I think the reason we cannot get them is that long promised new range. The main venders for PSC are in Massachusetts and Michigan and both have been out of stock for three years maybe more. I check in with them every couple of months but nothing new or even old yet.
I did build a PSC Firefly back some years ago. Thought it was a nice kit.

I will keep it in mind Elwood, maybe see if one of my Nephews wants to come too. I do have a Nephew who lives in Newbury which is close enough. Trouble with him is he works away a lot. Ian Well now my girlfriend is talking of flying to England and walking Hadrians Wall or another Roman road. We’ve been watching program on Roman Roads in Britain. Of course I don’t even have a passport, need to deal with that but the thought is intriguing. This would be a year, probably two off tho. If its done. My ancestors were from England, probably run out of there, late 1700’s I believe. What neck of the woods there do you reside?

Elwood, I am from and live in Widnes, if you we back to the 9th century and visited my area then you would be the Danish controlled part of the country, called Danelaw. Widnes was built around a crossing point across the River Mersey which at one time had three bridges;
Across the river Mersey from us is Runcorn which boasts a Norman castle which was destroyed by Oliver Cromwell linkYou can get to Chester in about 30 minutes by car and visit the famous walls link which was first started by the Romans and fortified by William the Conqueror. Chester was a major Roman military town and port.

Fascinating Ian. I am going to get off this WWII thread as I feel may be a few posts coming. I will start thread in General Discussion.

Here is a good shot of the US 1st Armoured division training in the states circa 1941. I took it with my phone out a book called British and American Tanks of WW2 by Peter Chamberlain and Chris Ellis, I have tried to find a copy on the net but with out success.
