Pan-Am space clipper model

" I'll tell you one thing; it would have impressed me a lot more if Cookie
Sewell had remembered that Monogram models had released their 1/32 scale
Panzerjager IV and Brumbar tank models back in the mid 1970's with
Zimmerit anti-magnetic coating molded right onto them, rather than his
claims that the first time that happened by a model company was around the
year 2000 or so.

Hard to forget series - those were the days of the Shep Paine diorama
sheets. But if I remember a recent post on the Atomic Cannon right, he was
in the army at that time - may have actually missed them - there was a
lawsuit that got the color sheets discontinued. Somebody claimed it was
false advertising since their model didn't turn out as good as Shep's. That
and the unfortunate choice of 1/32 versus Tamiya's 1/35 seemed to bring that
set to an early end. I built the M-3s, the Brumbar and Panzer IV are still
somewhere in my stash.
