I wish to all of you and yours a Merry christmas and a Happy New Year, with plenty of models, Joy and Health !!!

Well, mates, that's done. We're 1001 of us. That makes a pretty good number of foolish collectors !!!

Some of us can remember the first days of this page, thanks to Matt Whisenant and two of his friends.

In these days of incertain future and violence, it makes me good to share with all of you our passions for models and History.

Keep on collecting, and back soon on this screen !!!

Take care all!!!

Hello, mates !!

My next post in historical articles will be dedicated to the EC 2/30 "Normandie-Niemen" Free French Air Force fighter squadron.

This squadron was the only allied force to fight beside Russian air forces against the Nazi armies during WWII.

The story of EC 2/30 is still perpetuated in Russia and France until now as a friendship sign between the two countries.

I'M HOME AT LAST, MATES !!!

Kind regards
