Scale Talk by Dave Wood
Newsletter Rundown by Bob Kern
Looks Like we are starting to get into Building Season as the
temps dropped into the 40s last week and as I write this its
gray, it’s raining and the wind is blowing the walnuts and
leaves off my tree out back, so I'm sure we'll see some great
builds on the tables in the upcoming months.
Speaking of upcoming months Christmas is just over two
months away so I would like to get a rough head count of who
and how many will be accompanying you for the party.
Last month’s meeting was like a time machine for me when I
saw Joe "The Cotton Ball Kid" Cirillo set up his models with
all the cotton, I flashed back to my childhood room with the
sewing pin wheel stands and (cotton) smoking tires, the war
planes noise diving from the ceiling trailing (cotton) smoke
really brought back some fond memories, Thanks Joe!
The 2015 Scale Auto Contest Cars showed up at my door
and Congratulations to John White for having his 1956 Chevy
210 Del Ray featured in the NNL EAST show pictures, also I
understand he and Tory Mucaro took some awards home
from the Diversified Scalerz show in Belleville last week
Congrats guys hope to hear more about it at the meeting.
Model of the Month - Last month we discussed possibly
dropping the Message Board Model of the Month contest and
everyone decided to keep it going. So if you want to
nominate and or submit a model please let me know at the
meeting and I will take pictures if I don't get any nominations I
will ask a random member to pick 5 models.
Kit Raffle Winners - We had 4 pulls and the Winners are: Joel
Brower, John Stark, Steve Rehberger, and Chuck Rehberger.
That's it for this month
Can you believe that it’s already October? Boy has this year
gone by fast. We have had a fats year but a good year also.
I look back and see we had some great articles in the
newsletter and some great contributions from you guys.
Dave is transitioning well into his new position and his Scale
Talk column is coming naturally. I think he is doing a great
job so far. The rest of you guys who send in contributions
each month please don’t stop. You are keeping this
newsletter rolling and one of the best in the hobby. Anyone
with thoughts on other things you might want to see in the
future please don’t be shy, speak up and bring us your
thoughts and ideas. We want to keep it fun and interesting
for you.
This month we unfortunately don’t have any truck stuff for
the “Truck Stop” feature. We were hopeful that this would be
something that everyone embraced and wanted to see each
month but it looks like that may not be the case. If you want
to see it next month and after than we need you to be sure to
send in your contributions. Don’t just sit back and wait for
someone else to send us stuff, contribute!
Again! Remember if you enjoy reading this newsletter from
month to month be sure to take a minute out at one of the
meeting and say “Thanks” to the guys that do take their time
out to submit stories, reviews, pictures etc. each month. It’s
the least we can do.
Don’t forget, this is your club and your newsletter and it can
only remain fun, interesting and enjoyable with your help and
contributions. So review a kit you just built, if you attend a
show take some pictures, send them to us and tell us about
the show. You get the idea.
Submit to [email protected]
Remember
IT’S A HOBBY KEEP IT FUN!
See you at the Meeting

Externally, the first-generation Rams were facelifted
versions of the previous generation Dodge D-Series
pickups introduced in 1972. The new model introduced
larger wraparound tail lamps, single rectangular
headlamps, and squared-off body lines. Variously
configured Slant-6 and V8 gasoline engines were
available.
Did you know??
By Felix Plaza Jr, for JSMCC
Dodge Ram
The Ram Pickup (formerly the Dodge Ram) is a fullsize pickup truck manufactured by FCA US LLC
(formerly Chrysler Group LLC). As of 2010, it has been
sold under the Ram Trucks brand. Previously, Ram was
part of the Dodge lineup of light trucks. The name Ram
was first used in 1981 on the redesigned Ram and
Power Ram following the retiring and rebadging of the
Dodge D Series pickup trucks as well as B-series vans.
The truck is named for the Ram hood ornament that first
appeared on Dodge vehicles in 1933. The Ram Truck is
in its fourth generation as of the 2009 model year.
Ram trucks have been named Motor Trend magazine's
Truck of the Year five times; the second-generation Ram
won the award in 1994, the third-generation Ram Heavy
Duty won the award in 2003, the fourth-generation Ram
Heavy Duty won in 2010 and the current Ram 1500 won
in 2013 and 2014. The Ram is currently built at the
Saltillo Truck Assembly in Saltillo, Coahuila, Mexico and
at the Warren Truck Assembly in Warren, Michigan,
United States.
As of 2014, the Ram truck Series are available in the
United States, Canada, Mexico, Peru (Ram 2500 only),
Brazil (Ram 2500 only), and the Middle East (Ram 1500
only) in LHD only.
First Generation 1981–1994 (D/W)
1981 Dodge Ram
The first-generation Ram trucks & vans introduced in
1981 were named for the Ram hood ornament that first
appeared on Dodge vehicles in 1933. Dodge kept the
previous generation's model designations: "D", "B" or
Ram indicated two-wheel drive while the "W" or Power
Ram indicated four-wheel drive. Just like Ford, Dodge
used 150 to indicate a one-half ton truck, 250 for a threequarter ton truck, and 350 for one-ton truck. Standard
cab, "Club" extended cab, and crew cab versions were
offered along with 6.5 ft (2.0 m) and 8 ft (2.4 m) bed
lengths and "Utiline" and "Sweptline" styled boxes.
Second Generation 1994–2002 (BR/BE)
1994 Dodge Ram 1500
The Ram line was redesigned for the 1994 model year.
Development on a second generation began in 1986,
ending in late 1992. A more conventional design was
originally scheduled for a 1991 production; when Bob
Lutz showed it to the new designers, chief design
engineer Phillip E. Payne told him, "It looks like nothing
more than a rehash of everybody else's truck." At that,
Lutz told him he had 6 months to come up with
something better. The exterior styling of the truck that
was eventually released was the result of design
concepts by Payne during 1988-1990. A review by the
Dodge pick-up truck studio designers felt that modern
pick-ups looked "too flat and sedan like", while the early
50's Studebaker pick-up and the 18 wheeler trucks had
just the right "macho" look to them. The design featured
a big rig-looking front end and a large grille that was
nothing like the current Ford or Chevy/GMC pickups in
design.
Third Generation 2002–2009 (DR/DH/D1/DC/DM)
Page 3
Newsletter
Chrysler LLC attempted to keep the Ram competitive in
the market through various developments for the 2009
model, including a new four-door cab style offering, new
suspension, a new hemi engine option, and the Rambox,
a new storage system that allows secure storage inside
the truck’s bed walls. Later models have the Rambox
system tied in with the remote keyless system.
Heavy Duty Chassis Cabs
2006 Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab
The third-generation Ram was unveiled on February 7,
2001 at the 2001 Chicago Auto Show, and debuted for
2002 model year on 1500 models and 2003 on 2500 and
3500 models. This was a major update including an all
new frame, suspension, powertrains, interiors, and sheet
metal. It included a larger grille, and special models kept
interest up as most competitors had adopted the Ram's
separate-fender look. The crew cab models for this
generation were actually Quad Cab trucks that had
conventional-opening rear doors. The four-wheel-drive
light trucks (1500 series) lost their live axles in favor of
an independent front suspension, but the 2500 and 3500
series retained the live axles for maximum longevity and
durability. This body style drew heavily from the previous
generation.
2011 Ram 3500 Chassis Cab
Chassis Cab versions were made for the Ram 3500,
4500, and 5500 models. The 3500 Heavy Duty model
was unveiled at the 2009 Chicago Auto Show.
2013 changes
Fourth Generation 2009–present (DS/DJ)
2013 Ram 1500 at the 2013 Montreal International Auto
Show
2011 Ram 1500 Four Door Cab
The fourth generation Dodge Ram was introduced at the
2008 North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
This latest generation was sold as the 2009 Dodge Ram
1500 starting in Fall 2008. The 2500, 3500, 4500 and
5500 models were later added to the lineup. In 2011, the
Ram Trucks brand was separated from Dodge.
The 1500 gets a minor restyling. It features new front
fascia, wheels and interior, where the "DODGE" name
was removed from the dashboard and replaced with
"RAM". All models offered for 2012 continue to be
available for 2013 with the addition of a new trim, the
Laramie Longhorn Limited. (Tradesman, Express, SLT,
Big Horn, Lone Star, Sport, R/T, Laramie, and Laramie
Longhorn). The Rambox cargo management system
continues to be available on most models for 2013. For
2013, the base ST model becomes the Tradesman
model. 2013 models have revised engine and
transmission options. The 3.7L V6 is discontinued, and
the 4.7L V8 equipped with the 6-speed 65RFE
Automatic takes its place as the new base engine, still

producing 310 bhp (230 kW) and 330 lb·ft (450 N·m).
New to the lineup is Chrysler's corporate 3.6L Pentastar
V6, coupled to the new ZF 8-speed Torqueflite8
Automatic.
2014 changes
A two-mode hybrid version was planned to begin
production in 2010, but Chrysler decided to cancel it in
favor of a smaller test fleet of 140 plug-in hybrid (PHEV)
Rams developed with support from a US$48 million
grant from the U.S. Department of Energy financed
through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
of 2009. The Chrysler PHEV pickup project has an
estimated total cost of US$97.4 million. The RAM 1500
pickup PHEV was introduced at the January 2011
Washington Auto Show. The vehicle is part of a threeyear demonstration program intended to field test and
evaluate battery performance across a wide range of
drive cycles and temperature ambients, and also to
evaluate customer acceptance. The PHEV demonstrator
pick-up trucks are assembled at the Warren Truck
Assembly plant in Michigan and the plug-in hybrid
conversion takes place at the Chrysler Technology
Center in Auburn Hills, Michigan. The demonstrators are
being allocated for field testing among local and state
governments, utility companies, and a U.S. Army base.
Chrysler has no plans for a production version.
2014 Dodge Ram 3500 Crew Cab 4x4 DRW
Issues: Fire incident, Hybrid, 2012
The option of air suspension became available on the
rear of 2014 model year 2500 & 3500 pick-up trucks.
1500 models added the option of a Eco-Diesel V6. 2500
models now feature coil spring suspension, instead of
leaf spring. The cast iron, flex fuel, 4.7 V8 Chrysler
PowerTech engine is discontinued, ending Corsair
engine production. Dodge/Ram 4.7 V-8,3.7 V-6,Jeep
was the Power tech [Dodge/RAM was called Magnum
3.7 V-6 4.7 Magnum V-8 2000-2007 2008-2013 it was
just the 3.7 V-6 and 4.7 V-8] The aluminum, flex fuel 3.6
V6 Pentastar is now the base engine, along with the
eight-speed Torque-Flite transmission. Ram now offers
the 3.6L Pentastar V6 on Laramie, and Longhorn trim
Plug-in hybrid
Ram 1500 pickup PHEV was introduced at the 2011
Washington Auto Show
In September 2012 Chrysler temporarily suspended the
demonstration program. All 109 Dodge Ram 1500 Plugin Hybrids and 23 Chrysler Town & Country plug-in
hybrids deployed by the program were recalled due to
damage sustained by three separate pickup trucks when
their 12.9 kWh battery packs overheated. The carmaker
plans to upgrade the battery packs with cells that use
different lithium-ion chemistry before the vehicles go
back into service. Chrysler explained that no one was
injured from any of the incidents, and the vehicles were
not occupied at the time, nor any of the minivans were
involved in any incident, but they were withdrawn as a
precaution. The demonstration is a program jointly
funded by Chrysler and the U.S. Department of Energy
that includes the first-ever factory-produced vehicles
capable of reverse power flow. The experimental system
would allow fleet operators to use their plug-in hybrids to
supply electricity for a building during a power outage,
reduce power usage when electric rates are high or even
sell electricity back to their utility company. The company
reported that the demonstration fleet had collectively
accumulated 1.3 million miles (2.1 million km) before the
vehicles were recalled. Chrysler also reported that the
plug-in pickups delivered peak average fuel economy of
37.4 mpg (6.29 L/100 km; 44.9 mpg), while the plug-in
hybrid minivans delivered 55.0 mpg (4.28 L/100 km;
66.1 mpg).

A Case for 1/32 Car Models
By Pete Linzsky
I’ve been stumping for a 1/32 scale page on our
websites Forum page for a time. I thought I’d put
together a case for the JSMCC to take a step into the
world of 1/32.
First of all I think that a good starting point would be
space consideration. When confronted with limited
display areas, the smaller scale certainly has its
advantages over the larger scale. I’m pretty sure that I
can fit TWO 1/32 scale cars into one of my old JoHan
display cases. Probably with some room left over!
Secondly I’ve got point to the many smaller scale builds
that appear on our Forum page already. Customs, race
cars as well as some stock vehicles are shown with lots
of detail apparent. Did I mention the truck models that
some of the members have built? They would certainly
be a welcomed addition to a 1/32 scale page.
Speaking of dioramas, a smaller scale dragstrip diorama
would be a great way to display some of Monogram’s
1/32 scale Funny Cars from a few decades back, Blue
Max, Pepsi Challenger and how about the Faberge’s
BRUTE Arrow flopper? I wonder if any manufacturer
every made a 1/32 scale ‘tree for the strip?
What about a 1/32 scale custom car show diorama?
Pyro issued numerous Hot Rods in the early 1960’s.
The “Texan” and the ”Jersey Bounce” come to mind, can
anyone name some more? Lindberg’s recent release of
the “1925 Ford Model T Street Rod” is actually a reissue
from days gone by, from the same company we also
have the 1957 Chevrolet rag top and a 1952 Chevy
fastback that begs to be customized! Surely AMT’s
reissue of the 1/32 Avanti opens the door to many
different style builds, stock, and competition builds come
to mind.
Next, let’s consider all of the kits that were issued” back
in the day” that are still available at reasonable cost.
AMT, Aurora, Monogram as well as some more obscure
companies manufactured a wide variety of kits that have
yet to be issued in the larger scales. Not surprisingly,
some of these kits are available today as reissues.
Lindberg reissued a Jaguar XK-120, an MGA as well as
a MG Midget not long ago, has anyone considered a
small (remember 1/32 scale) diorama depicting a
starting field from an 1960’d sports car event ? Torre
Pines, or Paramount Ranch starting grid?

“THE TRUCK STOP”
The 1956 Ford F100 Pickup – a Foose family heirloom that was
completely rebuilt and restyled in 2005 as part of Foose’s
"Overhaulin” television show – took top honors with 33% of the
vote. The 1948 "Eldorod” Cadillac – a blockbuster hit at the
2012 SEMA show for its custom deep blue paint job, chrome
details and hot-rod attitude – captured second place with 19%
of the vote.
The other candidates were Foose’s 1934 Ford Mercury-inspired
"Stallion,” 1935 "Grand Master” Chevy Master Sedan, 1936
"Impression” Ford based roadster, 1965 "Impostor” Impala, and
his legendary Hemisfear custom supercar coupe. All seven are
considered masterpieces and most have won major industry
awards, including prestigious Detroit Autorama Ridler and
America’s Most Beautiful Roadster (AMBR) honors.

Two Chip Foose Cars Win Fan Vote
for Revell Model Kit Production
"Going into this, I had no idea what the results would be
because – to me – each one of these cars is a favorite,” Foose
said. "As it turned out, fans wound up choosing two completely
different kinds of vehicles – a pickup and a Cadillac – and that
will make for great variety in model building when these kits hit
store shelves.”
"The fact that this survey generated more than 10,000 votes
demonstrates how passionate people are about both Chip’s
custom car designs and model car building,” said Brian Eble,
Vice President of Marketing, Mass Market, for Revell parent
company Hobbico. "These two vehicles will be strong additions
to our line of Foose-inspired scale models.”
ELK GROVE VILLAGE, IL (July 14, 2015) – With more than
10,000 votes cast in a survey to determine which of seven Chip
Foose custom car designs will be brought to market as all-new
Revell scale models, the winners are Foose’s iconic 1956 Ford
F100 Pickup & 1948 "Eldorod” Cadillac. Both vehicles will be
released by Revell as all new model kits in late 2016, providing
the market’s first authentic scale replicas of the two winners.
The two winning vehicles will be released under an exclusive
three-year licensing agreement that will also include four reissues of earlier Revell model kits incorporating Foose’s
personal design modifications. The series – beginning release
in Q4 2015 – will include full glue and paint model kits as well
as Revell’s first Foose pre-decorated model glue kits, complete
with Foose-created paint schemes, wheel designs and special
Foose renderings used only on the Revell box art.
The new scale models will add to a Foose collection that also
includes Foose 1964 and 1965 Chevy Impala, 1967 Dodge
Charger 426 HEMI, 1967 Dodge Coronet, 1969 Camaro Z/28
and 1968 Pontiac Firebird 400 Ram Air model kits.

By Dan Hogan – Committee Chair
Ok looks like we are on schedule for next month to have
another seminar, which would be the November meeting.
This one will be presented by Walter and the subject is
Drag Cars. Looking at Walter’s work and his background, I
am sure this one will get your attention.
Nice to have something back on our seminar schedule
again. Remember the program starts at 8:00 PM and
concludes within 20 -30 min prior to Dave calling the
meeting to order. Come prepared and engage Walter, ask
questions and walk away with some new found skills.
I would like to see some others step up and take on a
seminar. How about you…..?
Well, not a whole lot more to say this month that hasn’t
been said before.
Tip Talk: Take a 3M post it pad offered by countless
manufacturers and companies as give away collateral to
their customer base. I use them to drop a little glue on,
and then using a tooth pick I apply it to the parts. Clean,
no mess. I use it to test paint, dry brushing, mix glues etc.
When the top paper gets messy, just tear it off and start
with a fresh one.
See guys simple, short and helpful so don’t forget our “Tip
Talk” segment. – Who’s up for next month?
As always if you have something you would like to see in
the future or wish to present, just get with me and I will put
it on the agenda. Pass it on learn from one another.
On Saturday, October 3rd, I went to the Diversified Scalerz 4th
show. It was from 9:00 to 3:00 .There was many of the guys I
know, including Tory, John Vlahakis, John White, Dave
Copollino, Mike Capasso, Ed Isnardi and Tom Geiger. There
was about 100 people who showed up. I would think it was
more than last year’s attendance for sure. That was a lot of
guys for a little show. This was there 4th show and it is
definitely growing in attendance and participation each year.
These guys really put on a good show and they are a great
group of young men.
There was some great model cars and trucks on display.at
the show. Guys from LIARS were there selling parts and
some kits. All so the guy from the hobby shop was there
selling his kits too and there was one more guy that was
selling kits for Dave Burket. There was a lot of support from
the guys from the Jersey Shore Club and the Tri State Club
and Lairs Club and some I don't know. I only was there to
1:00 and had to go. I don't know who won all of the awards
but I did hear that Tory and John White took home some. But
there was a lot of great models. The only bad part about it
was the weather, it was COLD.
Looking forward to next year’s show.
THAT’S ALL FOLKS Doug.
Until next time, thanks again. See you at this month’s
meeting. Be safe, keep building.

REMINDER!!!
Super September Showdown XVI
Show Recap
By Chuck Rehberger
PAPER BAG CONTEST
THIS MONTH!!!
On Sunday, September 13, 2015, my brother Steve and I
went to the Super September Showdown XVI in Gilbertsville,
Pennsylvania. The show was proudly presented by Len
Feinberg and the Central Pennsylvania Model Car Club. This
year’s theme was “The European Invasion”, or build any car,
truck or bike born in Europe, in any style, in any scale. There
were also awards for twenty-one classes and best in show.
We looked forward all year to five hours of the Super
September Showdown Pennsylvania style.
We pulled into the Gilbertsville Fire Department parking lot
and we immediately noticed that the parking lot was filled up
like never before. It seemed there were even more cars in the
lot that last year’s record setting year. Upon entering the hall,
we were pleased to see it was still only $5 to enter. It didn’t
matter if you were a spectator, or entering one model or
entering thirty models, it was only $5. There were no door
prizes at this show, so I was able to keep my streak of not
winning a door prize alive.
I had intentions of entering nine models and had pre-printed
and filled out my registration form on my home computer the
night before. Although there was no wait at the front door,
the hall was really packed with builders and spectators
checking out the models and vendors. The model car display
tables were almost at capacity regarding model on display.
Classes that had been sparsely entered in the past, small
scale, firsts responders and trucks were well represented.
I decided not to display any of the models I brought, as I
thought they were much better than mine.
About an hour after arriving, I went next door to the "Turkey
Hill" hoping to get a fresh cup of coffee and a piece of "Shoo
Fly" Pie. For the second year in a row they didn’t have "Shoo
Fly" Pie. Disappointed I settled for a piece of apple pie, oh
well, maybe next year.

Back inside I experienced firsthand that the vendor's at this
show were some of the best ever. Almost all the vendors
selling kits and used parts were willing to negotiate over the
price. It seemed that half of the vendors were club members
of the host club selling kits, built-ups and parts they no longer
wanted. At Gilbertsville of all the model car shows / swap
meets selling old models, built-ups and model cars parts...
you better buy it when you see it the first time. If you don't, the
next time you come around looking for it, it will be gone.
My first stop at the vendors table, was a guy selling little
plastic bags of parts, I picked up a Rat Packer Chevy II
chassis and interior bucket, vintage funny car floors, a bag of
wheel backs, 2 cardboard AMT mini boxes, Monogram TD
slicks, and some other parts I can’t recall at the moment. The
parts bags were marked with a price, I added mine up to and
they came out to $ 5.25, when I went to pay the vendor, he
said let me see, how does $3 sound. It sounds like a deal to
me.
The next vendor had a cardboard box of vintage tires, a set of
AMT Firestone Red/Blue lines, two sets of MPC vintage late
60’s annual kit Good Year tires, two sets of recent AMT
hollow Good Year and three complete sets of tires, plus
another dozen drag slicks. The box was marked $20, he said
don’t go by what on the box, he went over the tires and
pointed out the same qualities why I wanted them. He said I
could have them for $10.
Then the same vendor had a ’65 El Camino “GEARHUSTLER” built-up missing bumpers, a grill and engine…but
it did have the chrome bezels around the tail lights. Dave
Wood has been looking for a set of these bezels for years
now to complete his Hollywood Knights El Camino. I was
happy to finally find a set for him… almost as much as he
was. I picked up the El Camino for $4 and decided to build a
custom with the left over custom parts from the ’65 wagon
and ’65 El Camino parts that I had. I swapped the bezels for
the custom parts Dave had.
building experience I didn’t have back then. I loved the
wheels on this kit, and been looking for one for years.
Steve picked up a bunch of truck built-up and Tom Geiger
smiled ear to ear when he picked up a vintage Hubley or
Airfix Renault Dauphine kit. I can’t wait to see what he does
with it.
Jersey Shore Model Car Club members in attendance in
addition to Steve and I were, Bob Doebley, Dave Coppolino,
Tom Geiger, Bill Hewett, and John White. Congratulations to
John White, for his First Place award in Factory Stock and Bill
Hewett for his First Place win in Heavy Commercial
It was good seeing and talking to other builders from New
York, Maryland, Pennsylvania and New Jersey that you
briefly see throughout the year. There were a few members of
the LIARS club that made the long ride from Long Island New
York…dedication to the hobby. I was able to catch up with old
and real old friends from other clubs that I haven’t seen in a
while
Like I said, it seemed that I spent most of the show talking to
friends and looking for bargains. I didn’t take any pictures of
models other that the ’57 Ford Ranchero I saw in the parking
lot. As a matter of fact, despite looking for them, I don’t recall
seeing any Gilbertsville show pics on any FOTKI page. I did
see a Video on Youtube with some of the models, mostly
trucks. Check it out at
www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSnkYWN9D2M
After the show, Steve and I wanted to enjoy a typical
Pennsylvania Dutch family style meal so we headed right to
Yacco's for some hot dogs, fries and a Coke. As usual we all
enjoyed the courteous, fast and friendly service at Yacco’s.
On the way home we also stopped at WAWA for good cup of
coffee for the ride home.
I also picked up pieces of a built up ’72 GMC Jimmy with a
’70 Chevy grill / bumper and short roof for $5, A few days
later Steve and I cast the ’70 bumper/ grill for a few other
Chevy Pickup truck projects on the bench and down the road.
I also picked up a really nice ’60 Falcon Ranchero built-up of
the Ohio George Eliminator kit for only $10. I was going to
make a gas station service truck out of it but it is so nice I
think I will clean it up a little, tweak the wheels and throw on a
set of plates. It was just too nice to mess with. I also picked
up a bunch of bagged built-ups for $3 each, like a Monogram
Chaparral, Revell Charger Funny Car, Aurora Drop-out Bus
and Aurora Chaparral.
I also picked up a HOLY GRAIL of sorts, a sealed Palmer ’40
Ford Sedan for only $10. It’s not your typical Palmer model,
it’s more like a 1/32 version of a vintage AMT ’39 / ’40 Ford
Sedan. I built three when I was a kid, none of which survived.
I want to build this one right with the added 45 years of model
Like I said last year and the year before, and the year before
that…for you guys that missed Gilbertsville this year, you
missed a lot of great models and an even greater show. But
on the other hand, if you don’t go there will be more bargains
in the vendor’s room for me.
