Ladies and Gentlemen

Jim Fainges is my father and I have all the discs of his latest stuff -
He isn't really caring about instructions and such - Because as John
says - He builds for his own enjoyment 

I will try and put some models up - When I get that infamous "Round
Tuit" but I will need a hosting site

Dad has done a lot of the RAAF (Royal Australian Air Force) early
aircraft and aircraft that interest him and other stuff that interests
him

I will try and get siome stuff up soon

PS - I live 2000 kms away from my father - So I don't see him regularly
- But will be in the next few weeks - I will see if I can grab his
Latest stuff

Thanks all for the good words.

Siu--yes the truck is part of the model. Unfortunately most of Jim's
models, including this one, are just not available. Quite some time
ago I did some test builds for him on some English village models, and
he very generously gave me some of the airplanes also. I suspect that
Jim designs them for his own enjoyment, builds one off, then loses
interest. Mistakes that show up in the build he probably works around,
but doesn't bother to alter the design. There are also no instructions
or diagrams, though this is not true for the models on the CD
available from Fiddlers Green. Those models are fully developed and
have instructions.

Jim still has many airplane models that are not available, and I do
not have either. I know of more than fifty, many of which are very
interesting and little represented in the model world. I guess mostly
we can wish!

John
