Pan Am, China Clipper II |
A really beautiful
model, probably the best Big Bird yet. An excellent model design,
top quality assembly, and romantic name make this a real winner.
Nose gear. Had a scare when, opening
the plastic bag holding the nose gear, I dropped the gear on the floor.
Of course, I couldn't find it, and imagined it being stuck between
the treads of my tenny-runners; or crushed under the wheels of my
chair; or picked up by the puppy, who has an affininty for little
plastic parts, which usually end up full of little toothy holes. Thankfully,
the gear was found safe. Sometimes I think it would be less stressful
if I took up live-grenade juggling as a hobby!
