He is indeed!
I love the Ertl/Imai stuff, I also have NIB the 1/100 Spanish Galleon, 1/60 Santa Maria, and built up 1/60 Catalan ship which I would like to re-rig, and the big Golden Hind built up in storage.
Great writing, @jtilley. You think alot like I do. Direct, and to the point.
I will be building the Heller Pamir next month, and will be referring back here often during my build !
