I received a prompt, friendly & professional response from JJD and wanted to share an excerpt of it with you… “I have a few questions. Has the metal warped? where its buckled can it be pushed back down into place? Does the old glue come off? or leave a texture? My recommendations are that...

Outstanding and I love the historical connection with the 506th PIR E Company. Awesome!

Thanks Mark & Howard!! I just emailed JJD to get there take on repairs before I launch into the point of no return. I picked up some Loctite glue as well as DAP RAPID FUSE after some research. Pictured below for reference. Will follow up with a SITREP. Thank you both for the suggestions. Best...

Mike, I forgot all about the Hellcat! I really would love to see a Dauntless too. Thanks for the reminder. ~Marc

That is really messed up and is fitting for some type of a horror movie. Good thing the “Homeowner Demon” was not home!

Outstanding display Mike. Display disruption! Love it and it was in full order for the temporary decommissioning. Everything points to failure of the adhesive as the environment is spot on. Back to researching adhesives! Thanks.

Extremely limited in the War Room with no direct light. Thanks Steve, I appreciate it.

Thanks Robin. I live in a dry & hot climate (Arizona) but the “War Room” is well ventilated and at a very stable 24C/75F temperature maximum. In this case, aluminum cabinets with glass shelves & LED lighting. Thankfully, no other damage to anything else. Just need a proper adhesive before...

All Flight OPS have been CNX from my Carrier time now. Nothing like that bad feeling you get when something in your display cabinet seems off-in this case, a carrier pilot kissing the deck. I just pulled out all of the bases and they all have issues to include buckling from glue separation, etc...

Fight On!

Made my day. Nothing like adding flight crew to a “Squadron Scramble” set up especially with a pup in the mix. Thanks Andy!

Cheers, I will tackle this one since this is in my wheelhouse so to speak but I am in no way speculating as there are way too many variables that a full investigation will hopefully clear up. Refer to these parameters to start but then again what was actually approved/assigned is TBD...

I completely agree as I enjoyed it & actually learned some new historical background on the Marder lineage. I was intrigued how the Germans utilized various chassis’ and artillery/guns that they commandeered.

COBI Sainte-Mère-Église apparently in 1/35 scale. I know it is toy like but I still like it. Might be fun to add some paint/weathering to it.

Here you go Tom. These would make nice additions to the collection especially during your quarterly viewing experience!
