By JOVe! Grummann's toothy Mohawk- update #4, 12/16/2021

[chukw]

Well it's been a looong time! I must be getting old, but I'd totally forgotten about SMA- my bookmark stopped working and I guess I thought it was kaput. A lot's happened in the last couple of years, including quadruple bypass surgery for yours truly -that back in June 2020. It was successful- hurray- but knocked me for loop. I've had memory issues since, although things are getting better. I hope I can be forgiven for disappearing. In the mean time I've finished the MiG LanceR, built a Do 215 B-5 for Tamiya Magazine that hasn't been published (yet), and started this Roden 1/48 JOV 1-A Mohawk- the early, armed version. It's been put up in several places so you may have seen. Let me know if I should post more- cheers!

The site did go offline for a bit . I don't remember how long but maybe a year + ?
Scott transferred ownership and it was resurrected using his last backup of the data -- which was a few months prior to the vanishing so some content was lost .

Nice work on this !

I'm back at last. Been taking a lot of steroidal eye drops and have had a good deal of improvement, There's more therapies to come- but here's what I've managed to get done at the bench in the past several months. Cheers!
