  Yes, that's Mr Hunt, with his Saturn that has one of his famous bronze colored paint jobs on it.
  Type at you later,

Thanks for the Identification, when it was sent to me, I wasn't even going to guess who it was, however I should have known.

Norm Faith sent me another one!
I see people my age out there climbing mountains and zip lining and here I am feeling good about myself because I got my leg through my underwear without losing my balance

This good natured ribbing went on for years, with Billy finally asking if I had a 55 gallon drum of that paint. So, fast forward to 1992 when I built and finished the first of my Saturn models and used even more of the bronze (actually copper) color in the scheme than I had with the Genesis models. Around that time we bought our first of three Golden Retrievers, and I called Billy to rib him a bit. I said on the phone, "Guess what Billy, I even have a bronze dog!" To which Billy instantly retorted, "Bob, you've had a lot of bronze dogs." And with that comment I heard a click at the other end of the line as he hung up his phone. There was no recovering from that response, and so that Saturn became known forevermore as the "Bronze Dog." And, as Paul Harvey would say, "That's the rest of the story."   

Later - Bob

Hello Bob As a young guy in New Zealand reading the library copies of Engish Aeromodeller magazine I thought all your Genesis models were blue, white and red with all the black and white photos unless you got a cover picture in colour. Anyway when I built my Genesis back in the 80's I did mine all black like the NZ national colour, not a good scheme and not a good rendition of your model sorry.
Anyway always like hearing your amusing history of stunt flying.


Regards Gerald
