Great news!

ATLANTIS now owns the 1:24 scale Monogram Red Baron tooling and will roll it out (sans the little Fokker tri-plane for this reissue) - this coming November - hopefully in time for Christmas gifts!

Shown is Kelly’s nicely done tweaking of my original art on the Monogram BIG Red Baron kit - which the Atlantis guys wanted to use. Yes, the illustration is from my original Monogram Models BIG Red Baron box top - the good folks at ATLANTIS wanted to use it for their re-release of the 1:24 scale kit - and I agreed, as this is a better painting. 

It is scheduled for shipping this coming November - hopefully in time for Christmas gift shopping!  

Also, coming early next year will be reissues of the SNAP-TITE  (no-glue) TD/industrial vehicles: Boss Bulldozer, Scream'n Skip shovel, Extreme Shovel, Mountain Mover - and Hemi-Semi.

Stay tuned for more updates!

BONNEVILLE and the BLUE FLAME: Recently made the trip to Bonneville to attend the 40th anniversary celebration and dinner party honoring the October 23, 1970 running of the rocket powered LSR vehicle "BLUE FLAME" - driven by the late Gary Gabelich - to a World Land Speed record of: 622.407 MPH in the 'flying mile'; and 630.388 for the flying kilometer record. Those record speeds lasted for more than a decade.

A very well-done slide show was presented by Dick Keller, with his (then) partner at Reaction Dynamics - Pete Farnsworth, adding many interesting aspects and details about the building of the BLUE FLAME.

I took along with me, my model of the AMERICAN WAY LSR vehicle - for some pictures of it ON THE SALT! It drew quite a crowd, with many wanting to have their pictures taken with it. Everyone said they'd like to see it FULL SIZE - and making LSR runs. Me too!

As ALWAYS, THANK YOU for all the letters and e mail with your GREAT stories of your childhood modeling escapades! I DO read them all - and I WILL reply - (though sometimes it takes some time to do that).

Kind regards,
