April Ping 2018

[lastvautour]

Happy Easter for those who celebrate, Happy April Fool's Day for those who play and Happy Birthday to the Royal Canadian Air Force. Hopefully spring has come to the northern hemisphere.

The March ping has been sent to everyone with an active email on SMM. I only received half a dozen rejects for the last two group emails . In total I may have received approx 30 inactive emails. It is hoped to reactivate the membership. I just viewed who is on line and found two signed in members and another three viewer looking at Marsh Ping, so we are getting some response.

Nieuport 11 - started gun and installed rigging.
HMCS Aurora - inactive
Tank Mark IV - inactive
1/32 Sabre - Inactive
1/72 Hurricane - fuselage carved and rough sanded. Second wing block cut. First wing ruined beyond repair.
Photo Op Hangar - heating ducts printed, cut and glued/shape.

New aluminum paint arrived. Neither bristle nor spray brush giving what I want. I will take the least of the bad and go with that.
