"No, it really doesn't exist mate"

"No you don't understand sir, I really, REALLY do have the security clearance to be told about it"

"No you don't understand: it really REALLY doesn't exist!"

Hehe, it sits there in its glass case in our lounge (I'm looking at it now...) and I swear blind it's laughing its little plastic socks off!

The darn thing has given me tons more kudos than any of the RW models I ever buitl and there's HUNDREDS of them! The secretary of my model club, who just doesn't get the Whiff thing at all, hates the PR19 with a passion. So I make sure I bring it with me to every Show we do of course....  -_-

If anyone deserves a gong for services to entertainment it's Kit with this model.  Each twist and turn is funnier than the last!  So funny.   ;D ;D

I do not BELIEVE it!!!!  :banghead:

My brain hurts, I'd have NEVER found that, it doesn't even mention 'PR19' at all of course, but for sure that's what it's about.

What have I done?

The link it provides is to the PR19 article that prompted this thread..... ;D  Anyone who reads that link properly should realise it's a whiff, but somehow I get the impression that reading things properly isn't a strong point over there....

Molluscs I can handle, specially cockles, but oysters, yeuk! Like sliding wet tyre inner tubes down your neck.........  -_-

As for April the First, we did that already. The original article was published in Mushroom Monthly magazine, in the April issue of course, but it did have the modelling section at the end, unlike other postings I could mention. Amazingly one or two people wrote into MM complaining that they didn't understand why they'd published an RW article in the April issue! Perhaps the piece was SO long they gave up before reaching the end?  :lol:

and of coarse, with some people the more you deny its existance, the more they will be convinced it exists, and that youve been got, by "them", and scared into this, to cover things up. :banghead: :banghead:
but i am enjoying the confusion.
