  5. Looking at he pics (the last ones are already a great improvement as far as I feel it), maybe the bulged tailbase could be slightly less rounded i.e. somewhat more squared towards the top and a little bit more slender towards the end . This is in fact pure "whining" but it is a matter of feeling i.e.perception: small details like this CAN make a difference in the total impression of what is otherwise an absolutely AWESOME :good: model !!!

  11. On Christmas Day 1941 the RNN submarine Hr. MS K XVI was sunk in the South Chinese Sea with the loss of all 36 crewmembers. Mrs Katja Boonstra, daughter of of one of the crew has led several expeditions in 2003 and 2004 in order to locate the wreck, but they were unsuccesfull. In the process she got in touch a couple of years ago with the son of the commanding officer of the Japanes sub that torpedoed the K XVI. They became good friends and they developed a lot of activities since then. They went to Ireland and got in contact with the commander of the British sumarine that torpedoed the Japanese sub later in the war and he joined them. Together they gave lectures and presentations all over the world on the subject of war and peace and former enemies. Today, after almost 70 years, the wreck of K XVI was found....... The circle is closed now, the members of 36 families now know where their loved ones are and the world has another seamans grave ..... Rest in peace

    .... another 6 man who died for our freedom...... (they almost made it to the end of the war..........) A mere 3 weeks before the German capitulation in Holland, Halifax NA347, 298 Sq. (RAF Tarant Rushton) was shot down by Flak on April 12th 1945 on a weapondropping mission for the Dutch resistance. Crash site in the dunes near Vogelzang, was there this morning for deer spotting.

    Scooters.

    Great !!! Saw the Scooter only once in the air: demo of an Australian (!)

Great impressive little thing !! Houdoe, Derk
