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

Thanks for the comments everyone.  I think it looks pretty cool with that huge torpedo slung under it.  Anyway, I'm going to try to finish it up sometime this week and then dive into my corsair for the FAW GB.

Dave , super cool cammo job and your skills with an A/B is brilliant. Diggin that torpedo slung under it also

Steve

Nice Dave. You've more patience than I with that paint. Won't you meet me for lunch sometime so i can touch your shirt. Maybe some of that a/b mojo will rub off on me. I'd like to see some final pics  so I can see what you do with the control surface trenches.

Yeah, guy wont like the fact the Frankster is attempting to divert your attentions, but if all it takes to get a 109 from Frank.......

Your looking Hunky as hell! You optivisor wearing adonis.

...Guy

 Guy is Ace and I wish I were his son! 

 Fiat CR-32 Freccia!

I bought a set of the little blue plastic Airfix 1/72 italian guys yesterday. Figure I can Frankenstein a few to look like little ramp dudes standing around the  beached a/c, for scale. I've started on the masks for the upper wing design, and glued the wing/engine with gunner  on it/wing assembly together.

Guy is Ace and he is my son. It's where his twisted sense of humour came from.

I saw youd finished the C#####r, so is that your new build? Or are you just shouting random plane names.....err....that sounds like kinda fun......WELLINGTON!!     STARFIGHTER!!...nope wasnt half as fun as i thought LOL.

...Guy

3 DAYS TO GO, YOU MUGS!!

I am thinking of doing a Bi-plane for the next RA project. Trying to get a ggod representation of as many diff types as possible for this wonderous GB!

Corsair still needs a few tweaks but is on hold for the moment no worries though. Mugs? Somebody has been watching too much Bugs Bunny!  I do agree that the early cartoons are wonderous pieces of American literature!

A biplane sounds like an awesome project. The Cr. 32 looks great too if that your choice. Whos kit have you got or are you going to get?

Eh - we will see, I am still pretty busy with the code name Pepsi  P-40 project

You read it right young man. And no blaming Dave, even though as we all know.........

...Guy

Hey I need a little slack here. I gave my camera away because I was'nt using it and never replaced it. I either have to go buy another which knowing how I shop I will have to buy the best one made and spend a fortune. Mabye I should call up my little Sister and just borrow hers for the day. She is right down the road a bit and I know she has a nice one. I will probally not have a use for one agian any time soon. Argh! Damn this homework Guy! Where are Wingus and Dingus when you need them!

Oh its all starting to hit home now isnt it eh? eh?

3 days to go SC!!

Just think of the homework that you'll get if the homework isnt completed. I want no excuses, you mugs. I did my masterpiece of Acadamey award standard with my MOBILE PHONE!!!! You all post pics with a digy camera, and ive never come across a digital camera without video function. So no whining or Aaron will be round with a big mucky stick, to give you a good prodding.

...Guy

 Ah HA! I just woke up!  Took care of your PM Guy! Still reading yours Sean! That Pepsi is coming along really well!  I may have to think up a project code named Orange Crush!  Those Revell kits really seem rewarding to me!

Gotta get some coffee!

Would you all believe that we got 4" of snow last night!!!    I was in another City nearby for work meetings yesterday and had a heck of a time getting home. All that snow is going to put a damper on my video plans.  May have to delay posting one until it warms up again Guy.

...and NO Aaron, I do not want to see any more pictures of your dandelion infested but very green for february yard.

Guy is Aces and I wish I were his son!

Frank is a hulkster!!!

Hey i got one of those Dave, and theyre all they are cracked up to be. It looks like its a stunner for sure. The only problem youd have with it is where to display it.

...Guy

 Hmmm I may have to suck it up and get one of those Ju-88's but it is really fancy compared to the vintage kits!

Bondo now that Beaufighter has some merit. I may go on the search! Bet it would be cool!

Dave funny you should mention it I just got done mowing. fertilizing and edging my front yard. Dee is deciding what she want's to plant in the flower beds.

 Snow what a laugh it's like 79 degrees out!

This Time It Is Dave's Fault

I'm thinking of spending my dineros on this revell beauty.

Dave - I tried Tower Hobbie first then Squadron as they are the main ones I deal with.

Thanks for the Linky.. 

I like dealing with Tower ~ they always have a $10.00 off coupon for spending $50.00 or more

Sean, your welcome.  If the wife asks why you bought it you know who to blame it on don't you!

Aaron, I don't think it's been released on this side of the pond yet.  Doesn't show up in any searches but Hannant's had it!  Currently showing as sold out.

Better price to begin with too!

You would probally love the old Revell 1/32 Beaufighter Aaron. I have one in the stash. Raised panel lines are ok but there is nothing in the cockpit but two seats and a instrument panel.  You basiclly would have to scratch build the whole interior. Sounds like fun right?
