Fleet Air Arm Group Build

 Darren! Is he ok? I thought maybe he did not survive the attack on his secret workshop by the dog raiding party!

 Nam you think that's bad! You should see what she was making for the pilot out of putty!

Checked on the ok's on having a what if on this build and Darren didn't give the wave off so....

One navalised P38 coming up.

All the best.

Well < According to Roy I have sniffed to many fumes already...

  Must be that Canadian Rum from Barbados? I dunno but am I seeing Dee with a model? Holy cow! Thats as shocking as Nam in a Cheerleader skirt (almost)

 Well I guess I had better grab me a bottle and hang on for the ride! Could get bumby if I'm lucky!

Ritchie that engine is fantastic in that small scale if I forgot to mention it. Almost as impressive as your hat and book collection!

Roger and Dave I think the drinking thing is in the teachers union agreement. Roy just has to pay his dues.

 I was just thinking about the Same shirt thing with Frank. Perhaps it isn't Frank at all but a scale figure Katie has made to fool us. 

 Dee is out looking for a job ( again) I keep wondering what she will be when she grows up?

Wow Roy, you actually do look like a school teacher!

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.....

 When will you start?

haha you mean the dog isnt building it?

Well I am actually trying to find a real job today ... but soon as I find a clear space to actually work. And I would have to find some cutters and some glue........ he hides the glue ya know..

Dee, the dog has good taste  When will you start?  Also are you going to join our little gift exchange?

Richie, I will play around with some ideas.  May have to remove the molded on harness and see what I can do from there.  I like the gloss blue look of the Korean War Corsairs, Very Cool

Roy, I attached the wires in locating holes. The harness I made from a styrene strip and attached it to the pushrods which left juuuuuuuuussssttt enough of a gap between it and the crankcase for a convincing look. the harness on this model R-2800 isn't round like earlier versions. I used a #80 drill bit as well. The markings are going to be VMF-214 in the Korean conflict. Had a time finding those decals.

I let the dog choose what model we are building and this is what she chose..

1:32 Scale F4F-4 Wildcat

IF anyone has any complaints take it up with him ..

Richie, you did a great job on the engine  On mine the push rods are good, a little dry brushing will make them pop.  However, how did you attach the wires to the harness?  Mine is molded on and it looks near impossible to drill locating holes.

What markings are you doing yours in?  Here's mine, complete with clipped wings:

Nam, PM inbound.

So, Dee have you picked out what your doing for the FAA/NAW GB?

In Aaron's defense he does suck on train exhaust at work

Plus you must take into account all the stuff he may have been exposed to while in the military
