Did I miss the party? OK...who drank all the rum!!!?? Hey Roy!!!!!..... my friend!!!

Thanks Mike

I was talking with Frank and he & kati (maybe) will have a shot of rum with me @ midnight EST.  If I'm still up I will have one with them @ midnight CST.  The question is, are you MST or PST zone?

....urp!.....uh.....dunno.....just got here.......EST......what rum?

Nam, rum is the drink of choice for the Fleet Air Arm (Royal Navy).  Well let it go this time but you need to hit the books and get up to speed  Now  go get some rum and join us for a drink @ midnight EST.  I wish we did one at midnight in the secret workshop time zone (somewhere in the UK)

Roy

Yes you can, any member of the FAA need not ask.  Conn. is in the EST right? 

Here's an idea, maybe we can post a pick of ourselves having one in honor of the FAA and our CO Darren?

Roy

I might be here now 

nope....not here yet 

I am not here yet....but will be arriving shortly......well, at 6'- 0"....but shortly 

Looks like this is where the party is!  20 minutes to go fellas, I got my glass sitting here with me!

Well....sorry....but no actual rum in the house......but there is this 'London Dry' stuff......so I'm going there......have updated my photo from Barney....to 'me'.....but it's been 20 minutes....and it's still Barney.....maybe by Midnight....But mixing an FAA cocktail to share with all.

Nam 

Gentlemen,

Here's a toast to all of you, who have made this site a better place by your presense.  It has been a wonderful year, and I am proud to have been a part of this!  I salute you all, three cheers!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!.......ALL FAA AND FSMer's

Fireworks going off in the neighborhood? Yes there are! 

Nice Frank!.....nice graphic......my pic ain't here yet....but Barney has his radar set up!

Happy New Year to you guys.....(see you at midnight CST?)....and to Roy and all! 

....and hoist one for Desert Rat!

Sounds like we should have one for Roger and all of the other chaps that couldn't make it, more rum for the rest of us!

I'm in Vancouver at my Bro's house and don't know if I'll get to post at midnight (PST) so Happy New Year all and thanks for all the great modeling on the forums!

Frank, so they are a part of you

Well everyone here it is 1 Jan 08  The coffee is going and after/during the first cup I will attach the canopy to the Sritfire in hopes of getting some paint on it today.  I also think that since it is the start of a new year I may get to work on hte FAA Corsair

And here's the offical FAA coffee cup

Roy

Roy,

Yep, they also serve to conceal my true identity which keeps me safe on the street!

I like that coffee cup, may have to find myself one of those.

Hey Fella's

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

 HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROY!

Lads, I've been away at work and I've been allowed a night off!! So please allow me to wish all of you a very Happy New Year. You lads are great mates- so here's a little treat from my hometown...........

Lets all remember our loved ones, our mates and all those who have been on duty-at home and overseas.

CHEERS!

Well said Cap'n!

Here's to all of those serving home and abroad, and to our friends and families-

Very cool fireworks display!  I bet if I had looked East when it was happening, I probably could have seen 'em from here!

Lads,

at this time I would like to make a small tribute to the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm. These pics came to me earlier this year, this is 800 NAS currently deployed over Afganistan. These guys fly and maintain the Harrier GR.7, an excellent and deadly fighter. The FAA rarely gets any recognition, so raise a glass to them and wish them well-they deserve it.  

To Her Majesty's Fleet Air Arm......... 

Cheers!

Darren,

I remember those pics, incredible!

And yes, here! here! to the boys serving in the FAA, cheers!  Be safe, and come home soon.

Happy new year everyone! 

I got a lot of work done on the Seahawk today. The fuselage and the wings are glued together and I have to fill a few gaps and I can start painting.

Alain

Looking good so far Alain.  Can't wait to see some paint on her.

Regards,  Rick

Thanks alot.

I have one question, I'm going to use micro sol for the first time and I'm not sure about one thing. Do you apply it onto wet decals or do you wait until they dry?

Alain

Alain, looking good so far

Roy

I agree, looks great Alain

I have a ???? about my build concerning the colour, the colour guide says it's finished in standard gloss sea blue, I have a bottle of MM enamel dark sea blue FS15042 in my stash, Would that be the right colour? it looks right...
