Seen it too.   A tad small. I prefer the 1/144 scale (BIG GUN) but I'm no modeler.  Nor do I have the space to store a H39.

I liked the captioned banter at the end - the wife (?) telling the president that he has to take up 
jogging ...

My new diet guru:
Q: Doctor, I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life.  Is this true?  
A: Your heart only good for so many beats, and that it...don't waste on exercise.  Everything wear out eventually.  Speeding up heart not make you live longer; it like saying you extend life of car by driving faster.  Want to live longer?  Take nap.  

Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables?  
A: You must grasp logistical efficiency.  What does cow eat?   Hay and corn.  And what are these?   Vegetables.  So steak is nothing more than efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system.  Need grain?  Eat chicken.  Beef also good source of field grass (green leafy vegetable).  And pork chop can give you 100% of recommended daily allowance of vegetable product. Ice Cream even better - everything Cow eats in one package!

Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake?  
A:  No, not at all.  Wine made from fruit.  Brandy is distilled wine, that mean they take water out of fruity bit so you get even more of goodness that way.  Beer also made of grain. All people who don't drink unhappy - happy people live longer so drink more. Bottom up!

Q: How  can I calculate my body/fat ratio?  
A: Well, if you have body and you have fat, your ratio one to one.  If you have two bodies, your ratio two to one, etc.

Q: What  are some of  the advantages of participating in a regular exercise program?  
A: Can't think of single one, sorry. More people killed running on street than lying on couch. My philosophy is: No pain...good!



Q:  Aren't fried foods bad for you?  
A:  YOU NOT LISTENING!  Food are fried these day in vegetable oil.  In fact, they permeated by it.  How could getting more vegetable be bad for you?!?  

Q:  Will  sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the middle?  
A: Definitely not!  When you exercise muscle, it get bigger.  You should only be doing sit-up if you want bigger stomach.  

Q:  What about food additives?
A: You want to complain about something for free? If it added - must be better - like fuel additive!



Q:  Is chocolate bad for me?  
A:  Are you crazy?!?  HEL-LO-O!!  Cocoa bean!  Another vegetable!  It best feel-good food around!

Q:  Is swimming good for your figure?  
A:  If swimming good for your figure, explain whale to me..

Q:  Is getting in shape import_ant for my lifestyle?  
A:  Hey!  'Round' is a shape!  

Well, I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had about food and diets.

A Papoua is expelled from a Wellness center and sits sadly on the sidewalk. A journalist walks by and asks .

What happened?

I was spooning up the Jacuzi,and it wasn't appreciated.

Why were you spooning up the jacuzi, it's at least strange to do?

Ah, as Papoua I'm a cannibal, but I adjust to the laws over here. So, I won't eat the meat, but nobody told me drinking the soup was not allowed.

Nice battle scene:

I particularly like:
- the historically accurate scene where the Russians are taking off their backpacks before the attack;
- the slow rate of march in the field, pointing to the roots of the 90 steps per minute used by the Foreign Legion today

Stunningly done.  And an example of mercantile build for military purpose, a real tender.
