    What to do with a Kato RSC-2?

    It's right. For many years, people in Portugal didn't have any model at all, and we turned to other countries. Lots of friends of mine turned into the USA, others (like myself) to Germany... but the little creature of portuguese models were there, and I still made some home-built models for...

    What to do with a Kato RSC-2?

    ZIP file with spanish ads

    Somehow, Javier, you made me think about my early years spending vacations in Andalucia... especially with the Cola-Cao ad.... Maybe I can have some use for them... Don't you have some of the ad's used usually at the border's with Portugal? And those with the Bull to be placed near the roads?
