Yes, Mike, those instructions (same as mine, I'm sure, but I hadn't bothered to check) are all wrong. The teeny AA missiles are Tartars - short range missiles, in the days before the Phalanx (gattling-cannon), etc.. And the "searchlights" are missile illuminators - which, I guess, are basically searchlights, except in radar wavelengths.

Now, to "Snooker Ball Factory" - what the f- is that? Of course, I'm going to appreciate your order - I think I still owe you some promised parts, no? But then, I know that you owe me pics of your finished Boston! And remember, I still have all your article submissions on it, so if you want to write up a "capper" to finish it out, I'll gladly re-post the whole series, all in order and organized, so we can all read and enjoy it, buddy.

Good to see you again, Mikey - eMail away whatever you want, whenever you're ready, buddy!

Cheers,

-Matty
