----When Terry and I went to AMT in 1993 for them to make a run of Red Alert models (5000 of them) Terry was given the job of doing the box design and some extras. We made a window sticker and a build sheet. These were to be included with the model as an extra incentive. They looked pretty good but some guys on another website got on my case about fonts and other minor discrepancies. I kept telling them that we knew that and it really wasn't that big a deal. I finally gave up and left that sight, never to return!...….Bill S

When I was cleaning out the basement yesterday I ran across those - the window sticker has your signature on it.

Bill and Jan gave me one of the models, I think they used it as bait to get me out of their house :-) (joke)

----No, Paul. Just the convert one. Didn't even have the internet. I'm not sure where Terry got the info, but he had a lot of friends (RIP, Terry)…….Bill S

Terry tasked me with getting the codes to fill in the buildsheet. He knew I had a large collection of sheets to work from.
