You can't outrun Death forever.
But you can make the Bastard work for it.

I looked at buying this but at $160 US plus shipping I went with Execuform Vacuform kit.

I am giving up listing them. They all end up on the shelf of procrastination anyways.

It's a kit I've been wanting for quite a while, but like Carl, I thought I would go with the Execuform kit. Unfortunately, I left it too late and Mike retired before I could manage to buy one.

Where (and/or when) did you get your one Carl ?

I bought it about 5 years ago from the now out-of-the-business of David Cooper (coopersmodels.com).

Ask and you shall receive Greg. This is the art work of Karl W.J. Mesojednik. He used to have a websites called Purpleglen and Karlsaircraftart but they are now both defunct.

You can view some his artwork (not all of it) here:

I did, but it got returned with a nice note saying "Thanks but no thanks.  I have seen the light and now only do 1/48 aircraft"

Not sure where to post but since I was the last person to post some of Karl Mesojednik's drawings, his wife noted on Facebook that Karl passed away on February 2nd.
