I have 4 rolls of polymicro and 1 roll of ultrafilm that I'll gladly donate
to any group that wants to build A-6 models (or any other model for that
matter),and I won't hold it hostage over a proposed rule change. I'd prefer
that these go to schools or beginner groups. No guarantees on how much
film is on each roll (they're all at least 15 years old), but free is a
hard price to beat. First come, first serve. Contact me off list at
82.jake at gmail dot com to make arrangements. I'll notify the list when
they're gone.
