Decals have arrived but a bad cold lasting the past three weeks has slowed down just about everything except morning and afternoon naps.

1/48 Cessna 310 No progress
1/48 Argus Decals arrived. I affixed the tail flags only.
1/72 Yak-4 Cardboard templates cut.

Greetings All.

  Yak -1 progressing slowly. Need to manufacture some exhausts. Everything else is pretty much
   Done.

  Gannet - progressing- wings attached. Rigging done. Tail section to be attached . All rigging and
  homemade decals applied. Then the fine motor skills will have to come into play. Pictures to follow.

   I've put the two 1/144 Stirlings on a temporary hold.

   I've looked at a PE-2 (again) and have got the basic bits for a Yak 4 marked out.

   Cheers

I suggest you take copies of Ray's words at http://smm.solidmodelmemories.net/SMF/index.php?topic=370.0

I just realized I omitted Marsh's SS Gothic from last year's yearbook poster. I will ensure it is added to this year's poster.

Forgive me Lou, but those were Cliff Strachan's very elegant words. . . I could not adequately express what SMM was too my own satisfaction. Cliff excelled at it.

Have you heard from Cliff? I tried several emails and never received a reply, however the emails did not generate a delivery failure message.

No, I haven't heard from him in quite a while. His profile says he was last active; January 27, 2016. Since he is from your end of the continent you might have better luck looking him up.

We have 13 models built so far this year with the addition of John's six airplanes.
