When the young Director of R&D
started a few planes down in the Basement, no one at BAD Productions suspected
that our own version of a Cold War arms race would start. But soon, I
would take up the challenge (read mocking abuse) of some of the guys
in CAMS... there was no way an 8 year old would out-build me... but then the
President himself took over the comfy chair and brought forth.... "the
kit".
Ben started this kit back in 2004
as part of the make 'n take at WellCoME in Guelph... it went back in the box as
Gundams & Star Wars & NASCAR took centre stage. Now, with the younger
brother setting the pace, Ben took up the challenge (on the day before the
Lincoln ME show) and called me at work with a dozen questions on how to make
these darn decals dry faster!

Between 3 PM & 10:30 PM on
Friday, Ben finished the last layers using SWMBO's hairdryer & ALL my
Microsol !
The wonderful folks with
Central Maine Modelers in Lincoln, Maine, awarded a 3rd to Ben's efforts on
February 3, 2007. Our fearless President assures me that his secret
santa antique fire engine will be complete in time for his brothers
birthday & the CAMS show in April....
After years on the
road to CAPCON, SEMMEX, BUFFCON, CAMS, WellCoME, ME, NY, MI, Ontario & New
Brunswick, this is Ben's 1st submission to ARC .
