If Randy is referring to me as "the poster" mentioned above, let me set the record straight. This is quoted verbatim from the opening post of the thread I started entitled He-111 Oversized Crosses -- BE WARNED:

"The model is beautiful... the best detail I have seen from FM. The remainder of the decals are pad printed and nicely applied. But the wing crosses will never do."

For my part, the phrase "utter crap" overstates my feelings of the model.

My mistake Brent I should have looked it up and quoted you verbatum from your e-mail to me where you stated it was a "poor poor example" of an HE-111. I will be more consistant in not paraphrasing in the future. My apologies.

That says it all right there for me, Pappy!

I have several FM models....No P-51s though, and never will unless they do a major "makeover". They are just nothing more than caricatures of what to many was the quintessential fighter of its time. It deserves way better treatment than what FM has been giving it.

Just friendly bantering JP. We all have the right to set the record straight. Right? Apology accepted Randy.

"Caricatures" and "quintessential" in one sentence - I'm impressed Skunky .It will ameliorate your standing on this forum though .
