Officer's just don't have a sense of humour!!! CAG, I noticed on the front page that my build for the NAW has not been posted.  I would like to do a 1/72 Tamiya F4U -1A Also, sir if it's not too much trouble my FAA build was a 1/72 Vista offering and not 1/48 scale as posted.   I'll be swabbing the decks if you need me Sir!!!

My apologies Lt. It shall be rectified forthwith!!

Hi Everyone,

Can I jump on board at this late stage please ? I am building a 1/72 Hellcat II in FAA overall midnight blue. I've got the thing together, but it's not painted yet. I've used the Academy kit, with some modified Verlinden resin bits for the cockpit and engine. I had to modify them to make them fit ! I've attached some photos. It's been a while since I've done a GB, but it's time I got back into it.

Don't let the image names fool you, I've changed my mind, it's going to be FAA, not Aeronavale.

Cheers

Tony Mollica

Great looking progress CAG!  I must admit- I have never considered a Gunfighter for my collection until seeing yours.  Thank you for sharing- and for adding another one to my wish list!

Thats what I was thinking, but I think the Prop Gang on the shelf would Revolt.

I fear you're gonna need a mortician when Dee gets her mitts on you my friend.  Too bad, I liked you!

Dee- Free models?  I have always been nice to you, haven't I?

ACK!!!

The CAG be roamin' the decks with that bewildered gaze upon his salty face.  Back to your cabin Sir, the nurses insist!

I just checked Alibris.com used book clearinghouse. They have 14 copies from $7 to $72....(don't know what their client is thinking of!)

I usually buy bottom line from them..........never have been disappointed and they ship fast!

They simply represent used book dealers trying to unload books!

Great resource!

HTH

Hello Chaps!

another flying visit! I have been most impressed with the fine work going on around here and will officially welcome our new crew members in due course-right now I'm racing at warp-speed pace to get my F-4E finished and to move my Crusader along!

New guys!! Please PM me your kit/build details so I don't forget to add them to our P.1 roll.

In the meatime..........relax, build kits and drink rum!!

ENJOY!!

Behold the wide load!

A HA! I opened my box that contained the SS gift! All that was in it was some crumpled wrapping paper and an empty plastic bag from Hobby Town USA. Hmmm then I found the culprit! Seems Dee was so struck by the fact that the secret Santa included her that she went nuts wrapping and decorating and even put on a Santa hat. The best part of the day was it completely interupted my daughter and her boyfriend. You can see how happy it made her!  The Burl Ive's singing Holly Jolly Christmas was just too cool!  My thanks to who ever you are! Your a real Bud!
