Fleet Air Arm Group Build

 That's fine Dave! Money is always tight especially this time of year! But uou don't have to decide right this moment! The offer is  good as long as I can get it!

 I need to be more like Billy Mayes! This can be yours for only 3 low payments! AND that's not all! If you act now, we will include a slightly used bandaid a $50 value! for no extra charge!

 Just lay back and smell the fresh opened box of cardboard and plastic fumes! Imagine yourself in the bathtub. This 52inch beast protecting you from all harm and would be sea monsters! Targeting rubber ducky at 11 o'clock!

 You deserve this Dave! It has your name written all over it! I shall call on you again tommorrow when your ready to show the world how committed you are to this hobby!

 ( now that's pushing styrene!)

 Man if I could be as smooth with the ladies!

Dave look at all this 1/72 scale goodness! How could she say no to that? That is one big sucker! The pieces ate the length of the box then you have to add more to both ends! Really much larger than the U-boat!

Nice one Frank!!!  

Aaron, you styrene pusher you!!!   Unfortunately the Candadian dollar has tanked based on the falling oil prices and the $40 really means $50 to me plus the shipping.  It's tempting but I'll pass for now.  I still have the Uboat in the stash anyway (but then so do you)!

Hows that SBD coming Nam? All done yet?

Nope, they aren't!  Do you know why they're so expensive?

PM Dave!!!! Just looked it up. About 1/2 off of $75 whats that like 40 something?

Around the cost of the new PBY

Oh yeah Nam! that bird is the tamest thing I have ever seen. Comes sits on your shoulder and whispers in your ear. Odd cuz I ain't exactly an animal fan. Never been pooped on though. The Snake however has grown and is on mean sob! It's a corn snake very colorful. Thin and about 5 foot long now! Very good if you had a barn. (which I don't)

Right you are Dave! Do you have the 1/72 Gato yet? Reason I ask is I think the PX website has them dirt cheap with free shipping! That's how I got mine! Let me know!

Define dirt cheap?!?  Might cost me my marriage at this point after the bag load I brought back from Vancouver and last I heard divorces were not cheap!

Of course there is also the Snake room and the Bearded Dragon Room and the Bunny Room! and the dog just sits and watches TV.

I noticed she used the word "YET".  I'd take that as a very positive sign Aaron.   In the meantime if you need somewhere to store those very large 1/72 submarines I've got room for them.

 Wow I guess you got the B-24 J  already at the bottom center! Got the old Revell B17F too somewhere about! The B-17 and B29 are still in the Hobby Lobby stores by my house. Let me know if you need one!

The Super Fortress is right above the bottom B-24 with moving tape still on the box from the Army movers

November 11th..... You're referring to the closing shots of WWI by British Artillery?

That date sticks out in my mind as familiar, but I can't quite put my finger on it...

Thanks Aaron, if you can't find it don't worry. I'm pretty sure that it's still out there. I picked up a PE set for one at the last model show and need a kit for it now lol. Will keep looking.

I'm digging through all my boxes if you can't tell Ritchie. It will turn up I'll post pics when it does and see if it's usuable for ya!

Roger Hooah! Nov 11 th coming up!

Aaron I know the frustration and jubilation you feel at finally getting your other engine! Prolly the same way I felt when I finally got my other PE bits for the 'bag after roughly 6 @$$@%$%! months. By the way, you wouldn't happen to have a 1/72 Hasegawa Ki-61 Tony in there would ye?

Hmmmm that falls into the other catagory as built and in pieces from 1989 t0 1991 time frame. If it is the same kit you are thinking of.  It is the KI-100 that had a metal seat and landing gear. It also came with another sprue that had the regular Ki 61 fuselage in it. You could build it either way.

 That is really far out as my 1/72 scale kits are limited. I build what I did as a child scale wise so I stick mostly to 1/48. Thanks Monogram and Shepard Payne!  I do have a lot of 1/72 planes in the do something with pile from years ago like that.

 I remember the Ki-61 distinctly because it was in the store for like $30 plus bucks. I looked at it everytime I went into the store mostly because I couldn't believe a 1/72 scale teeny little plane was $30. Neither could anyone else apparently it never sold so the store owner sold it to me for $5 convinced that it was a pricing error.

If you would like I will search for the remains and see if I have anything salvageable. Might be fixable. I built it as the Ki100 so if I can find the Ki61 sprue may be a possibility! Your Corsair needs a mate!  That's all asumming it isn't in production anymore.

What?!?!? You have "targets" in your stash!!!!! Oh, say it ain't so!!!!!!

Well I could still walk in at that point Dave! What if I need a kit in the bottom corner after I filled it up! I still have the other closet filled with what I call the PITA kits!

 Vacuform. resin. PE, just challenging beast in general!  Ran outta room! That's it one of the kids gotta go!

Raider If you noticed I piled the booby-trap very tall with you in mind!

 Needless to say I did not feel the need to shop for another kit for the gift exchange ! I only hope the receipiant enjoys what I chose for his gift! WAH HAHHAHAHAA! evil laugh!

 Of course I will be satisfied with some Tamiya Tape and glue after today! Just got another UPS notice of delivery! You won't believe it after all this time they are finally shipping my other Ventura engine!  Been like forever!
