[WWI] Americal-Gryphon

[Hooper, Dave]

Coming from the other side of the Atlantic I've never experienced
Americal-Gryphon decals, however it does seem to me that there is a
general lack of aftermarket decal companies willing to look at Pre-WW2
subjects and for that matter alone I guess Americal Gryphon will be
missed. 

With all the knowledge, talent and resources within this group, surely
we could pull together to produce some stunningly accurate decal sheets
ourselves. Food for thought.

Regards

Dave

Quality of his decals aside, I found Glen to be pompous and abrasive. He
even threatened to shut down this list because someone shared an
instruction sheet for his decals here. He didn't contact me and ask that
I take care of it, he started right off with a threat.

This action (burning his remaining stock) doesn't surprise me at all. It
seems to me he didn't really like being in the customer service
business. 

Talent only goes so far.
