need help to make a ill vet happy.

Post by Aviatornut.com » Mon Sep 15, 2014 9:54 am

long time friend (Vietnam Vet) that has collected 1/18 scale planes for years is in ill health. His grandson was playing with his F104 and lost the nose cone. I told him I would find one for him.
I don't care color because will paint it for him.
I will pay by paypal today.

I can not help.

I sold all of my 104s.

But if some one has a nose cone that I could copy and cast .

I am willing to do that for you.

If he still refuses you, I can still send the mine to pickel today/tomorrow for casting.
