at chuck's build his PE had the bomb release? control tower (left side of cockpit mounted on the floor) in PE and dunno if the Eduard zoom set comes with that. If not I have a block of resin that can do the trick... This is a really nice kit BTW.

                        Yeh Hans,  Mattel was way ahead of their time with this "toy".  As simple, safe and convenient as their vac-u-form was, it could be still making money if they produced it.  Well maybe,  it would probably just be a bunch of old Baby Boomers interested when it came down to it.  It is a nice little outfit.     Rick.

                         

                         

                        Heh.. I doubt Mattel would be in business, 

                        Agreed for same reasons.

                        Wonder if future model builders will need permission to own some of the tools we now take for granted.

                        Heh.. I doubt Mattel would be in business, Rick.. In our current society, with its propensity for seeking monetary gain from the slightest source of injury through user/parental stupidity, a "toy" that used heat and household current (through an ungrounded plug) would have bankrupted them in a month... 

                        Hell, people today grow up wearing  helmets while riding bicycles and shorts & sneakers while riding motorcycles, and when driving, they need a TV camera and automatic braking to keep from running over their own kid in the driveway...

                        Us Boomers grew up just  fine, and the cars had no seatbelts and steel dashboards...
