As a character in TV's M.A.S.H. once siad, "The seaon of April oneeth is at hand."

Wouldn't it be ironic if Jimbrae finally gets word of a new kit of the American Half Track but it was announced on April Fools Day? Nobody would believe him.

So if you see any posts announcing that Tamiya is coming out with an all new M3 3 in 1 kit, with PE, for $30.00, that DML is deciding to discontinue all German kits, that Trumpeter is announcing an entire line of 1/350 Allied cruisers, or the like, just take the news with a large pinch of salt.

Thanks for the warning Rodger, however all my importamt news (Hood and ALabama in 350) has already long been out. In fact I'm seeing pre-orders for Hood now.

Dave,

We Hoosiers are setting our clocks ahead for the first time in 35 years. For some reason we never changed our clocks before, spring or fall. Everyone in the state is confused.
As far as April Fool's joke go, someone keeps trying to tell me the team from George Mason is in the Final Four. Hell, he could have come up with something better than that...
