Fleet Air Arm Group Build

Now then.........about the next FAA build that I'm going to do:

The result was tied between the Seafury and the Phantom.

C'mon! Lets hear your opinions............which should I get stuck into next? 

Darren,

great minds think alike! I will be building my Beaufighter in Malta markings! I have a nice idea for a diorama........

Good see all of you fella's here.

Roy,

good idea! I will be dispatching XXXXXXXXX's prezzie soon. (just need something else I can't mention here to put inside the parcel.)

Welcome to our little corner of the forums, David! It's a good group of guys here, all of them.   Well 'cept maybe Frank (Daywalker). I heard he was a little shady...

A little shady

Roy

 Thanks for the very nice welcome! I really appreciate it.

 I have been so used to the guitar and guitar building sites I frequent....and most of those have lost any kind of 'fun' spirit they may have had.....everyone's so damn serious.

 There isn't a whole lot of difference between building guitars and building models except for the subject matter.

 Both have all kinds of parts and resouces available....customizing possibilities....paint schemes....tribute subjects....you get the idea.

 But I know I won't have to rent a storage locker to accomodate getting back into plastic.

 And besides......"Here There Be Monsters!"

Just hide the Rum when Frank is around and you'll be fine!!!

Well, I dispatched my gift today!  I really hope XXXXXXXXXX likes it!

Darren-

How did the voting on your next FAAGB go?  Did the Sea Fury win?

to our GB Nam!  I really think you'll like it here.

Darren- Thanks again for talking to the chaps at Airfix for me!  I won't hold my breath for the decals, though that would be really nice.  I am very glad to hear they switched decal companies, hopefully their Mk.I early Spit will have some good ones!

Now, on with the toast!

Nam great to have you

Roy

Life is good

Thanks for the kind words, fellas!  It's slowly getting there, figure I'll still be working on her when I retire! Darren- Nice haul, mate!  Sounds like you had a heck of a time there, wish I coulda been there!  That's a mighty large pile of loot ya' got there too!  As for the stencils, I got the wing walkways on, the trestle markings on the underside, and a couple of others on top too.  The ones I really wanted to use but couldn't are the prop blade markings and fuel capacity ones.  Did you give the Airfix guys a hard time for me?

Frank mate,

I spoke to the top man. He was very sorry and wanted me to pass on his sincere apologies. He has asked the head of UK sales to to see if a spare sheet for the Mk.46/47 is availiable. If there is one, they will send it to me free of charge so that I may send it to you. Best I could do as the MK.46/47 kit is out of production-however they did hint at a comeback if the demand is there...........

You will also be glad to hear that Airfix has changed its decal production to a different company................

Gentlemen,

please welcome aboard the newest member of our squadron in the traditional manner......

"WELCOME NAM !"

Hope you're ready for us! There are two rules around here old chap:

1. Build a Fleet Air Arm model.

2. Have Fun!

"Being merry and flying by the seat of your pants is compulsory in this squadron."

"Chief of the watch-distribute the Rum!"

Cheers!
