I just started the project on New Years's Day and just last night finished playing with the engine. Tonight I will start playing with the fuselage interior . The kit supplied interior is extemely complete but AMS will compel me to add wiring and plumbing and control cables and Bowden cables for the machine guns etc. If I can work on it 1 1/2 hours a day it should be finished by the end of the month (hopefully). Anyway its a great project to start the year. I'll let you know which font I fianlly choose. This will be a first for me I do my own resin casting, vac-forming and recently my first photoetching but this will be my first custom from scratch decals.

Recently I saw a mint Lone Star Junkers JI which I had wanted for a long time and had tried Barry Stettler or Mike West for one at full price about 3 years ago but it was out of production by then. I remembered it originally sold for about $65 so I put in my max bid for this amount. I then thought I might as well go a little higher and upped my bid to $70. However I remembered that there had been a few comments about overheavy corrugations and warping and did not want to pay any more than this price. I know other listees bid for this but I outbid them and was in turn outbid by another list member. I have no problems with this at all. I bid what I wanted and would not have gone a penny more. The winner thought it worth the extra bid and rightfully won it. Sorry in advance, but if I see another Lone Star JI, or a good copy of Collishaw's autobiog, or several other things I can think of, I will bid on them irrespective of how many dibs put on them. Some of these things I have wanted for much longer than the impromptu dibber. This is what auctions are all about and, for me, the process of "dibbing" is uncomfortably close to "ringing" which is illegal. OTOH, I have seen several items at lowish bids which I might go for to have another box on the shelf, but have decided not to bid when I've seen another list members nom-d'ebay - but no guarantees - you could all put dibs on Collishaw and I'd still bid the kids education on it!
