Re: Oh, the Horror!!

My deepest sympathies! That really sucks.
 

Indecision is the key to flexibilty.
Flexibility is the key to airpower.
Indecision is therefore the key to Airpower.

Re: Oh, the Horror!!

Thanks for all the positive feedback guys!! A bottle of SuperGlue is on the shopping list for tonight. Most of the damage appears to be fixable, except for the Cripes A' Mighty F-16. It appears that the missile rail on the wingtip was snapped off. You know something funny? My first two diecast I ever purchased -- the P-38 and P-40 from Specialty Casting (the "hollow wings" cheapies) survived the carnage. That leads me to develop the following corallary to Murphy's Law...

....The amount of damage able to be done to a diecast airplane during dusting is directly proportional to its cost or its rarity.

By the way -- does anyone have any spare black plastic plugs for the Corgi 1/144 stands?

Is it this one??? If so, then yes, I have some spare. PM me with your address and I'll send it out.
