First, Thanks for the examples of models we have received so far, some very detailed well done models have come in. Second I apologize for the fact that our modeler must be located in the USA.

#2 Telephone time, we spend hours on the phone with our modelers, and again it is too costly to be on the phone to Europe or Asia for 20-30 hours a month.
