Guess I'm weird, I must confess to not liking anything on biscuits but butter. The only thing I put gravy on is mashed potatoes. 

 

That's ok, you still 'da man anyway. 

Ever tried jam or jelly though? Yum.

Lol, thanks Greg. I love jam and jelly on toast but not that much on biscuits. I guess I'm a bad Southener, I don't like grits much either... 

Just give me some scrambled eggs and bacon for breakfast... 

Nice little build Toshi.

I like me biscuits either way, with butter and honey or just as B&G.  We have a couple of chain eateries out here, Shari's and Black Bear, that do a decent biscuit and gravy setup.  Nothing better and more filling than 3-4 biscuits and country gravy.

Wife used to do them when we camped out 4 wheeling or hunting, over an open fire.....what a way to start the day.  Whole different taste than off a stove.

Funny thing about biscuits, butter and honey....the three of them never work out even, always have some of two out of the three left over.

So i have to ask, what do you mean by jam. Because as i understand it, what you call jelly is what we call jam.

Hey , Toshi !

 Das a noice boid ya got dere LOL.LOL. Very nice looking Toshi .Keep up the good work .T.B.

Over on this side of the pond, jelly is usually the juice, strained out fron the pulp and then jellied.  Jam usually has chunks of the fruit still in it, and ends up being a little thicker.

Thanks Goldhammer, I'd just assumed jelly and jam were pretty much different region's names for the same thing. Aka soda vs. pop or cake icing vs. frosting (though I've been told icing and frosting aren't the same thing either...) 

This is the very same kit that I bought for my grandson, but due to time constraints and youthful impatience, I wasn't able to paint it and decal it like I wanted. It was the same thing with his 1/72 F-14A. I bought the 1/48 F-14(Revell) and I'm going to show him what a completely painted, decaled and fully loaded F-14 looks like.

Looks great there Toshi, i do like it in that scheme.

 

 

 

 

Thank you sir!  I have a few questions in regards to the BBC tele.

 

Do they still have:

Black Adder, Wogan, Neighbors, East Enders, Top of the Charts, Hello Hello, and my all time number one favorite Ab Fab "Absolutely Fabulous"?  Thank you in advance!

Toshi

 

 

 

 

Blackadder No, Wogan No (Terry died early this year) Neighbours, No (now on Channel 5), Eastenders, yes, and Ab fab, no, but they have recently released an Ab Fab movie.

Stunning job on the hellcat Toshi, really great finish. And i lovce the line up of 72nd, a nice little collection.

You wnat a nice iconic 72nd kit from Academy, try one of their Ju 87G's, those are great kits and some nice OOB detail.

Super job on the Hellcat! And the Corsair and Mustang don't look half bad either...

Good thing Goldhammer answered this! I like jam better but I'll be darned if I could explain why or what exactly the difference is.

 

This is what I'd call an educational thread.

 

And Toshi is what I'd call a gentleman and good sport for allowing all this bantering about biscuits and gravy.

This is what a true community is all about!  FSM forum is the best!

PS, Sunday AM, I stopped for biscuits and gravy enroute to golf as a direct result of this thread. As much as I like them, I almost never order them.

The last black Adder I saw was the one depicted in WWI.  Ahh, I really loved Terry Wogan's show.  When I watched Neighbors Kylie Minouque and Jason Donovan were big.  Eatenders are still going?  Wow!  As Ab Fab, I'll catch the movie!  Thanks for the memories Bish!

 

Toshi

 

Fortunatly i have the whole Black Adder on box set which includes the Special editions. British Humour at its best. My other half is an Eastenders fan but i don't watch it myslef. Its fuuny, because she is from manchester, but she watches Eastenders but not Corination Street, go figure.

Ye, they do two, the G-1 and G-2. I did the G-1 a few years back,

And i should be doing the G-2 next year as par of a larger build. I got loads of AM for mine includeing resin cannon. But i really didn't need to as the kits ones are really nice and i ended up sending both sets of guns to guys your side of the water who were building the Fujmi kit.

Highly recomended.

It does get a bit confuseing. We have jam, which is a fruit preserve. We have jelly, which is the same as your jell-o and then we have anotehr jelly which is served as a condiment with certain meats.

Hi, Toshi! I decided to pick up this kit for later. Your work on it made me want one for my shelf as well. After debating over the options, I'm also going to go with the -5 fully loaded just like yours. Its just a pleasent looking model when finished.

I didn't see any Dark Sea Blue at HL so I'm going with Vallejo 70.899 Dark Prussian Blue overall. It's a very pretty dark blue color that I think will come fairly close. Kind of reminds me of the old Monogram kit blue it was molded in.

I also went by Gabi's Olympic Cards and Comics (Local comic store that specializes in miniatures and games) and found some Vallejo Model Air 71.017 Russian Green and model wash 76.523 European Dust for my T-90. They provide a vast selection of all sorts of paints, even if they don't have a shelf of models to choose from. Lots of miniatures and Warhammer products though. Good store and very popular around this area.

Anyways, I've already got some small changes in plan to make the kit a little more fun to build, but mostly I'm looking forward to painting this little beauty up just like you did. A fully loaded F6F-5 from the USS Hornet!

You were right about the details provided with this kit. They are quite acceptable. The fit of the parts is good as well. I think I will enjoy this build and I look forward to the finish.  :)

Thank you for the WIP, my friend. I'm looking forward to this one.  :)

I don't know how exciting it will be lol. I just liked how yours turned out and I'd like one as well.

I did finally find a couple of F6F-5 Blue Angels kits that are likely still out there. One Hasagawa and an old Lindberg kit. I'm pretty sure I remember building a Monogram version in 1/48, but the last time I checked I couldn't find even one reference for it.

Some day I wil run across another Blue Angels Hellcat though. I have some fond memories of that kit.  :)
