    Looks like George the transcriber was asleep at the transcription machine, Frank. Those last 20 words are a tossed salad. "Say over all past 'when finished' - over..."

    Tom,
    What's a matter wich ya? Makes perfect sense to me. In reality I was sober but I think my "hunt and peck" finger was drunk. I may do the same in this response as yesterday I had a complete right shoulder replacement and in my now narcotic stupor heaven knows what will come out. What I meant to say is the stripes will be as you said and I wish someone would do a very good B-26 using today's technology.

    Frank, all looks good from here, as for a decent kit of her now well !
    The only kit of it I built was the old Airfix version years ago.
    Look forward to seeing done.
    Simon.

    Well after a period of time, unable to do any modeling or typing (without George the transcriber being asleep) I am trying to finish the B-26. I am also working on the C-47 and a P-38 to see if I can complete those. My doctor thought he would like to do a bit of modeling on my shoulder and it is only partially back to full use. I have quite a bit of therapy left to do. Amazing what is done today to heal a person and make them bionic. I have had very little pain except for the third day when the drugs wore off and aside from a bit when I move it as I should not, there is none. I will stick to plastic models and leave the complicated sawing, pounding, screwing, and gluing to my doctor.
