I HAVE BUILT THE MONITOR AND IT IS A VERY NICE KIT. MATERIALS ARE MOSTLY WOOD, PLASTIC, AND PHOTO ETCH. I HAVE THE VIRGINIA, BUT HAVEN'T BUILT IT YET. I CAN'T OFFER AN OPINION OF THE KIT, BUT IF IT'S AS GOOD AS THE MONITOR, I'LL BE QUITE PLEASED. DAVID IN DIXIE ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2) From "F J Hueso" Subject Another (sadly) day to remember May I dare to beg a pray from my fellow smmlmates on behalf of those 190-plus people savagely murdered today here in Spain Javier ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3) From Sell4853@aol.com Subject Reference www site for modelers SMML'ers If you have not seen it already the following site is extremely interesting with many wartime photographs which model makers I think will find of benefit. Well worth having a look through as it gives vast amount of information as well as the pictures, etc. so look at...... www.world-war.co.uk All the best Norman SELLS Tenterden Kent.

I am working on a WEM 350 scale PT-34. I painted her in the unofficial very dark green suggested by the instructions. I was wondering if she might have displayed any hull numbers? Thanks, John Collins Franklin, TN, USA ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5) From Gary Subject Moquitocon Was at MosquitoCon this weekend and must say it was an excellent event. There were quite a few ship models on the tables. Well done guys. Gary Schurr ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6) From Steve Singlar Subject Re Disposition of USS Hoga Original message >> Advance word out of NAVSEA indicates that the tugboat USS Hoga, a Dec. 7 survivor, has been awarded to the President Clinton Library in Little Rock, Arkansas, rather than the Pearl Harbor group in Hawaii. It still must be approved by Congress, however. << What the heck is the connection between Pearl Harbor and Bill Clinton? I now he was blamed for a lot, but I just don't see the connection. Could some politics be involved?
