Yes, good luck with your History degree OWL.  I truly hope they are teaching you the correct version of it (you can't be so sure anymore).

Indeed good luck with the exams Owl, I can sorta remember mine....

I feel left out now since I only minored in history and majored in biology (though my job involves mostly chemistry so go figure...) 

OWL,

Best wishes and good luck from across the pond as well.

But i must say it doesn't really surprise me to read you are a history major. I think all of us modelers must have an affinity for the subject since we are in a way recreating history with our models. Not only by building them but also think of the research (*ahem*) we do prior to and during a build...

For me i know i always wanted to be a history teacher someday when i was in highschool. Ended up at a college for social studies... (Dont ask)

Good Luck on the exams Owl!!  I too was a History Major, History and Political Science.. 

Hope you get to use the degree, but if not you may develop or nurture an interest in history and that is always good.

Models as a kid in the 60s got me interested in history.

Have fun with both!!

Yep. Why not.

Got both in the stash and only work done is the Vette engine body is glued together.

See ya

Scott

haha, thanks for the encouragement guys.  Good memory oddmanrush, I am indeed a history major.

Remember, Historians have all the answers, but no one listens!!!

Indeed, good luck on the exams. I believe you mentioned at one time you were a History major? Good stuff. I graduated in '07 as a History major. Lots of good reading and lots of papers to write. I certainly hope you get to do something with it.....I am currently a software tester, ha ha. Not what I had in mind when I was studying back then...but it pays for the kits now so I can't complain.

MAJ Mike

Good luck on your final exams.

thanks, MAJ Mike. I'm looking forward to getting school all finished for the semester. I'm ready for SUMMER!

If this GB is open to cars and (insect names).

How about my Monogram 1/25 67 Corvette Stingray? or Dragon 1/35 Sherman Mk.1c Firefly Gybrid?

Maybe both?

See ya, Scott

Yuppers, both of those will be eligible. Shall I put you down for both?

gamera, the front page has been updated with your entry. Don't feel too bad if you can't start right away. I wont be able to either: its the last few weeks of class before finals, so all my classes have really picked up, forcing me to put a halt on model making until summer.

I'll look forward to that wacky plane!

Cool,, their rare,, only 2 were made.. I have built the 1/72 version... this one will be 1/48

Owl: If you would please go ahead and put me down for the 1/48th Czech Model Ryan XF2R-1 Dark Shark. After building several limited run kits I said I'd swear off them for awhile but heck I'm feeling whimsical and willing to go with something whacky. Not sure when I'll be able to start though, maybe sometime this summer or early autumn.

BTW: Not surprised you've never heard of it since Ryan only built one. I'd only heard of it due to my passion for bizzare, weird, and off-beat subjects. And of course  it helped when Squadron had a pile of Czech Model kits on sale for 50% off so I grabbed about a half dozen different weird aircraft.

hey Owl,, I got a Goblin,, put me down for it.. 1/48, MPM I think is the manufacturer..

gotcha down, p38. We have one of those here at the SAC museum in Ashalnd, Ne.

Wow. Really? I guess I can't be surprised that there's a kit of that. But we can't get decent kits of the ones already out there. I wanna better Osprey you!!

Goblin is an animal??

Well it could be I guess,,,certainly is odd!

Can you hunt them??

 

Yes you can, but only once youve pulled excalibur from its resting place on jupiter. And even then you might have to wear century old night vision goggles made by Singaporean pixies exported to mars just to see the little buggers lol.

..but only in months with an "r" in them!!!

yup, both the Tomcat and Goblin are eligible candidates for this GB 

and so is this XF-85 goblin

yes it's good to go

iv just finished a tigershark which is a shame

i do have a tomcat in the stash though is that eligable?

Gamera

Ok, went though my stash and came up with:

F4F Wildcat

F6F Hellcat

F7F TIgercat

P-39 Airacobra

Do-335 Anteater

He-162 Salamander

I am assuming any of these would fit?

Though I'm leaning toward my 1/48 Czech Model Ryan XF2R-1 Dark Shark. Not only an odd name but the plane is a mutant freak herself with a prop on the nose and a jet engine in her tush. Sorta the Pushmepullyou of aeronatical engineering.

Yup, all of those will fit. That Dark Shark looks like an interesting build. I have to admit that I have never heard of that plane before.

no, a scimitar is a type of sword

tonka

Owl, can you add an Airfix S A BULLDOG 1/72 to my build. Found it in the stash, and need a reason to build it. May not be a Marine subject but it is called a Bulldog!!
