Fleet Air Arm Group Build

Looks like all in all, it had been a really good birthday for ya! I especially like the artwork, and i think it's gonna look great hanging in the ole' model room!

   I've seen a few other prints from the same or similiar artists on ebay, and it blows me away the price of them. And granted, those are just the ones that are not autographed. There's one i would love to have of the "Belle" that was autographed by Robert Morgan and some of the other crewmembers. Maybe someday though...

Yep! Ya got a great Wife! I think maybe you should keep her!

No worries.

Guys,

I just had to share this with you. My wife treated me to a print of a NAS 800 Seafire FR.47 for my birthday. Little did we know at the time that the painting depicts the same Mk.47 that I had built but it also has the signatures of six pilots who flew these Seafires with NAS 800 from HMS Triumph during the Korean war!

She also treated to a wondeful dinner and lots of little pressies........I thought that was great. Then the Royal Mail delivered this tonight..........

The brand-new 1/35 scale Dragon UH-1D!!!!! This kit is an awsome all-new tooling and it has six cartograph decal options, four crew figures plus pre-painted P/E detail parts as well. All in the same box! Whooooooooooo!!!!

This kit is superb!

By thunder, I am a very lucky man!!

Thanks friend,

Roy

I should have added that it's for the people who have not signed up for the FAA exchange, my error.

We all have big eyes as the saying goes.  Sometime in the spring would be great. Need more people to join the FAA GB gift exchange. The following have given their intent to participate but I need you era and scale you would like, PM me the information: Alain/chester 101 Mike/ruddratt Dave/razordws Frank and I think that 1 Nov should be the cutoff so I can have time to get the names to you all by the weekend.  As for price it's what you can afford.  The idea is not so much the gift as it is about build our camaraderie and friendship.   Again any ideas or suggestions are welcome. Roy

Everyone check your PM.

Roy

Frank, Happy Birthday

I will send a PM to the others.

Rick, you going to join the FAA GB Christmas gift exchange?  If so PM me, we would all love to have you in. Roy

I really wish I could Roy, but the budget is stretched pretty thin at the moment what with the wifes' surgeries & all.  Fraid there's no new kit purchases for the next few months anyway.  Hope you guys have a lot of fun with it & hopefully I'll be in a better position for the next one.

Regards,  Rick
