Hello and welcome back again.

Today I have a rather nice and slightly bigger update. Erich Blaickner is here again with another of his aircraft. This time he presents us a classic US Navy fighter, the Crusader F-8E. I hope you like this colorful CAG bird as much as I do.

I have been busy as well. During the last days I fought some battle with a kit which turnedout to be a real nightmare. Almost all parts were useless and finally I used only 9 parts from the kit. All the rest had to be scratchbuild. The only good thing about this was the fact that this kit was rather small, how small? TINY, thats the reason why I call this eggbeater: Teeny Weeny. Have fun with my smallest model so far!

Additional I will post part VIII of Otmar Hadaiers travelreport of the tankmuseum of Saumur.

The year 2008 is coming to an end and I would like to say thank you very much to all of you for visiting my website. In the next few days we will have some major changes here, which I really hope that you will like just as much as I do. I will let you know as soon as I will start to make those changes what it is all about. My book about the USS Sangamon is finally at the printing company and I'm awaiting the first batch any day. Assoon as I receive them, I will open the webshop on this website and I will finally be able to take any orders.

Most of all I would like to wish you all a happy and very successful new year 2009!

Keep on modeling and I hope to see you all again. René Hieronymus
