We had this well endowed gal in our unit in Japan and being a newbie we sent her up to maintenance to get a maint manual, BA-1100-NS. Bless the poor gal she was sent from office to office with the note so everyone could get in on the joke.

Kenny, thanks for the badges, got them tonight.

Welcome again dupes. I have a Tamiya duce and a half and from what I see it's going to be a great kit.

Hey, if you guys really don't mind me getting in on this build late, i've got a 1/48 scale Academy F-16C I've been plugging away at for the last month or two that I sure hope is done before the end of the month. I never rode/drove/flew it, but I saw one once.

We sent one of the new crew dogs over to shops to see if they had a left handed screwdriver,some pretwisted safety wire, and a calibration stamp for a crescent wrench.....he was not to happy. When I was a civilian I told my new guy that the pilot relief tube was a rudimentary intercom system so that we could talk to each other while we were doing bulkhead leak tests. Talk about really not happy.......some one spilled the beans about a month later. He filled my toolbox drawers with pink grease Enjoy fellas the builds are spectacular!   JOSH

Hey R-Cman,

That's a great build.

You weren't joking about needing a crane.

That is massive.

Good job.

Mark

Try AFV for a duece and a half.

By the way I need 500 ft of flight line and a gallon of prop wash from supply.

RC, great build

i am always looking at the thread as i am sure the others do if you want to jump in that is fine with us. as for the duece and a half not sure about that. have to look around and see.

Oh lordy...I almost forgot about the box of grid squares. I seem to remember trying to get some private to find a stack of ID-10T forms at Bn HQ one time though...

Ahhh, I doubt I could get anything done by the deadline - unless I built a 1/1 scale chair from Staples or something. I'd love to get in on the build, but I think I'll have to hold off until the next one.  Now that I know this build thing exists (see what happens when I look in the "other" forums?) I'll be sure to get in on the next one. And seriously, I didn't ride/drive/fly ANYTHING other than a deuce and a half. How lame an army career was that?

Welcome dupes, I think Verlinden make an office set for ya, hehehehehe.

Steve

hey dupes listening to static , reminds me of when we always got the new guys to go to supply and try to get a can of squelch or a box of grid squares. yes i once was one of those new guys lol.

what would you plan on building ?

kenny

Well done on your build RC. That is a very sweet aircraft and a monster to boot. Good job.

Steve

looking good rc finally finished that monster :) and anytime for the GB badge was my pleasure

kenny

Well thank Grandad, the Crane has finished the work for me on this monster of a build. The final height was 6 1/2 inches tall but I hope that you all like it as always comments and questions are welcome. Kenny, thanks again for the GB gif. files

And again I hope that you all like it.

HOLY COW that is huge rc cant wait to see the finished product she is coming along nicely

Come on now we all know that you want to say something more. Use thought process for the word "COW". But thanks for the good word it should be done tonight as soon as the CRANE shows up.

Also Kenny I am having problems with the GB badges. I cant seem to get them.

Progress to report is that this huge thing should be done this afternoon.

All that I am waiting for is the crane and support teams to lift the Radome and sit it in place.

It is 26 inches long and 25 inches wide not sure how tall it will be.

Josh and Kenny. Congrats on the finishing of the Hummers. They both look great, kinda like a before and after photos. Both turned out very well and should sit proudly on your shelves. Actually great builds by all in this GB. Gentlemen, it's been a pleasure building with you all. I look forward to seeing some of the other builds finishing up. Keep up the good work guy's.

Steve

Kenny and Josh

Great looking hummer's

Mark

Thanks for your comments

Steve

Kit was Italeri's 1/48th scale AH-1T
