When I was a kid it was Chuck's Hobby Hangar in Woodland Hills, Ca, and Karl's Toys in West Hills. In the UK there was a hobby shop near my uncle's home in Sandhurst, and a big shop in London where I found an Airfix 24th Spitfire for the equivalent of $5 US thanks to the exchange rate. In Glasgow I don't recall an LHS but just about every small convenience type shop had a selection of kits. Fun times!

Found the insert! Awesome! Recently I found a photo online of PD328 with the bomb bay open. Most visible was a spare mainwheel but I wonder what else was there? Extra fuel tanks I'm sure. Aries must've flown like a fighter without the tactical loadout no matter what.

I'll double check! Thanks!

I wonder if I'd be able to get the Dambuster edition's dorsal turret plug from HK?

I'm looking forward to all the sights. The aquarium being one of them. Mainly I'm looking forward to renting or buying a house that won't be much more than the H.O.A. fees I'm paying right now per month.

Got hangar space for my Lancaster & He-111H down there in Atlanta. Seriously though, how big would a hangar be for a Lanc in 32nd scale?

If anyone asks me why I haven't or suggests I should, my response will be "because I don't want to look like an idiot."

I've read some great stories about the Submarine Spitfire and the Gossamer Meteor.

I have a Chevy 3/4 ton crewcab 4x4. I'll fit right in.

Getting used to the traffic & the humidity will be a challenge. But the much lower cost of living will sweeten the deal! Traffic in the L.A. area is about as bad and I won't be blowing $2.5k a month on rent.

The company I work for had a position open up at their Atlanta facility. Wish me luck! Looking forward to it.

I'm considering foiling it but do I get the foil at a restaurant supply??

Hard to say for sure as the serial # is missing in the top photo.

Found the paddle blades. They were buried amongst the earlier ones and the bomb sprues.
