I knew the F-16XLs would elicit that kind of response.  ;D

They were the result of exhaustive negotiations, numerous corporate meetings, endless journeys back and forth between our representatives, and finally resulted in a luncheon meeting over a cheese toastie and cup of decaf.  ;D

I wonder if The Orange Man has that in his "The Art of the Deal" book?......

If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Two deliveries today.
First one something that had sold out at Expo.  The 1992 Bathurst winning car.  Driven by Skaife and Richards this is the infamous "pack of arseholes" car.
About time they kitted it.  The Winfield logos missing from the box art are treated like swastikas and broken up on the transfer sheet (god forbid a child should look at them and immediately develop a pack a day habit).

And this.  I wanted a Quad .50 mount but had trouble finding one,  This is only $4 more than the Dynamo (ex Dragon) kit and I get a truck as well.  OK, so I don't get the gun trailer but I'd probly be mounting the gun on a vehicle anyway and so wouldn't use it.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.
