There was a place off base in Okinawa (outside Kadena AB) that ran whiskey and coke specials (3 for $1.50)..... talk about horrible whiskey.... tasted more like rum and coke.I've got rum and cke. One of the other teachers gave Annie a recycled funny gift, the cheapest little plastic bottle of rum, and a bottle of coke. Next one will have to be cut with good stuff so it only tastes Haff bad!
Still a ways off Vic, but I thought I'd mention it before you got there. The Hobbycraft P-36 windscreen (and for that matter the early P-40) is molded with braces making for a 3 pane windscreen. This is incorrect for the P-36 and model of Hawk you're building as well as the early P-40's like the one I have in this GB. The wind screen was one piece of curved Plexiglas and there were brace rods inside the Plexiglas that went from the last fuselage frame before the cockpit opening to a horizontal bar at the top of the windscreen. These bars are many times mistaken for the separation between panes. I found that my not painting the lines on the plastic part it gives a good impression of the bars behind the glass
