That's a nice area. I used to take dance lessons at the Arthur Murray Studio at the High Street Kensington address. I think they have moved to Baker Street now. I had to give it up as I would be out too late and got back to the base after midnight. The amount of sleep I got on the train on the way back didn't ever seem to be enough. It started to affect my ability to stay awake at work <chuckle>. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. Are you working on a model currently? I'm working on the 1/48 F-4E Phantom II by Italeri. It's a bit of a challenge with camouflage paint scheme on the outside. (Kit No. 2770) I have to use a pencil to trace the lines of separation between the colors by following the pictures in the instructions. While I was at Mildenhall in '76 or '77, I built the 1/48 B-17G Flying Fortress by Monogram. Lots of internal color but only three on the outside, Olive Drab on top and a shade of gray on the bottom, some red on the tail area and on the main wing tips. It was the Chow Hound. It took me a while, but I sure enjoyed it. I brought it back with me on the plane and it went to my paternal grandmother in 1979.

[QUOTE="Cold War USAF guy, post: 240780, member: 20552"] That's a nice area. I used to take dance lessons at the Arthur Murray Studio at the High Street Kensington address. I think they have moved to Baker Street now. I had to give it up as I would be out too late and got back to the base after midnight. The amount of sleep I got on the train on the way back didn't ever seem to be enough. It started to affect my ability to stay awake at work <chuckle>. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. Are you working on a model currently? I'm working on the 1/48 F-4E Phantom II by Italeri. It's a bit of a challenge with camouflage paint scheme on the outside. (Kit No. 2770) I have to use a pencil to trace the lines of separation between the colors by following the pictures in the instructions. While I was at Mildenhall in '76 or '77, I built the 1/48 B-17G Flying Fortress by Monogram. Lots of internal color but only three on the outside, Olive Drab on top and a shade of gray on the bottom, some red on the tail area and on the main wing tips. It was the Chow Hound.
