Wonderfest! Demos and schedule look great. *************************************** MAILBAG Hey guys. I've been playing catch up with my podcast listening. I always enjoy your review of what's coming out in the model world. Both for the information and the back and forth comments. Keep it up! What's on my bench: Tamiya P-38 with way too much aftermarket. Revell SR-71a for when I need a break from the P-38 nightmare I created What I'm reading: I just finished the Geddy Lee book, much like Brent did. I've been a Rush fan since my first Rush purchase in 1976. I was lucky enough to see Geddy earlier this year on his book tour. The date of the event coincided with Holocaust Remembrance Day so he spent some extra time talking on that subject. A great evening that was. Dust - this is the third book in the Silo series. They made the TV series after the first book. The next season will start looking at book 2, Shift. The Cactus Air Force: Air War over Guadalcanal - A good read. Nothing else has ever held a candle to Neptune's Inferno, but still very enjoyable. Be well everyone and keep building! Bob Bair - Charlotte, NC From Martin Hulst: Recommended Frans G. Bengtsson The Long Ships, historical Viking fiction. We want to hear from you!
