UGH, doing my taxes tonight and didn’t realize Armand replied on list. I have deleted my reply from the group online, apologies for the oops. Better eat quickly because the food is jail is meh.

Randy, I have not checked with Rapido. I thought that perhaps something so obvious would have already been discussed here, and I had missed it. Assuming that turns out to be true, based on yours and

I agree with Pierre except on one thing. WHY PRIME? Primer hides detail. I've been painting brass for over fifty years, painted my first piece with fellow STMFC member Andy Miller's air brush at the

The data about the photo that Bob pointed out says 1946 or 1947. I wondered about the use of the UCR gon in log service. It probably came from the Salt Lake City area to the smelter in Tacoma with
