Fleet Air Arm Group Build

I'm with the rest of the group, the shirt is under the jacket. 

Katie, nice picture

 That's Rich Darren! Ha HA HA ! Dee has a skirt like that but it's pink toned.

 Willow Dee? Willow!?! What are you thinking?

 Hmm I think I beg to differ....

If we are going to have men in dresses.. might as well live it up

There can only be one................

 TANGO1!

Thanks for lending me that shirt material for my kilt Frank!

Roger it is common Knowledge that the one and only CAG (Darren) is 102 years young. He has simply discovered at a young age that clean living and a high blood alcohol % maintains body tissue much like phamaldihyde.  He has been so sucessful in the endevor to maintain this 120 proof blood % that he is thinking of making his own. Highlander movie! There can be only one!

Lookin good, Darren! You look alot younger than I would guessed. I thought maybe a little older and wisdomous (new word for the day). I'm guessing you are about my age- early 30s?   I'm gonna dig around and see if I got anything more interesting on my computer...

Thanks! I turn 36 this month! And yes, I am most wisdomous indeed!!

Great pics Darren!  Love that one with the Tornado. I have this one where I'm wearing a different shirt!  See?  I DO have more than one. I also found another one of Katie:

Right back at ya Frank!

I still think you have that shirt underneath your coat! Thats a great shot of you with the Viper and thats a lovely photo of Katie-she's stunning!

You are a very lucky chap my friend.

Nice pic Katie! A My Space masterpiece! The Turtleneck is the bane of us Night dwelling types however.  I am the Count and I love to count! HAHAHAHAHHA!  ( Halloween spirit)

I bet the blue flannel is underneath the fleece!!!  Any takers?

As for Katie's picture   Maybe she needs some blue flannel too so you guys can match.

Actually that looks more of a fleece zippered jacket. I dunno if that counts.......

Beautiful picture of Katie though! I remember that turtleneck sweater...the former Mrs. had one

It's definately a good movie, but I tell ya, i really don't know anything about japanese aircraft. Though I admit between Franks build and the movie and other books read recently, I'm interested in adding a zero to the stash. But I just couldn't tell if it was a -2, -3 or whatever. Needless to say, something like that would demand research......

If you can just scowl a little more, and explain to me again how to do algebra with multiple variables, then you would be a dead ringer for one of my professors when I was in college! Come to think of it, He probably had a glass of rum when he went home too...    I love putting faces to names, here! It would be totally awesome if we were ever able to actually meet at the same place at the same time though.....      Oh, and whoever pulls Franks name for the gift exchange, maybe throwing in another shirt may not be a bad idea? Just a thought...

Well, as we are all posting pics of ones self..........this is me, photo was taken by my son when we were up in the lake district last month.

......and me being introduced to the RAF's Tornado F.3.............

He's fast asleep....  zzzzzzzzzzzzz

ENEMY DIVE BOOOOMMMBERRR!!!

 That Movie ( Midway) Has a special meaning in my house. For some reason when my kids were smaller they would run around pointed at the ceiling screaming " Enemy Dive Bombers!"  Right before the last Jap carrier gets it is when that line is in the movie I think. To this day including last night when I went to work the wife and kids were pointing at the TV yelling that. Just a throw back from days gone by for us I guess.

 I can't believe you all got the wife building a model.  Who would figure?

 Roger I am sure Frank will tell you that the Midway version of the Zero is an A6M2. At least he would if he were not a cardboard cut out. My only explanation for the fact he is always dressed the same.

Bed time for me now. Was a long night and now the sun is up!

Roger here presenting to you tonights non-sequiter.......

They got "Midway" playing on AMC tonight. I'd forgotten how much I loved the aerial combat footage in this movie. But it kinda sets Franks "Zeke" in 1/32 to mind.......

Congrats Rog!!!! I just realized I have went over 500!!!! WOOHOO!!! Two parties, more rum! Dee, hope you enjoy your build! Aaron, thanks! As for my books, I wish I could find cheap genuine wood bookcases that won't sag under the weight. This pulpboard crap just doesn't hold up!

That is quite a library ya got too! In looking at what ya got, I noticed a few books there that I've got as well. Buyt I'm with ya on the bookshelves. I've got similar ones myself- the $30 bookshelves at Walmart. I could certainly use some good quality furiture myself

Rog hit 1,500 posts!

Cant celebrate for too long- I'm shooting for 2,000 posts! But I'm learning that it's hard work just coming up with stuff to say, at times!

But I sure do love round numbers.....

Greg, if you want to join the FAA/NAW Christmas gift exchange PM me your mailing address, scale and era/type of aircraft you would like.

If there is anyone else who has not signed up (DEE) PM me with the information.

Did a bit of work on my Corsair pit.  The resin True Details set has two radio boxs that are no bigger than a pin head  Frank perhaps I could borrow your SUPER Optivisors?

Aaron PM inbound.

When will we get to page 300
