Keep forgetting location where the Caproni Ca.100 "standard views" sales promotional photos I'd taken in 2017 for Choroszy Modelbud are on my PC's hard disk, sorry about that

It's just wonderful work. I can not understand how you just gave them all away, rather than inquiring if an air museum would not take them.

...Vince, they'd be damaged transporting them to any local museum, one model damaged whilst moving it just two miles where had ived with late folks for 25 years coming up nine years ago drove that point home! In 1997 I gave away 95 models built 1988-92 displayed in two $1,000 custom-built cases to son of my twin sister's sister-in-law, Joel said still had them 10 years ago but doubt any are intact.

Amongs the collection given away in 2020 were three 1990-built perfectly perserved SUPERMODEL Macchi C.202s, should had saved them but they like every model I'd built eventually will fall apart & be tossed; point of building all models since 1978 was improving craft skills apex being the vacuforms built during 2020. What I'd regret was not taking photos of models built before 2006, could had bought a digital camera documenting the 1988-92 & 2004-05 ones they amongst my best non-Italian ones, all those built 1978-85 were for basic skills development.

Try as I did taking multiview photos of all the 2006-2020 builds some I'd just got one snap of; all those before 2018 were from a flp cell phone camera. At some point in future must revew all PC hard disk data files, reorganize all model pic ones whilst doing so hopefully finding more photos of models currently have just one of, if any are found will try to post them on this discussion thread.
