that's an 'art' I do not have talent for. I wish I did.
When I was a kid many of the kids I grew up with put together models... mostly WWII aircraft, (a passion of mine).. and they were beautiful. I couldn't do it... couldn't get the hang of the 'glue'... soon as I opened the tube it was everywhere.. and not just the model itself... the walls, the table, the floor, my hands for the next month or so... just can't do it.
While I'm at this... had a friend who used to collect WWII and I, aircraft prints then get them signed by pilots who actually flew them... sometimes the specific plane in the print matching the pilot. He was a WWII Vet but not a pilot... he was a mechanic. His collection was sublime. I even helped him once... getting Chuck Yeager, (who I knew at the time), to sign one of his prints.
I lost track of him many years ago.. then heard he had passed away a few years ago.... I only hope that whomever inherited those prints appreciates their value... and I don't mean $. - JamesJM
