What in the world?  What is this sub build secret society thing happening?

 Condors and Griefs and Auntie Ju's  Oh my!

Guy where did you get that He 126 in 1/48? I have been looking for one of those!  I can't bring myself to pay the price for the FM kit knowing it would be easier to whittle my own!

Spill the beans!  Show me brand cost and quality!  Inquiring minds want to know!

 So what are the rules for this new secret society of German Multi's? What qualifies?  What doesn't?  Is there a dress code?

That make Two of us ...Gen. Patton , Sir  !

Somewhere I have hid away a stash of 1/72 Ju 88's with conversion kits to make different varients.. I wonder where I have those boxed away at ?

To you enquirers of the HS-126, heres 2 links for you. The 1st is the company. (They make fantastic engines BTW) and the 2nd is a review from Brett Green.

At the show where i picked it up, there was no waiting or deliberation. I saw it and laid the card down. It had to be mine. One was resently built in Scale aviation modeller, i think? It looked gorgeous.

Muwahahahaha, we have the Simpilot hooked. Whos next?

...Guy

Awwww geeeezzz, just when I thought I had managed to break away from this insanity I get pulled back in again. I have a JU-88 I am currently building for another GB that if his highness Guy will allow I will post progress here. I have just buttoned up the cockpit on it so you be the judge on that. Here is where she is.

I also have my HE-177 by Airfix that has been in my stash since 1978 just beggin to be built in all its flawed excellence. IMMM BAAAACCCCCKKKKK

Steve

Whats up with that Bondo, something we should know about?????

Steve

Oh yeah? And what would old Fupesy know anyhoo? Anyone who wears Lycra is deffo a bit odd.

I need some help PDQ. Who has the Tamiya P-47D in thier stash? That is the build im trying to do in a hurry, just so's i can embed myself here with multi-engined lovliness.

The kit im building is Tamiyas P-47 M. They are very similar and im going on the instructions by using the parts it says 'DO NOT USE', to make the 'D' model. The problem is a few of the bits it says dont use (That ive got too) dont appear to go anywhere, Hence the instructions needed. 1st to scan them in, wins a prize.

Anyhoo, since yesty, this is where im at with it,

I bought these decals to tart up the sidewalls and countless other uses. Theyre great. Go get some,

So ill let the glue go off for 24hrs and then attack the seams. Its being built mostly OOB but im getting the urge to wire the engine.

Oh, i got a German book on the JU-290. Lovely jubbly. Loads of corking pics. Anyhoo, get scanning, i need this finished.

...Guy

Hello all,  I thought I'd try and post some update photos of my RA build.  So far, so good.  I am moving along on the interior.  I've managed to get a lot of the little bits done: engines, seats, instruments  etc.  I added some strip in the interior before painting.  I am working on the guns right now.  I replaced the barrels with brass tube, and added the kit flash hiders.  Unfortunately, I forgot to bring my green paint to work with me, so I am kind of on hold with putting the fuselage interior together.

I ordered the same book Guy bought.  I figure that ought to be a great read!  Although I don't join in on the banter, I really enjoy reading it.  I check here for new posts before anywhere else.

As for the sub-build, I might join in if I can finish off some other things first.  Those condors and 290's are really cool.

Take  care,

You've got more metal for one plane than I've used in the last 10 years! Nice work so far... she's sure gonna look lovely when you're done with her.

Steve, that is some stunning work on the Ju88!!!! It fits the sub build theme thats for sure!!! Looking forward to seeing more of this one!!

Guy,The P-47 is looking GREAT!!!!! I tried to find instructions online but no luck. Hope someone has it in their stash for you!

Greg, SM79 is looking great!! That is alot of PE and I like it!!!

Damn you, ok, ill go and do it now. After the seams are sanded. Ill post an update later.

Bondlikins, any luck at your LHS. You need some muscle?

...Guy

Jeez! Spend a couple of days on the hospital and everything gets out of hand. Guy's bangin' on about a multi engine GB and building a P-47 M as a D version without the instructions and no one even noticed I was gone. Well first things first. Guy here are your instructions for the 1/48 Tamiya P-47 D.

http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10031547

Second sign me up with the old MPC 1/72 He 177 that has been lurking in my stash forever. The landing gear and doors even work on this kit. Plus it comes with the Henschel radio guided missles. Might have to scare up some decals but it should be a pretty neat subject.

So Guy what prize have I won?

Yey Micheals back. Did you get out of the Hozzy with all your bits and bobs still attached? What was up with you? Nothing serious i hope. (You proll told me at some point but i feel my memory is going these days)

I noticed you were gone, in fact i noticed everyone was gone. And guess whos fault it is!! Yup Dave with his Weekend worrier GB. Ive been scuppered as my 2 day window on tuesday and wednesday is now down to 1 day. Overtime has been offered and, seeing as im seriously poor at the moment, i have to take it. Thyre funny like that, if you refuse, they dont offer you any when you really need it.

I cant quite remember where the idea for a multi engined sub section of this GB came from, but im glad it did. If i get into the swing of it, ill probably crack out the Piaggio after the Ju-290. Your 177 sounds spot on. Cracking subject, Grommit.

As for what you win, how about the Adulation of your Illustrious leader. The P-47 BTW is getting real close to paint (NMF) woo hoo.

...Guy

As I suspected it had to be Dave's fault for some reason I'm sure. I had to make an unschedueled visit to the hospital due to some severe stomach pain. They fixed me up with some meds and sent me on my way for now. At some point I'm going to have to have the little camera shoved up my nose and down my gullet to see what the source of the problem is. I did manage to leave with everything I arrived with so I'm chuffed about that! Looks like a bland diet for now.

Did the instructions help or had you already figured out were everything went already? Definetly bookmark that page if you do not have it. That websight has the instructions for every Tamiya and Hasegawa kit that is in production right now. Even the color profiles with the paint call out which are great if you are build a similar subject with poor or non-existent call outs like any Trumpeter kit.

 Dag gone Mike! I send Herman out looking for ya and your in the Hospital?  Mobbed by teenage girls again?  We have been busy over at the weekend GB Dave is running this weekend! I finished and couldn't believe this when I read it!  SC!  In the hospital!  Get well buddy!  Hope it is just that old Meatball sandwich Jeremey mailed to ya!  I told him not to send it parcel post!

 Guy trying to bow out?  Whats up? Work getting the best of ya?

 Whipped this little thing up in about a day!  Everything has gotten quiet over there now how strange?

Quite an impressive feat there Sarge. I am sure you were the driving force whipping everyone along over there. As for me I am hoping all the pain was just an ulcer and will heal over time with the right diet. Man that hurt like heck! It really sucks getting old! Anyway I'm not dead yet so lets build some more models!

                                                                                    Soulcrusher

The hospital?  Man, I am glad to hear things are relatively OK, and you are home!  I was wondering why I hadn't seen you recently.  Now quit scaring us!  Hope you are felling better my friend.

BTW, I saw this video on youtube, and thought of you!  Not sure whether you remind me more of Scott Baio or Ralph Macchio.

Soulcrusher

Well I guess it is true that things happen in threes! First Sarge gets sick then you have you little racing accident then I end up in the hospital. Enough of that for now. I probally have some more poking and proding in my future as I was order to have the old stomach looked at literally but I am no longer in horrible pain so that a big plus! That is the third time I have been hospitalised and I can tell you from first hand experience. A hospital is no place to be when you are sick. Anyone that has spent any amount of time in a hospital understands me. I mean they make you take your clothes off and the tempature is like 60 degrees in there. I almost froze to death before the doctor even saw me!

I actually look a bit more like Andy Garcia than Scott Baio or Ralph Machio in person. Mabye I will have Andy Garcia do my next video instead of Scott Baio!

So I do'nt know if you noticed Frank but Guy was taunting you about the upcomming secret Axis multi-engine GB. I do'nt think there are any rules or a start or end date yet. I do'nt know if it is giong to happen but if Guy starts his Piaggio then I will build my old 1/72 MPC Heinkel He-177.
