Hey Stik!  It has been a great post!  Still think you should be the new Dom for the "organization".    Then maybe I can get my membership!

I painted the exhausts rust, and dry brushed with brown to vary the appearance a bit.  After a dull coat, I weathered them with brown pastels.  I also hollowed out the ends with an 11 blade.  I used the October (at least I think it was October) 2010 issue of FSM as a guide on how to paint it.

Thanks for the paint references and I will be digging out the 2010 issues to find the October one!  Thank you!

I will act as such in da boss's absence... but if I claim the title for myself it might make it look like I had something to do with his disappearance,,,

I'm sure if we did as a Tribute Build to HVH, naming Stik as Honorary, Temporay Dom until such time the Original Revellogram Dom , reappears, comes out of Witness Protection, or his demise is confirmed,,,that most Revellogram Deciples would be ok with this.. I would.

I second the motion.  So say we all?!

I'm in!!   Unless the heat gets on and then I never knew any of youse guys.

Dom Stik, allow me to be the first to congratulate you upon taking over the "business".  I'm sure certain changes will be coming... and if some members just happen to decide to... *cough*... entertain thoughts of opposing this change in position... well, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas... if you get my drift.

Gary

Yeah, it's time.....

Congrats Dom Stik!  Being as my family has been Monogram/Revell followers since way back in the day (and actually being Sicilian!), you have my unwavering devotion to the "business".  And like GAF said, any opposition will be taken care of.    So...(as we all stand around the big desk you are sitting at)...what can we do for you Dom?

P.S.  I'm taking a break from building my MONOGRAM STUKA Ju87D to write this...just sayin'!

"And that is how one BECOMES the Dom!  Just sayin'.  "

Hey Stik, Eagle knows too much...jus' sayin'

Yeahhhh........what's up wit dat Eagle fellah???  Anybody know his creds??  Who's to say he ain't workin' for that Tamigawa Cartel???  Maybe we oughta take him on a little ride to the country....to clear his head, ya know??  Maybe he'll remember where the Great Don Hammerini was last seen........

Dom Stick, wit your permission, I'll bring the Caddy around back and ah, help our friend Eagle to dah car.....I know this perfect little mom and pop hobby shop just across the river.....yeah....yeah.....

So yous guys think your tough huh?!  Tamigawa Cartel!  Thems fightin words!  I've killed for less than that! You have insulted my family, you have.............wait a minute.....you have a mom and pop hobby shop?!  

Ok wise guys, all this nonsense is bad for business... So lets keep up makin sure that the R/M folks stay in business to keep us supplied with product. I think I feel a 3rd family gathering coming this summer...

Yes Boss.  

All in good fun....and hope all know that.  Made me want to watch the Godfather again!

Seriously, there are some great builds here!  I do really like the Mono/Revell kits.  I guess it is the nostalgia thing, but they are good kits.  

Eagle90

I feel ya Stick!  Just giving the new kid da business; tryin' to figure out if he's legit or not.......you know how those goons from the other families are always tryin' to dishonor us!!!  On you wishes, outa respect, I'll lighten up on the new guy......I gotta go see a guy at the docks about an 'unfortunate, freak' sinking of a Japanese flagged container ship that was heavily laden with Mr. Tamiya's product......very unfortunate accident.......the waters of the East Coast can be very tricky to navigate at times......oh wait, that tub don't make port until tomorrow........uhh, forget what I said!!  I'm heading to the track!!!

Hey Baron, sorry I missed your post last week. Thanks and I've built the old Monogram P-47D and the ProModeler kit is completely new. No parts in common at all. I have no idea if it shares any parts with a Revell kit though. The P-47N has all recessed panel lines and generally resembles a new run kit.

And congrads SP on your new 'promotion' - with the Tamiygawa Yakuza and the Trumpeteer Tong around you might want to have someone else start your car for you before you leave the building - if ya know what I mean?

Too shiny, but I wasn't that into weathering then.  Drilled out all of the dive brake holes and added some flap reinforcing.

I see that you also added the missing spinner cap

From a Tamiya Buffalo.  Cut down to fit.

Yes, sir, and don't take me too seriously, it was just too good to pass up!

Hey, shouldn't we have a secret handshake?

No worries!  All in good fun!  It was too easy to come up with all that!  LOL! 

I think Stik got the picture too. 

Secret handshake!  Brilliant! 

Eagle90

Secret handshake- the little ring and middle fingers form a M while the thumb and forefinger form a R while grasping... Oops, now it's not secret anymore! ;-)

Guys, I am getting lots of chuckles from the past couple of pages here.

Ok, who is up for MM pt.3 starting early to mid July?

I'm all for it!

I think Eagle will be a tough sell, though.

Count me in.....knee caps and all.

I'm in......or out,,,in. Yes in...

I'm definitely down

Built this for the local VFW in Fallon, NV about 10+ years ago. I was a replacement for a Memphis Belle that had come to a fatal end while someone was cleaning. Yes, I know its a -G model. But they wanted another Belle and at the time I couldn't find a 1/48 -F kit for any amount of money. The kit came from my stash and I did it up over the 30 days leave before going back to Japan.
