                        Things are moving on slowly with the Hawk as I have been working away from home for nine long days and I need to spend some time with my son, we are off for a day out together to have some much missed Father and Son time, I will be back at the bench soon enough hopefully with some progress pics to share with all of you.

                         

                        Hope all is well wherever you are-enjoy your weekend!

                        Down around the bottom of page 1, this won't do for the finest group around.  Looks like Razor is gearing up for a Weekend shindig, date and time to be announced later.  The right honorable Billy Bondo, Sean and I have already enlisted.  You gonna try for 3 this year Mac?  Ruddratt, see the shanghai crew found you, welcome back.

                        Its a bit of a coincidence that you've bought into that scheme ... I recently found a decal set of Hampton Grey's aircraft at my LHS in a bin. I was going to do a refit of an built hasegawa corsair of mine with them, but after reading his story I think I'll buy a tamiya 1/72 and use its decals on my old bird. Then I'll save the new corsair his scheme. He's a bit of a hometown hero for me.

                        On the home front I am not getting much done on the Kingfisher.  It seems that when you are about to put a $300,000 bid on a house you don't have much time.  My house has been on the market for about 9 days and I already have one bid.  My wife and I are bidding on a house in the neigborhood I gre up in tonight.  I have 8 years left on my current mortgage and I'll be going tback to a 30 so that kinda sucks but the house is really nice and I will have room for a dedicated hobby room.  Keeping my fingers crossed. I guess you only live once.

                         

                        Well so much for that.  The sellers were insulted by my offer so they refused to make a counter offer.  Screw em let them sit on the house for few months
                        There's an easy fix for that. Rent a debris box and have it set at their front door step.

                        Mike I can see why that is your wife's pride and joy beautiful car.  Richie is right it looks like a 64-65 Chevelle.

                         

                        On the home front I am not getting much done on the Kingfisher.  It seems that when you are about to put a $300,000 bid on a house you don't have much time.  My house has been on the market for about 9 days and I already have one bid.  My wife and I are bidding on a house in the neigborhood I gre up in tonight.  I have 8 years left on my current mortgage and I'll be going tback to a 30 so that kinda sucks but the house is really nice and I will have room for a dedicated hobby room.  Keeping my fingers crossed. I guess you only live once.

                        Ruddatt, thats quite the project to complete over the summer especially with only your free time. Kudos on being a modern renaissance man.

                        cropredy thanks for posting the fruits of your research... I may be inclined to pick up one of the books you recommended and read about Taranto. I think my recent resurgence of interest in modeling has been kindled by reading accounts of the British Military's exploits in the early cold war period. From Malay, Korea, the defence of Hong Kong to the Suez, they fought a lot of tough battles. Having the opportunity to build their machines after reading the exploits makes it all the more exciting.
