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

Hello Luftwoller, is it too late to join this group build?  I haven't participated in a group build before, and this one seems a good one to start with.  My skills pale compared to all involved, but the subject matter is so darn interesting, I'm willing to embarass myself to participate.

I have a Italeri S.79 III, and Italeri 1/72 Macchi 205, 1/72 Hasegawa Macchi 202, so it would be one of those.

Thanks for your consideration.

Greg

Sean i feel you should win an award of some description. I want to be you when im older LOL. Your Buckeroosky is just the shizzel my friend (Gratuitous Bit of youth culture there)

Dave, your manly beard looks amazing. You look vaguely familiar though. I cant put my finger on who you remind me of?

...Guy

  Oh man! Too much! 

Hmmm... okay, dug around a bit more and found another one.  Sorry for the fussyness (of the pic, not the stache) but this was taken pre-digital and we don't have a scanner at the moment so its a pic of a pic.  It's not quite the full buckaroo like Sean, maybe a half buckaroo.  I could never match the manliness of Sean's buckaroo.

Ok... found a before and after pic from a couple of years ago...

DON'T DO IT SEAN!!!   The Buckaroo style is way more cool than those so called "Gentleman's" styles.  BTW, what's a gentleman anyway? 

Funny, I don't remember that last rule being there when I signed up.    Had a stash (and a beard) when I was much younger and less portly.  Drove the women wild so I had to shave it eventually to keep the missus happy.  I'll see if I can dig up a pic somewhere.

Ok - I read the first page and got the "moustache rule"

Here is a pic of your truly on our last Boy Scout Campout severaal weeks ago..

But I was reading this fine website

Guy/Tom - I had the "no needle no scalpel" procedure so they just lay you there and have at it. Numb the area with some Star Trek type device. The actual procedure was absolutely painless but halfway through I could feel tugging and pulling and stuff and I started getting really nervous... thought I was going to pass out, all clammy and sweaty. I thought... don't be a girl, suck it up damn it your a man and started looking around the room to take my mind off of it. When we were done, the nurse said "you did good, didn't even pass out." Playing it cool, I said "Why somebody has passed out before?" And she says to me "most people that come in here to have it done pass out."

Ha... guess I rate up there with the manliest of men! Somebody crown me!  In fact, I think I'll even get myself a manly sidekick.

I just noticed that Ken doll has flesh colored underwear... guess we've all been making fun of him for no reason.

LOL, Sim, I think you could be right. Definately not a mans man like your good leader.

Jeremy, Man, i feel for you. Just reading the post made my toes curl. I hope they didnt go to far and make you look anything like this chap,

A good friend of mine had the same OP, he tells me, he had just come out of the theatre (He had a general anethsetic) As he was coming too. 2 Nurses came over and spoke to him. They asked how are you doing Mr Rudge, do you mind if we have a look. Still groggy he said 'Go for it'. So they both lifted the blanket and checked out his man sacks. He said, everytime i think of it it makes me go red as a beetroot. Hes easilly embarrassed.

Check out the rules on pge 1 all. I forgot i added that eons back

...Guy

While you do looks quite hansome with your new flavor saver there Guy need I remind you that Scott Baio never neede a stash to impress the women folk.

Now that is a thing of beauty Guy... you just need the Ferrari to go with it.

I bow to your manliness.

BTW... I'm a little sore due to having the ultimate form of birth control gracefully performed on me today.

Sean - No smoking for twelve days now... the wifey boss too.

Now... please excuse me while I go ice down the boys.

Well you asked for it. Begged in fact. God the emails and PM's ive had begging for me to show the tash. I even read something in the paper...How did the title go..

Young good looking bus driving god, causes commotion throughout bournemouth due to his amazing newly grown attractiveness. woman cant help but swoon as he passes.

Yep, that was it, Be afraid kids and lock up your daughters,

...Guy

Im just loving that picture of the guy with the Mustachio. he is my idol at the mo, The sideys are well cool too. Yeah and Jezza whats with the pics? and us all not being invited with you?

How cool would that be. The whole caboodle of the Reggy Aero GB on an out!!! It would be Moidur

...Guy

Jeremy -  Very cool pictures, man I would of loved to heard that flak gun shoot off ... Thank for posting them. Too bad they dont have stuff like that close to where I live..

How is the non~smoking going ? Come on tell the truth - dont make me have to ask the boss...

I could see the mustache, but the porkchop sideburns are scary. And the cap needs to be tossed for a helmet... 

Cool pics Jeremy thanks for posting them!!!!

Aaron, that's sweet! Sure tops anything I've had the pleasure of firing. I hope things turn around for you... my best to you and your family.

Guns abound! Here is a small taste of some of the weapons at the reenactment Sunday courtesy of my friend Tim (DuHast)...

Here you can see Tim driving me to Nazi Sunday School

My baby... I love this gal!

On our honeymoon...

I'm waiting for the kidnapping!

Guy - I need to see the moustache... but only if it's cool like a Chuck Norris or maybe a handlebar moustache or something cool and manly like this...

BBBBBBRRRRRaaaaaaaaaaaaaaPPPPPPPPP. That gun is sooo cool. Sounds like a fog horn. Right homework. Someone find that Youtube clip of the Gau8 rattling of a few million rounds LOL.

Im so looking forward to coming to the States. To see you mugs and show you how a reall Englishman glubs a drop of the Black stuff. I must tell you that im in the process of another build. Its a fantastic moustache. If you beg long enough, i may even post a pic.

Aaron, bummer to hear your back is giving you more nasties. I dont know whats more frightening, a forum without your prowess or you on stronger drugs....Geeez.

Bill thats only going to confuse him because he has no idea which side of the car is the passengers side of the car here in the states! We are going to make Jeremy drive back to Conneticut anyway so we can enjoy the meatball sandwiches that Jeremy is going to supply us with. Better yet we'll let Guy drive and see if he can remember to stay on the right hand side of the road! That should make the trip a bit more interesting.

When Guy makes his stateside appearance (notice I used the when and not if Guy!) the first thing we are going to do is drive up and kidnap you for sure Jeremy. Heck your missus might even pay us to get rid of you for a couple of days I bet. Then were going to the rifle range and shoot of at least a couple of hundred round or until our shoulders can't take it anymore then off to the nearest pub that serves Black&Tans! Make sure you bring bail money and a clean pair of shorts.

After I make my appearance over in blighty I full expect you to come here and visit. We'll even go up to Rhode Island and kidnap Jeremy and force him to drink British beer until he pukes!                                                                                              Soulcrusher

Haha.. if you can talk that crazy Brit into taking a swim, I'm down for some drinking! I'm not scared! Except for that whole kidnapping thing... seems kinda scary in the trunk.

As for my whirly-magiga-bob-o-matic, I kinda screwed up the canopy. I gave it too much of a squeeze (thinking of Guy again) to line it up and crazed the plastic.

Oh well... I'll just have to get a new one now.

It would definetely add to you already manly stature there Guy. You show up in the States and I will guarantee she is all yours until your shoulder can not take it anymore. That is usally about 50 rounds for most people. She kicks like a mean mule!

Guy plenty of Black&Tan's to be had in the pub's around here and you will definetely never find any warm beer here in the States. Where has Jeremy gone? Off building his silly things with the spinny thins on the top? We can make him supply us with meatball sammy's for the trip back from his house after we kidnap him too. I'm not sure though if you jumped in the video when you fired that little pop gun firing the Garand might really give you a scare. It like firing a small cannon! Makes you feal very manly when your done.

Dave thx for the 'Penny shot' That is just so freeking awesome. How do you do it. And it actually looks like a Seagull.   

Dave sorry for the broken linky, here try these,
http://wp.scn.ru/en/ww2/b/29/32/0/13 or http://wp.scn.ru/en/ww2/b/29/32/0/1

Dave, I reckon kidnapping Dave sounds like a cracking idea. Do you sell English beer up your way? Long as its not warm, were cooking.   

Right, with you all called Dave, now there is only one person to blame DAVE!!!
