Hey Larry,
I for one, don't think it was a waste of time at all. It's interesting to at least read about how a model airplane kit comes into being. How about some fotos? I think what Black Hawk is doing is not only an important project for c/l modeling in general, it's virtually unheard of from a business standpoint. Who else but some dedicated model airplane nuts produce a kit with no guaranteed return on investment? Bravo, and Thank You.
Back in the early sixties, our model airplane club (Pelicans MAC) got to tour the Carl Goldberg plant when it was located in Chicago. It was on a Sunday when the plant was shut down. What a treat!
Regards,
