What if Czech Republic supplying ‘Hussite Wagon’ to Ukraine?
They gonna upgrade those wagons with Soviet made explosive reactive armor. (Like what they did to German tanks.)

Come on Burt, it's a Lego carriage that opens sideways and sports a Ukrainian flag. You don't get it? (Me neither )

I guess the emphasis is more on 'random' than 'cool' with this one

Damn, after I once saw a bus made from the DC-3's fuselage, I thought that I had already seen everything ... but it turns out not ... unfortunate Cat

My brother has a funny story about a canso ( Catalina). When he was an apprentice the survey company bought one. He and bunch of other apprentices were stuffed inside with red markers. They were going to land on Lake Ontario and their job was to circle any leaking rivets with the markers. As soon as the aircraft slows down after touchdown the water was gushing in from everywhere. They all dropped their markers and started screaming at the pilot “go go go”
