Makes shrt work of balsa, but won't cut fingers. He was quite smart. Took me 55 years to stick my fingers in a table saw. Hurt more than this one. |

The DeWitt Clinton probably a little earlier. The decals on the B-47 really deteriorated. Looks like it needs a major overhaul. Just think - could have been chasing girls! |
