Thank you for your reply Yes I will take a stab at it Ever scince Abe Taubman merged his modeling plans with Lackawanna the Edward weswesser plans have been deleted from the website. i will try hard to see where I can get them I will get back with you on the fly on this, His plans are exlent for card model builders you have to construct your own method of the build different then from kits but the principle is the same :D:D:D:D
