There is no 1/16"Spicy' Pershing decals unfortunately. But Rad Schuhart is making wonderful paint masks which are far better :)

Hello, I don't understand? 8O the meaning of your message? maybe due to my poor knowledge of your language?

It's a play on the Star Wars lines in Empire Strikes Back when Luke lands on Dagoba. He's unknowingly talking to Yoda and says, "I'm looking for a great warrior." Yoda says, "Wars does not make one great". Then Luke says, "I'm looking for a Jedi Master". Yoda says, "Yoda, you seek Yoda."

Using "Whaddaboutit" is basically "What about it" and writing it that way is slang...

Hey, Paddyslot! How about going "whole hog" (poor Jofaur: now I have thrown in some idiomatic English, too) and do a diorama: the Panther in front of the cathedral and the Pershing. (There is also the sad footage of the Sherman and its unfortunate crew members.) The action in front of the cathedral was so infamous that my father--a veteran of the Signal Corp. in the Pacific--nonetheless went to Germany to see the bridge at Remagen and the Cathedral at Cologne. That was over fifty years ago, and he took me along because he wanted me to see those places (and I could speak some German).

Ive stood at both locations and tried to imaging the clash in real time while tourists are wandering about.
Tragically iconic footage.
