Regia Aeronautica GB II (06/15/09 to 06/15/10)

WOW Guy, that pit is totally awsome. Very realistic and great detail. I bow down to your skills and workmanship.

On my front here is a few shots of the paint from last night. Just dropping a hint here but would anyone happen to have a spare set of white crosses from the rudder. My decal sheet looks very dodgy. I can paint the white on the nose and fuselage band but want the rudder to be a decal if possible.

Thanks for comments and critique

Steve

Very nicely done, Steve...(for a Steelers fan).

Sorry I can't help with the decals.

Thanks Mucker, if I had never mentioned the World Champion Steelers (5) would I have had a better chance of getting the decals ??????????????????????????????????????????????????

Unfortunately, this is my first Italian aircraft, so I have absolutely zero decals, spares, etc. Might I interest you, however, in some scraps from a Terrible Towel or a nice photo of Turkey Jones performing a pile-driver on Bradshaw (before the "Pile Driver" was term, no less)?

I can't find it for the life of me, but truth be told, I have a few Iron City beer cans with the Super Bowl teams from the '70's.

OMG, Aaron. My mental eyes, my mental eyes !!!!!!!!!. I cant get that burnt image out of my head. I may now need years of theraphy to recover from that sentance. Maybe modelling will help put the image out of my head.

Mucker, I remember that play and there was a very simular one in last night game , if you saw it. Cant believe it was not flagged.

Steve

Sean you can't flaunt that stash and then not expect us not to nag the poop out of you to build 2 or 3 of em'! If Guy has seen your post your a done for. I forsee alot of homework in your future.

Guy awesome job on that pit. I remember building mine how delicate and detail it is. Looks like you nailed it. I shall scan and post ther instruction sheet for you after I clean up a bit and visit the market as my cupboards are bare and I am hungry. The engine on the Re 2000 is a little different that the Cr42 one. The crankcase just had flat spots on it where the cylinder heads were supose to be placed. I know now to take more off of the bottoms of the cylinder heads to get a better fit in the cowl.

Aaron  thanks for lookung for the number. The next wild party you have let me know and I'll be on the first plane to Texas!

Steve I think I have you covered on the tail crosses but I will not have a chance to look until a little later tonight. I will let you know. Since my Giants crapped out yesterday I say GO STEELERS!

Everybody, on the count of 3, all pour thinners in your ears to burn your minds eye.

What an evil image to leave us all with. Homework for you big boy, infact detention.

Stand in the middle of your street in your scivvys and have someone photograph you. As penance. All in favour say 'I'

...Guy, oh and 'I'

Guy- Have you checked your emails today?  Sent you something LOL. Nice work!  I'm still building a 109, haven't even started the Albatros, and you're already half way through your RA build!  How the heck do those elves do it?  Perhaps I'll just box up my GB kits and send them over to them. THAT"S THE PICTURE!!!  You win a great prize!  You get to shave Mac's bikini line LOL.  Thanks for finishing your homework, suppose you have more for us now. Steve- You must have Guy's elves working for you too!  Not one but THREE 109's, and now you're painting your Macchi?   You are a modeling machine my friend.

Frank you say I? This was all yout doing anyways !

I was at the game...supposedly.  I was too young to remember; probably eating a hot dog while looking for the cotton candy guy.

Guy:  I say "Noooo" to the photo thing. Just ask him to do it and tell us what happened. I don't need the pictures. It's bad enough as a mental image.

Sorry Your Highness , your vastly outnumbered, Now Mac Neal, strip and get in the road!

By morning im expecting pictures.

Aaron if either one of those pictures are really you i would like to ask you to marry me right now. I'll even do the cooking and cleaning! One thing is bothering me though. Either you and Guy are twins or that is not your face. Come on time to come clean or you might find yourself with alot of extra homework!

Steve sorry mate. Seems I have tail crosses for just about everything the Regia Aeronautica flew in WWII except the 202 205 series. If you want to paint them I do have the House of Savoy emblems seperatly that I could sent you to add to the center of the crosses. just let me know.

Guy- that cockpit looks absolutely incredible!!!  The dog's bollocks mate.

Steve-  Excellent work on your 202!  Sorry I can't help you with the decals, don't have any RA stuff in my stash.

Hehehe, I'm terrible, aren't I? LOL...

Fellas-

Lookie what the postman brought me today! 

I was looking for one of these, and having difficulty finding one anywhere.  Remember the 109 we talked Mac into getting?  Well, after his multiple RA GB purchases, he didn't feel he could build 'em all.  So, in a most wonderful gesture of friendship, he decided that I should build the RA 109!  How cool is that?  He was also kind enough to send along some other items I was looking for, way cool my friend.  That was over the top, and I cannot thank you enough.

Just remember, turn-about is fair play.

Guy- Would you be so kind as to change my entry here to a Bf-109G-4?  Many thanks fella!  BTW, did those smoke ring decals arrive yet?

Wow Frank I am jelious. I vote we give Aaron the good egg award for this group build. Nice jesture there Aaron you have truly captured the spirit of the GB and sharing. Now if y6ou could just find me Wingus's cell number I would vote for you as presedent!

I agree SC!  He's A-OK in my book, and not just because of the gift he sent me.  This isn't the first time he has covered my "6".  Last year, when I was trying to make some decals for my Spitfire Mk.I, Mac jumped in to help me out with both feet.  Sent a whole sheet of decals he made on his computer!  I felt SOOOOO bad when I had to tell him they were the wrong size.  So what does he do?  He does it all over again at the right size!  What a slendid chap.  Three cheers to McNeal!

Thanks buddy.

That is way cool Aaron.  I have witnessed many acts of generousity on these forums over my time here and I'm very glad I can hang out with you guys.

Guy, I retract my I  Aaron is a good egg after all.

Aaaah, burn my eyes, aaaahhhhh, errr hang on, theyre strangely attractive in a bearded sort of way. Especially the girl in the top picture, i love a girl with 2 Left ears, Mmmmmm, 'What you doing?'

Crusher, recieved the scans, you top man. My kit is very basic in some areas compared to yours, for sure. That will help though. Cheers buddy.

Frank, front page duley adjusted. We are expecting good things from you on this . I personally love 109's in foriegn clothes. As for the Decals, they did arrive, for that i thank you. I thought id alleady told you theyd arrived in a PM. Or perhaps i just dreamt it. LOL. Whats with the English Colloquialism's (Christ that was a long word for this time in the morning) The dogs Bollocks? Do you Americans know what a *** is? Youve no idea about football. Pm inbound.

One last thing before im savaged, Aaron, what are you building BTW, i didnt add you to the front page. im sure you told me but i cant remember, that and im too lazy to go back and look LOL.

...Guy

...Guy

I totally agree with the Good Egg award. Aaron you are deffo a top class citizen. I wont tell you what he did for me in the UK (Serious for once) as he will get all embarassed and start to cry. We need a special award i feel, mmm. Thinking time.

Hehehehehehe! Soul crusher thought that was my face Guy!  He didn't recognize the scured lip I reckon.  I was in a hurray hence the two left ears sorry but the effect is there.  Frank your welcome!  Come on Fellows look at that box art and tell me you can't just see that 109 on top of Frank's sticks gettting that crazy paint job? That was just something that should have been done! I did nothing that any of you would not have done. I know as I have had offers of help and models from a lot of you as well!  Great bunch of fellows! I am just happy to be here!

Changing my job up a bit. Going to Galveston to visit as I have not worked there since the Hurricane. Try it out for a few days so My posting times my vary a bit. Just in case you thought I was arrested for being in the middle of the street in my undies?  Actually I got solicited.

 Guy I figured you left me off the front page to attract a more refined bunch of modelers...

Going to work on those 1/32 Pacific Coast models. That RE 2005 is just too cool a kit not to dig into. So that will be my start but expect more!

Guy: You're quite the looker. How do you stay in such good shape with all of the bench time you put in? Kudos on landing the Victoria's Secret, job too.

No wonder modeling just comes natural to you...

P.S. Do I get out of the next homework assignment?

You get *** kisser of the day award, Your Highness As for homework, I was sent this vid. Your homework is to watch it without any expletives. That goes for everyone. (Kid friendly, Noone gets hurt).

I was away for one night and now we have Aaron running around the streets in his tighty whities. What has this GB come to,cant wait to see whats next. Aaron is a good egg though, he helped me in BOB GB with making me a prop for my FW-200.

On the decal side of things, I have them hanging in the window hoping they will white up a bit to be usable. I hope this works.
