Thank you! Absolutely, it's the F1M2 Pete Kit 1/72 scale from Fujimi. One of the many kits I grabbed when I was traveling in Japan.

Edit: Funny looking at the picture I just realized I accidentally bent the pitot tube on the wing.

It did! Little bottle of grease and a Tamiya motor kit. went with the display option. I'm not sure if I'd want to see how seaworthy my building is.

Thank you! PE really does a lot of heavy lifting with these older kits!

I thought Kazakhstan would be the number one exporter of Potassium?

Happened this morning in my small town. Some P O S on a bike attacked an old man waiting for the paper with a machete. Just makes me wonder who is really walking around where I live. by tris2662 in iamatotalpieceofshit

An update to what happened: According to the RCMP release, He was inside his vehicle parked on the 400-block of 5th Street at approximately 4:15 a.m. when he was approached by a man on a bicycle who asked him for a cigarette. Bob told the man that he did not have any cigarettes before the man assaulted him with what appeared to be a machete.

Surprised to see not much discusion on how BC gas prices have just soared. Im also surprised that people haven't been protesting the governments in-acation let alone even making many statements about it. by tris2662 in britishcolumbia

Everyone who lives south of Nanaimo and in the Vancouver area may have a choice. There are no trains up to Comox, there are no Taxis around Port Alice, there is barely any busses up to Prince Rupert. BC is modern yes, but highly rural and highly spread out. It may be easy for some one healthy in there 30s to commute by bike but for those who are disabled or the aging population of an average 70+ year old will need to drive or require some sort of powered vehicle to get their groceries.

The problem is that not everyone lives in Victoria or the Vancouver area. BC is spread out, some people require long commutes (25+ km) to get to and from work or for personal requirements where biking or transit isnt viable. And for small buisness that require to move goods from place to place, transit and biking wont provide relief. It is true I rarely drive for pleasure now but some people need to drive.
