Many years ago I had just finished spraying the final coat of clear flat on a Karo As 1/72 FW-187 Falke that I had lavished tons of scratchbuilt details on. As I leaned back on my stool to enjoy a job well done, out of nowhere my wife’s long haired cat jumped up onto the bench and rubbed against the box I had the kit elevated on. The model stuck to Barney’s fur and my screams of anguish scared the animal into bolting away with my plane firmly stuck to his side. Barney squeezed under the entertainment center further damaging the battered model and freeing it from the cat. What happened next had never happened before or since but I was so full of rage, I threw the model against the wall. At the end of the ordeal I figured there was a lesson in this tragedy so I boxed up the remains and I still have them to this day. I think that someday I’ll frame the parts and hang it near my bench.
