  Proceeding with the W29 .
  Have done the last of the lozenge.
  Home made decals completed. Using a new paper so will be a bit of an experiment.
  Pictures to follow.

   Macchi M5.
   The port holes in the upper decking near cockpit. Initially used some windows from an old plastic
   helicopter kit. Wasn't happy with result. Experimented with plunge molding . Some success.

Gentlemen, I believe that I would be not out of place, in this place. That normally shuns the darkness of the outside world. . .
To speak to those of us that feel as though North America is tearing it's self apart. The Earthquake in Mexico, the hurricanes in the south as well as the Gulf and the Islands. The wild fires. . .   To much to list, almost too much to keep track of. I looked out my windows last weeks and saw smoke from Oregon, Washington, California and British Columbia. I had to wear a mask, I have, in the past worked around large fires, seen what was left. My Prayers are with you and yours and I think the majority of SMM members will agree from all over the world they are thinking of you and them too.
