[WWI] Added:Developments since 9-16-07

[Jim Landon]

-Thanks for the sympathy Douglas. Breaking it while trying to box it up for the trip to the contest was indeed a sad moment. My wife and I both almost cried. I wish I had simply fixed the tail and turned the model over to the museum. For that matter I could have stopped work on the model after that 3-1-06 (yes that's 2006 not 2007) contest where it won second place when it wasn't even finished. And I SHOULD have quit then ... and I wish I had ... and my wife DEFINITELY wishes I had. The kit had flaws that could never be fixed without starting over from scratch. I guess it's some kind of obsession that when I see details in a photo or drawing I just have to try to make the model as complete and correct as possible.I keep saying that I want to try assembling some dinky scale kits without even trying to find any reference material, and just spray it one color with a rattle can. So Paul forget those Salamander interior photos. Jim
