I also still have to repair a few more first, since they did not travel at all well. (Original boxes long since gone.) 90% had at least some damage, a good five or six models were completely buggered and I'm trying to decide whether another four or five are worth the effort.

My friend and I applied for airline jobs in Australia, but they didn't Qantas.
