Default Elefant by Hooben

Gentlemen, the Elefants arrived in warehouse late Thursday. Joey will inspect each kit and record the serial numbers. Kits will be shipped out in sequence of the reservation. More will arrive in 4 weeks. Looks to be a REALLY nice kit. I included the extra cost aluminium main gun barrel in all my kits. Joey says the plastics and metal castings are first rate. All but one of this order has been sold and paid for, and the one is on hold for another day. Needless to say, I don't get one in this batch. Mine will be in the next batch...I hope.

I think he should drive down to Luray and hand deliver it. No reason why he can't.

And gentlemen and fellow tankers, I have one kit to sell. Someone canceled, so this one Elefant kit will be the last until late June.

Hooben raised their price a tad, so I had to raise mine too. Still and all, the optional metal barrel included in all my kits is free.

Question: Viper54...Hey!PCOMM why did you change your screen name?

Answer, a returning service member friend gave me his unit challenge coin and a Starbucks Coffee Mug from "Kuwait City".

Pretty cool gifts.

And as explained here, about a year ago, the friend's duties were "C4ISTAR".

What does that stand for?

Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Information/Intelligence, Surveillance, Targeting Acquisition and Reconnaissance.

I liked the military term and that term seemed to work better than Pcomm1 for rc model tank building blogging.

Pcomm1 can be Information Services lingo and or means PLANNING COMMITTEE CONTACT INFORMATION in the corporate world.

New question: And why do you use Viper54, is that a dive bar you hang at; or your favorite car or a given name and age?

Pcomm, why so modest, the real reason why the name change was surely because of your ban for racist derogatory remarks to as many members as possible regardless of race creed or country not least your fellow US Kameraden , this really isn’t like you to change history in your revisionist fashion. I look forward to your build thread it will be interesting to say the least.

Just received kit instructions today from ETO, are they the latest edition?

And that last quote was for rivet rivet, MI super boy.

TheOprah quote was to help put things into perspective for the sophomoric MI super boy and of course rivet rivet too.



All the best and nice avatar super boy.

Last Elefant is sold. More are coming by the end of June on the next production run. Maybe I'll get mine then.

Pcomm, your tablets have run out again you could do with a re-stock to help calm your crass nature.
Do you believe all Europeans are Nazis, I also have to inform your biased mind that I’m not really classed as a European though I’m more than happy to live amongst them, another 2 points you are wrong about, I’m rather pleased that I didn’t attend the same collage that you and your fellow students Hitler, Himmler, Stalin, Polpot and Gadhafi attended I don’t think we need ask what you studied
