Would put a bare bones JG in the pilot house this night.Pirate [oX)]

Nam,

As a bare bones JG, you certianly appear qualified to man the pilot house tonight!  Glad to see someone's got their eyes on the wheel.  Just think, only 9 more days before the FAW kicks off! Big Smile [:D]

Gentlemen, this will not do!  The FAA/FAW GB on the BOTTOM of page 1?  One week until the FAW kicks off, there should be some excitement brewing!!! Party [party]Tongue [:P]Propeller [8-]Make a Toast [#toast]

I'm so excited.......and I just can't hide it!

.....especially since I have barely a week to build this SeaGlad which only has rudimentary paint on it. No excuses.....just bad time budgetting. .....and it's cold in that basement!

Hmmm... still don't have a kit for the FAW but there is a hobby show coming to town April 5th.  Not sure what to expect being a small city and all but I'm hoping to pick up a Corsair.  Otherwise it will have to wait until summer as I've vowed not to order on-line for awhile (something to do with that credit card balance Whistling [:-^]).

ATTEN-SHUN!!!

ALL HANDS ON DECK! 

Five days until the men of the combined fleet GB embark on their next mission.  Gentlemen, it has been a pleasure serving here with you for the past year.  I am VERY excited as our new mission gets underway, and am really looking forward to seeing the work to be displayed here soon.  I know the CAG will be on deck soon to wish us all good luck, but I just wanted to express that here now. 

Three cheers for the FAAGB!

About the same as a few weeks ago.  I got started on a couple of other builds & kinda forgot about it.  But I'll finish her up soon.

How do I get onboard been out of action for awhile with work and life. I think Id like to either  do the F3F-2 from Grumman, or TBF Avenger from Grumman, both kits are Acruate Minatures. These will be OOB.

"ATTENTION ON DECK!"

Gentlemen,

I wanted to take time to pay a small tribute to our friend Rick. When I asked the groups help to locate a very rare set of Seafire decals, not only did he find them-but he sent me the very same set from his own collection asking nothing in return. They arrived on my doorstep yesterday in perfect condition. Thank you!Bow [bow]Bow [bow]Bow [bow]

I am often touched by the generosity of my friends here and again this has shown me the great comradeship we have here.

Rick, you are a true gentleman and I salute you.
