"awe damn it" club!

Awe Dammit!!!!

I think I can qualify for membership based on the following evidence:

I. I did finish puting decals on my lovely F-104C and then decided to just do a little more painting. So not to spoil the markings, I masked up the entire length of the fuselage and sprayed merrily away! When the paint dried, I removed the tape and yes all the decals came off with the £$&^%! tape! Dammit!

2. I took an empty paint pot and mixed the exact colour green for my A-10. I then came back to the model and proceeded to spray the wrong green over the model.Dammit!!

3. I carefully and knowingly took my time inserting the cockpit tub into my A-1 skyraider. I also used extra strong glue and clamps to fuse the fuselage together. I was very proud of the neat and tidy job that sat on the bench before me. That is........until I saw the tail wheel-well sitting next to it. DAMMIT!!

That concludes the small taster of my modelling misfortune. The other 432 examples of my stupid "Awe dammit!'s" are availiable to the commitee for review.

I hope you look upon my membership application favourably.

It is nice to have others that make those same mistakes. I also made the stupid mistake of taping over decals. Why, why, why so I could touch up the B-25. I had to buy another just for the decals. The markings were for LtCol Doolittle’s a/c. ugh. The model turned out nice. Sits on display with a previous unit I was assigned to.
