Flew a civilian jetliner from NC to maine to germany then to , Kuwait days in Kuwait we flew into Iraq on a C-17 the most uncomfotable flight I have ever been on hope I never have to do that again.

Johnny,

If I send something to you, will it make it to you? What's the chance it will get picked through, stolen, etc. Tell me something I can buy here and send to you that will make it to you.

Stay safe.

Re: Hey Next time I post ill be in Iraq!
 

If you send something it will get to me no one will get to it, Its the Us Mail you have to put on a customs decleration but be vauge in the description so if someone does want to steal it its less likely, I have never had anything stolen since I have been here.


Right now what I would like is to get back into plastic models but I am finding it hard to get paint, It seems that it is hazmat I found that acrylics can be sent so im looking for those made by testors model master but im still woking on finding a place that isnt to expensive for the paints.

Re: Hey Next time I post ill be in Iraq!
 

Johnny, Thanks for the awesome job on the beast #354 & the job you do for our country! For those of you that don't know I have Johnny's old daily driver. He took it completly apart. I mean full engine rebuild & powder coated, body disassembled, doors off, all the glass off the the body & out of the doors, bumpers off, interior completely taken out including the dash. I have never seen anyone do this to a C4 & I have been @ this for 35 years. I guess they are not throw away cars liked we once coined them. He returned #354 to stock & it is just beautiful. Full body on restoration. Stay safe & please stay in touch. Lou

Re: Hey Next time I post ill be in Iraq!
