For some reason, Bondo has changed the color of their curative from red to blue. Perhaps Bondo is owned by Ta-Ray-Za. P.S. Yes, some people are killfiled. But astonishingly enough, some of us can find things on our own, thanks. |

Still, more jet fighters need wheel pants... This always looked like a fun set also: http://www.spacetoys.com/cart.php?se...6239166&item=4 Meanwhile, Alex Panchenko now has a model of a really wild looking new MiG fighter on his site that looks a lot like some of those A-11 inspired fighters that Lockheed tried to interest the Air Force and Navy in: http://www.ussr-airspace.com/catalog...965eab073b573c http://www.ussr-airspace.com/catalog...c061e5ea5aeddb Pat |

I'm sure you can also find the pictures of the model of the the Spiral 50/50 made by the Molniya company itself ... the model that doesn't agree with what you are presently building in a lot of details. Hee-hee. It's very cold in space, isn't it? Pat |

I've heard complaints about the color change from other
sources, and the common point of bitching seems to be "dammit! Now I have to buy a different primer!" Doesn;t bother me too much. Just came a bit of a surprise, as it has also included Bondo-equivalents from *other* companies. One wonders if the EPA was involved or something. If the two of you would just killfile Rand Rand is far less annoying than Pat, and Rand at least has the advantage of being neither a socialist useful idiot nor completely uninformed about aerospace engineering. you wouldn't have anything to fight about. Doubtful. I have sufficient draws on my time without Pat's self-important gibberish. He used to be witty, but that seems to have come to an end. |
