Another vote for the silver one too. It looks fast just hanging there! That same general paint scheme was seen on the F104 that chased after the Enterprise on that original Star Trek episode. There was good F104 footage and you can make out the white wings! I also liked the German F104 but didn't bu...

In response to Yappy's post, I believe the helmet, parachute, and pitot tubes came in a little bag, floating about freely in the box, so little wonder it got "lost" when the clear plastic window was removed.

Pz. IVs, halftracks, Walker Bulldogs in SC

Finally, seeing some new stuff in the Charleston area, last week the black Me-109s show up. Maybe we are back in the swing of things. Of course, the bubble top P-47s never did get here but I'll hold out!

Also, I have a fond memory of doing a recon of TRU, expecting nothing of course, and there it was and I didn't even know they were going to make a Stuka!

"New" stukas in SC

Checking out the Goose Creek WalMart (just north of Charleston) I found in addition to Tiger Is and Shermans, the new M113s and the Yellow cowlinged Stukas with the red circle/black scottie insignia. I was intreaged but I can't hang all of the stukas I have already to justify buying another one.

Here we go again?

:? Will this show up in South Carolina in 7-10 days like they used to (in the good old days) or 3 months later or not at all like they have lately. Only time will tell. That is part of the fun. Did I say fun?
