The In My Stash GB

Ya know, technically there is only 1 other active GB with more pages than ours.  Unfortunately, given their predisposition to spout endlessly off-topic about rum, crumpets, waitresses, and everything else with the occasional on-topic build thrown in  (in Brit speak no less by mostly non-Brits), we may have trouble catching up to them. 

Goofy bunch in that GB, but they do appear to have fun in their own way. 

Anyhoo, another post closer to page 100!

Given how much you're pushing one particular build, I'll help you out....by going out of my way to pick something else   Of course, maybe that's what you want....hmm, I see your game. 

Too bad I can't pick something from someone else's pile for your pick   Man, that would kick this GB idea in a whole different direction.  Like combining the Secret Santa GB with the IMS GB.  Ugh, what a logistical nightmare

There are only three other Group Builds with more pages than ours. We must keep posting.

Please refer to the In My Stash Redux GB all is explained there.

Tony what's all this (Thud....)ing you having problems getting a grip on your stash and droping stuff or is this some shameless plug for another GB

Cheers

ps I hope you put some air holes in the box before returning the Furrball back to the stash

The decals keep silvering and the cat won't stay still long enough to shave her. The cat seems to have developed a nasty rash from the Microsol. I think I will have to put her back in the stash until it cures fully.

Tony I like your persistance in the quest for the turttle award however since your cat has some model bits in it I suggest you put some decals on it and present it as a sister build to the Fireball.  You could call it Furrball    Sorry it's Friday and it looks like a loooong day.

Mist the B-25 looks good

Lord Kenny looking fwd to more pics

Cheers

Thud.........

A quick search dug up this on Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier_Air_Wing_One What I haven't had the chance to find out is how many aircraft are in a squadron.  I can't dork around too much at work Regardless, if the kit comes with 24 then I don't think any of us would expect you to do more than that.  Just my

Speak for yourself arki!!  Kenny's the one who mentioned (bragged?  boasted? ) having 48 aircraft - I wanna see all those little buggers crammed on that flight deck.  Best get paintin' oh Exalted One

thanks mist lets see who posts that very last pic and wins the award lol

Don't go dislocating your arms, patting yourselves on the back for winning that award!  I'm still lurking in the shadows, patiently waiting.... for page 100....

As I recall (and without going back and looking at your pics) the hanger bay doors on this kit are down?

Ah ha, found it!

Clearly you do not have a full air wing in the set.  But that makes sense because you'd be hard pressed to display them all anyway.  Likely the 24 aircraft set is a sampling of what was aboard for the particular time frame of the kit.

thanks for the link arki i am gonna have to find one of those navy boys to tell me how many really are on the ship.

i think the 24 it comes with are good enough dont you mist ?? lol 

Nu-uh.  I want that thing accurate or no go.

i think i will have to bend the rules for you tg even with the missing parts i call your build complete due to technical difficulties out of your control :)

It's good to be the king!!! 

Tony, you're persistant I'll give you that.

Well, kenny.  Is it just between us for the Turtle award?  We are both about in the same place of completion.  Your Big E is looking very sharp my man

EH HUM! Did you forget something??!!!

The Fireball will NEVER be officially complete unless I strap it on the back of my part-eating cat (and I won't) so remember per my discussion the award is MINE it has been renamed "THE TONY GREGORY MEMORIAL TURTLE HONORARIUM"    GOT IT??!!

BTW great progress on the builds which you will COMPLETE!

Ouch, I'm almost sorry I was right.   

Nah, not really.

In all seriousness, how many aircraft are included?
