Isthmus Models is proud to also have a part in
sponsoring this young fellow from Modesto. He and his
uncle will be flying matching Sopranos this year and
more of our designs as time goes on. From what I hear,
watch out in the future. I am very happy seeing folks
make this kind of effort to bring deserving young
fellows along.
BTW...Charles and Benard Simpier will have Sopranos at
the CASL contest this weekend. I'm bummed that I'll
have to miss it. Good luck you guys.
