NASM Washington D.C. no.5

Forgive the poor quality of this foto A better photographer than I am,
armed with a tri-pod and a better camera would be necessary to do a good job
on these. I carried a mono-pod and an inexpensive digital. I wanted to
show you the vast and complete collection of these models. I understand
they are preserved in a nitrogen atmosphere. I had some of these and
watched helplessly as they deteriorated with age..

We are currently thinking of going to DC,
probably about 2 weeks, possibly next
April or so. Thanks for more inspiration.

Really?
I did not know that was much of a problem.

I've some plastic models from 45 years back,
kind'a seem ok still to me. ??

Do not neglect the new NASM out near Dulles Airport/Manassas and the new
National Museum of the Marine Corps just south of D.C at Quantico. I
served in the Marines and will be posting pictures from both places
'eventually' I am currently fixing them and

Cool, thanks for more ideas and inspiration!
I was also USMC, we need to look more into
months, dates, schedule for the 8th & I
'Twilight Parade' or other such!

Really?
These Cruver WW2 ID Models have an early type of black plastic that
deteriorates with time.

Sure, that makes real sense
(gee, 1st generation plastic, suppose lots
more research and improvement helped!)

Did that, years ago! Semper Fi!

Between Baltimore and Philadelphia is the Armor Museum
at Aberdeen that is worth the drive.
