This old girl hasn't been forgotten, I did some repairs that she needed after the moving around caper, she's fine and is in the "await paint" stage as well, tho her coat will be an undercoat only for now........Phil

Added a few more little thingys here and there to her, and I also started work on the aircraft crane, while rummaging thru the boxes of stuff, I found a brass kit from Flyhawk of the crane.
So I figured that I must have bought it, deliberate like, for this very kit, it has the catapults as well.......so building these will give me something to do while I wait for some good painting weather.......Phil

I also acquired a product called CO Contact Cleaner from CRC, it is a spray on cleaner that takes the dirt away when it evaporates, ie fingerprints etc. I remember using it at work to clean motherboards and decided to give it a go on brass PE, works a treat, give it a go it's also plastic safe.........Phil
