 MAJ Mike:

This came in the mail, today.

nice mike....Im sure you wont have fit issues like the dragon kit...and for sure wont have problems understanding the instructions!!!

cant wait for the pics.....color scheme????

Carlos:  Was thinking an irregular line ("squiggily") pattern of pale grey over a standard green/dark green splinter scheme.  Ventral area light grey or light blue.  I'll research the appropriate RLM colors.

Maybe add Defense of the Reich color bands somewhere.  Its a fictional (Luftwaffe '46?) situation, so i can play some.  No where near the super detail you and others engage in (self-torture?).  Haven't built an aircraft since the early 1970's.  Should be interesting.

I appreciate the good vibes.

Wish we could find  the GB badge.

This will force me to complete my stalled T-62.  I'm sure I can complete this by September.

Guess I can sit with the cool kids in the cafeteria, now.

Hmmm.... I thought that was a new top secret swing wing or Naval folding wing model. Guess I was wrong on that idea

I can guarantee it's not metal fatigue!

I'm Censored good, but I don't time travel (although Aaron can).  The first set of photos I posted included the HO prior to sending it to the final destination. 

Oh... you can't? My mistake.

 MAJ Mike:

I also took photos of the HO with only Manny's, Vance's and my signatures before I forwarded it to Boyd.

 

Awwww great!  I see how it is Crying... You're tryin' to write me out of the will, aren't ya!!! You bast'ahd!!!!

 Stick out tongue

Boyd:  I took those particular pictures before I mailed the HO to you.  I'm Censored good, but I don't time travel (although Aaron can).  The first set of photos I posted included the HO prior to sending it to the final destination.  Check the photo, your signature is there.

...and my parents were married for two years (to each other) before I was born. Wink

Even as we "speak", official Government technicians are engaged in a search for the missing HO.

 

Penalties for stealing the HO will be imposed without mercy and with glee.

 

SEMPER MOJO!

carsanab

we need to see pics of the hanger too....that will prove beyond a reasonable doubt that we have a legitimate HO-Gadget there are hidden security features in the hangers construction that will confirm that........

...still waiting for the infiltrated Dept. of Labour to crush the uprising of the Communist Union of Peasent Workers, retruibution is slow & confusing. Rumour is that the disgruntled members will be back on the job just in time for the weekend, I'm crossing my fingers for a Ho sighting early next week...

Hi guys,

I should be collecting my mask set Friday, and look forward to getting some paint on the bird. I'm also angling for Dragon's 229 nightfighter version, which at 1:48 might be big enough for me to freehand the Uhu-style camo spots...
