Hello Joseph, That's a fine looking anti-aircraft truck you built. The rotating gun looks pretty intimidating. That should ground the Bi-plane baron. ;). I wouldn't worry about the lack of tracks. Track was always coming off those 1/2 tracks. A (...) (26 years ago, 18-Nov-99, to lugnet.adventurers)

I just finished up the work on my Puma page: (URL) uses pieces from the Adventurer sets 5956-Expedition Balloon and 5958-Mummy's Tomb. I kind of wish it had doors (or even treads) but I still think it turned out okay. ..joseph g (26 years ago, 18-Nov-99, to lugnet.adventurers, lugnet.build)

Does anyone have any ideas as to why it's so difficult (nearly impossible) to find set 5909? It's the set with the tan bi-plane with white wings and a little jeep-truck thing.
