Wow! some truly great stuff here.

It's great to see so much modern stuff comingout. Those canadian and german crew will surely be must welcomed.

Now, I would like to nitpick a little on the RMD 35003 Canadian Coyote stencil data, there's quite a few typos in there Don't know if it is too late to make some correction before they are released?

a few example:

REMPLISSAGE DE RÈSERVOIR should read REMPLISSAGE DE RÉSERVOIR (without an accent on the O)

ENTERETOISE DE FILET should read ENTRETOISE DE FILET

CÀBLE DE RACORDEMENT shuld read CÂBLE DE RACCORDEMENT

PINCE-MONSIEUR should read PINCE-MONSEIGNEUR

WW II Marlboros? I don't think so. Nice stuff otherwise.

For you unbelievers, check this. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marlboro_%28cigarette%29

Miloslav,

I think what Bob was trying to say, (although the Wiki link is a bit vague) is that Marlboro cigarettes weren't supplied to GI's in WWII even though they were in existence at that time. Perhaps you should put those on a modern set of cigarette brands...

below is a slightly deeper explanation of the circumstances as to why you wont find Marlboro's in a WWII GI's hand:

Marlboro cigarettes began in 1847 in England. The new brand was named after the Marlborough Street in London. In 1902 Philip Morris, a British cigarette manufacturer, founded a subsidiary corporation in New York. Marlboro cigarettes were introduced to the U.S. market as the cigarette of choice for fairer sex. Marlboro women's cigarettes were advertised under the slogan "Mild as May". A series of ads in 1926 depicted a feminine hand reaching for a cigarette. The special design of Marlboro cigarettes featured a red tip, which hid lipstick marks that women would leave while smoking. However, because of this the Marlboro cigarettes brand faltered During World War II and had to be taken off the market. This brand was again submitted to the market in the 1950's when many smokers began to worry about the health aspects of their habit. At the time, the majority of cigarettes were not filtered, Marlboro's were.

This is off topic but I gotta say when I saw Ken's avatar I thought that tough guy is saying " You wanna take it outside pal ?"

LOL!

That's why I love the pic so much, he looks like he's holding a fist while grimacing like a tough guy at you...

however, with closer inspection he appears to have a handful of beach sand and by the look on his face, perhaps a mouthful as well.

Miloslav,

I didn't mean to criticize. In all periods except WW II, Marlboro was very widely used. As you know, I was involved with many production companies over the years. Every current company out there today has made the same kind of errors including all of mine. It is only human. I would still buy the set, then when building Vietnam or Desert Storm or Iraq, Marlboro packs were everywhere!

I wasn't very old during WW II, but I started smoking Marlboros after they were re-released in the early 1950s.

Keep putting out great products!

Bob

God I want a cigarette....anyone got a smoke?

17 year ex-smoker doesn't need to read so much about his Marlboro Reds....

MP,

17 years huh? You got me by five! 12 years for me. Never think about them anymore.

Bob

Yeap, been married about that long also, ironic ain't it...

Well I think it is intriguing to know why Marlboro were not available during WWII (a mistake I would probably have made too) and why the Marlboro MAN was such a clever marketing tool . Smoking is very yuck anyway , you shouldn't even smoke if you are drunk , hey Mel ?
