Stuart

BE SHURE to ask if your Wal Mart has Half off weekends.I went to the CERES Ca.Wal Mart.(before Badcat made a sweep)and got one priced at 70.00.It rang up at 30.00 where I promptly ran and got the other one.All clearance items are 1/2 off Friday night through Sunday there.Ask your local stores if the...

109 G

Got mine today from Far Out Toys in San Jose.The updated G version tail was painted seperately,thus making the camo have an abrupt line where it fit onto the aircraft,sort of half blotches at the seam.Looks horrible.And the wings don`t seem to want to stay firmly snapped into position.I don`t know i...

EBAY

I was booted off for a third time when i listed a "german ww2 camo smock"I avoided all of the buzz words that had previously gotten me booted.It was a plain ss oak pattern smock with NO insignia.You had to know your uniforms to recognize it.Yet some pinhead on the COMMUNITY found it offensive.I fire...
