What an incredible innovative idea. Those guys knew what they wanted and had to build it. It appears to work very well. Thanks for posting Carey.

Clever bit of fun there.

Sadly, today's modelers want to know when someone will import one for them...which sucks the fun right out of the hobby.
Quite frankly, I’m against people who give vent to their loquacity by extraneous bombastic circumlocution.
