Bungee jumping was introduced in 1979. Elastic shock/bungee cords (same thing) were developed in the 1940s. Elastic shock cords were used by the U.S. military since at least 1950. Notice the first year indicated in Table 30, Elastic Shock Cord Age Markings, which is found in TM 55-405-7, Army Aviation Maintenance Engineering Manual Shop Practices, August 1966.

That's different.

You just had to, didn't you?

Not sticking M-80s in exhaust pipes was a strict rule. Some people just don't have a sense of humor. Also, not laughing at mom when she stood on a chair (she was 4'10" tall ) to smack the cra_p out of us. It was almost impossible to hide a smirk. It didn't hurt; but, it was like Granny Clampett smacking Jethro around. Giggling would only piss her off even more.

Right. As if the average slug reading and responding to these ads would even know about that. Most people have to get on their iC_rap phone to call for road service to do something simple like changing a flat.

The ones who do are the same rocket scientists who always fall for the old "Say, can you give me two tens for a five?" routine.

P.T. Barnum was right.

Are you aware of the stress that will be placed on the anchor points if you use elastic string? Those anchor points will have to be relatively small. Then, as was previously pointed out, you'll need to secure the rear edge of the hood to prevent it popping up. Use appropriately sized and painted detailing/ignition wire.

Sorry, I only had fourteen mugs of coffee when I wrote that. I'm ten behind schedule.

Actually, military AFV modelers, me included, prefer resin or 3D printed wheels and tires for the same reasons that car modelers complain about. That's why there are so many aftermarket companies producing them.

Elon Musk's inspiration. He was Fred.

Norman Bates was ahead of the times.

It's a bungee/shock cord.

It comes equipped with a driver side periscope mounted in the roof.

I was stuck on the phone with a Microsoft customer service rep named "Mary Murphy". Yeah. Right. I asked "Mary" if she liked corned beef and cabbage. CLICK! m

Plastic spoons aren't a good test medium because, although they're made from polystyrene, their composition is chemically different from what kit manufacturers use. You will learn which paints and primers are compatible with plastic spoons; but, not for the various types of styrene kits are molded from. Use runners from parts trees from a specific kit instead.

This kit is a OCD fanatic's dream. Virtually every stinkin' interior detail found under the actual aircraft's skin is modeled. This is a bargain for 600 bucks. The same goes for HpH Models' 1/48 B-52H Stratofortress. It's worth every penny of its $743 USD price tag

If it ain't broke, why the hell try to fix it? The new minimalist category listing system sucks. The momos even got rid of military sub-listings. I've been using Vintage Model Kits to search for kits on ebay for years. I can find exactly what I want with it.

More like rats in a maze. Lessee which way they'll go, Perfesser.

Ah, just like recycling centers.

Good work, Rich. Dropping the rear improves the look.

Not to mention the heated discussions regarding the correct shade of flat clearcoat to impart the exact representation of flat finish that will be buffed out to a perfect semigloss sheen.

You can add Tiger I's and Pz IV's to that list. I'm surprised that a kit representing an Early/Mid/Late production Tiger I completed on April 23, 1944 at 4:47:14 P.M. with realistically detailed, 74 piece PE beverage stains on the engine hatch representing the beer that Udo Fartfinger, Lehrling Schraubertechniker 3. Klasse. spilled when he kicked over a bottle of flat Nörten Hardenberger Bock. ,

There are more '57 Chevy kits available than the actual number of this particular model which were produced by General Motors. With relatively few exceptions, there's nothing that makes the majority stand out in the crowd.

They do, just not in the U.S. market.
