Isn't it amazing that once you think you are on the final leg, a million things left to do start to pop up? Maybe it's what's left of the mind trying to protect itself from overload by not letting you consider certain details till it's time to worry about them. There will be a bit of surgery required on some struts & the radiators, but the wing is on and true, much to my surprise & relief.

Maybe Ni 5141 ?? Misinterpreted "i" as "1" ?? FWIW I rarely give credit to any profile by anyone (Sorry Bob!) unless I've seen the photo it's based on and *never* believe old profiles in non-specialist publications without corroboration. Mmmm. Actually, not in the old Profile series either now I come to think on it.

The struts are all plastic, it seems like a very nice little kit to me. But you have to consider I'm the type if it looks good, I'm happy. I've had my bout with AMS, now I build for myself and pure enjoyment. If they win something, I'm surprised and happy. If not, I'm still happy, because its built. Actually I build to "Couch Scale" ... My case is on the other side of the room from my couch, so they look good from there, even with the backlighting on ! The Toko Starstrutter and the Berg DI came out together. The DI I'm really happy with. (Can't wait to get into the A/H Lozenge - from Americals.) The kit lozenge in the Berg is some wild colors, opening the box in bright light results in a religious experience ! But both kits are very nice. Mine were shipped from Hannants, as yet I don't believe they are in the states. I definitely recommend Hannant's service, especially if you're in the backwoods like me. Back to my W-29. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 01 Oct 1999 12:58:40 +1000 From: Shane & Lorna Jenkins To: WW1 posts Subject: Re: HAPPY BIRTHDAY Message-ID: <37F42360.62809C05@tac.com.au> Mick wrote the following: >> From: bucky@ptdprolog.net Subject: Re: HAPPY BIRTHDAY And how many does that make, Sharon????Enquiring minds want to know!
