There will be Call to Arms at 1700 Friday . All Officers must be on the line, or CAG will be holding the Rum ration key twixt his golden balls, er, candlesticks. Report in or be dam'ned the likes of you.

XO Daywalker, beggin' the pardon of your Queenliness, but I'll handle the men.

Namref, Upper grade bugger, by rights you are smarter than me and can give the men their emetics!

Wyroroy. Beat the men please.

Well, a little progress on the A-7 was made in that it is now all one color, Tamiya primer grey.Big Smile [:D]  Unfortunately, some dust bunnies magically appeared and will have to be sanded out.Sigh [sigh]   On to more important things, diversions.  Can anyone recommend some NAVAIR related movies?  I have the basics, ToraToraTora, Bridges of Toko-ri, Flight of the Intruder, and Top Gun, and have a line on the following: Flying Leathernecks, Midway, and Final Countdown.  Prefer any suggestions be available on DVD.

Awwwww YeahCool [8D]

Well I have been playing around with an AM 1/100 109 F (yellow 14) for my son.  It's prepainted but I'm still adding some color to the pilot and will try my hand at some panal lines.  Still have to get my hobby room together.  My better half has a long honey do listGrumpy [|(]

I hope to have the room up and running before summer is over, I hope.
