One of the crash trucks is being worked on by a fellow who used to crew them, I don't know about the other.  I do know the museum has two of them.

C-124 tour?  Sounds interesting,

Bondo, you live in Sacto? I was actually born in Sacto. In Kaiser Hospital. My brother was in AFRES and did his weekends at McClellan when we lived in California. I remember Watt Ave. very well. I used to go with my dad to take my brother just to ride in our 1970 Monte Carlo which dad used to flex its muscles at every light. We used to live in West Sac on 79th St. Sadly, dad sold that car.

Cheers, Richie

Actually abt 80 miles southwest. When I thro a stick for the dogs it goes in the water. Richie I had you as an Ozzie? Wonder why?

I am an American living in OZ. Married an Ozzie, thats the main reason I came over.

       I would consider myself to have broken sprue last night on the DC-6. I sat for over an hour marking the fuse where I am going to have to shorten it, trying to make sure I got it in just the right spot so as not to destroy to much of the detail. Will have to fill and rescribe the starboard fwd entrance door. its the wrong shape for the one I'm doing.

Cheers, Richie

What's the status of this GB? Is it still going on? I hope so... Star/End dates? Or no end date?

I think I may join up if the dates have been changed or eliminated.

Thanks!

There's been a couple of tragedies this summer, as we are well aware. Good to keep it alive, even as a chat room.

Over in aircraft, Lucien Harpness is going to build (maybe) a Mars in red waterbomber colors.

Hi kenjitak,

Welcome to the Firebirds! Group Build.  It's a rolling build which is good for those of us who find it hard to be inside during the long days. 

Summer's over and it's time to get back at 'er.  I was actually looking at my Tracker this morning.  Had a few anxious moments when I thought that the props were missing but found them with a kit my youngest son is working on. 

What kit(s) do you have in mind for this GB?

aboard Ken!!!!!  Personally, I would love to see a Neptune in Aero Union colors. The Evergreen scheme just doesn't look right to me. Either way, will love to see your build progressing before us. Would also love to see your scratchbuild of the bucket for the Squirrel. Ceiling fan or airplane?? Hmmm, ur call.
