Congratulations, Crankpin. You have an enviable classic pattern inventory now.

I tried to buy back a Phoenix 8 that I started working on in 1982. The owner said he was interested, but hasn't made any further moves to complete the transaction. So, I'm going to focus on the models that I have for now and maybe buy a new Phoenix 8 kit when that feller over in the Middle East returns in a few months and begins kit production again. I just want it for its looks. I've always wanted to do up a Phoenix 8 in ME-262 like colors and markings. Of course, the Phoenix doesn't have to be an 8. Other numbers would be okay too.

Okay on you cornering all of the NIB Rhom-Air landing gear.
