Fleet Air Arm Group Build

 List? Like an inventory? What a novel idea?  No No if I need to make a list that means I have too many!

You know what is bad is I really don't buy all that many at once. If I see something I like or a deal maybe but it is just from years of the hobby. Started when I was about 10 years old.

Well I fine lotta help you pirates are! The model wall collasped down apon me! I was nearly killed and all you guys want to do is divy up the loot!

But it gave me an idea on how to keep you scoundrals at bay!  A super styrene deadfall bobby-trap! Touch the wrong model in the wrong order and ka-ploohee! Indiana Jones would be proud!

Pity about the wife though but someone had to test it!

Man nice of y'all to volunteer!  Actually my real headache is the ones I need to repair. I have more old built kits than stash actually but 90% are in various states of disrepair from years of moving and  generally crappy skills. Hey gotta learn on something right? I am trying to devote one closet to unbuilt stash and another to parts and repairs. I watched the Highlander movie last night (thanks Tango!) and was thinking how great it would be to be immortal! ( may get 1/2 my kits done before the end of time!)  Funny thing was at the end when he is the last one, his prize was to be able to have children and die?  I mean couldn't he have won the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders or something?  Who writes this stuff?!  Here is where I am thus far haven't figured out how to see whats behind what though?

I'm do you want us to pick out which ones we want?  It would be better if you post a list with name, scale, brand things that would help us to help you decide what to send us

Roy, my wife says the same thing too but I have the new manspace for my models now that needs to be filled up.  When I show her photos of other guys model stashes and what their supposed to look like she just keeps rolling her eyes. lol

Need to have the whole crew come over and build! Sad to say I think I have enough I could repair to last me forever...... ACK!

Texas is a bit far, but if you ship them up I'd be glad to help out!

 Looks like FEMA standards to me. I hate to get buzzed on rum and try to find my room......

 Been cleaning out my closets today. I am afraid my lack of organization has reached it's limit! I literally need a shovel to get through my closets and see what all I have. Y'all need to shoot me if I buy another model! That's all I gotta say! Anybody else have a large stash to manage? Geeze I have seen hobby stores that wish they had this kinda inventory!

 Need to have the whole crew come over and build! Sad to say I think I have enough I could repair to last me forever...... ACK!

To the contrary, it's VERY hurricane proof! Consider this- unlike those who "settle" for a permanant house, you actually have the option of just rolling out of the way!

Only thing PBR is good for is making white trash birthday cakes apparently. We are all in agreement that is some nasty stuff.. Once in a blue moon Aaron will drink a German beer.  I personally think that a nice glass of Merlot is much better.

Love yellowwings in general and the oft overlooked neutrality star in particular! 1/72?.....is that.....like, HO scale?

Screwed up the post.....nested my quote comments....sorry!

Hmmmmmm big wildcat and little wildcat! Good timing John! It sure looks well done to me! I love the colors you did ! That yellow / silver scheme is tough to get right and yours is pretty as a picture! I was comparing the Wildcat in the Nov FSM issue to the one Dee and I just built. It is a F4F-3 like yours ! You have the gutsier paint job though, Bondo you is a hopeless case...... The one birthday present I am truly giving myself is to turn off any an all political commercials/ programs. It has already gotten to the point where you can't tell the pigs from the men. Thanks Frank! I was gonna ask what you and Katie were up too next?

John and Dee,

Nice jobs on your 'Cats.  I've got a -3 and -4 in the queue after I get my Tigercat finished.  Was gonna do some painting on them this morning, mixed up some interior green and promptly discovered my airbrush was kaput.  John, saw your plane and the the little light bulb went off in my head.  I've got some pics of a squadron mate of your build.  I took some pics of the -3 at the Naval Air Museum in Pensacola when I was there last fall.  It's the same squadron, but the cowl ring, chevrons, and fuselage band are a bright blue.  Must be a different echelon, don't understand the inter-war schemes.

Aaron,

Happy Birthday dude!  Hope you got some cool kits and some better beer, PBR is rough.  With regards to Dee's Wildcat, hers is a -4.  Main noticeable differences between the -3 and the -4 is the -4 has folding wings and 3 guns in each wing.  The -3 was a solid wing and had two guns in each wing.

 Thanks guys..... Things are fuzzy  I had better go lay down.

Please make the bad man stop!

Well whaddya know.....

Aaron!!!!

Well as long as we're still kickin' around bond girls there is another that ain't been mentioned yet that has always caught my eye.  Pretty little French actress by the name of Sophie Marceau.  She played the bad girl in "World is Not Enough".

OH, she's a real doll! After having seen her as the Princess in Braveheart, It was quite an adjustment for me to see her as a villan! But she sure did have the curves...

WOW That PBR is some rough stuff!
