Absolutely. And there were a plethora of them and they were ALL good . And Martin is right they fuelled imagination in us young guys, didn’t we all play ‘Combat’, Rat Patrol, 12 O’Clock High, and even Gun Smoke. I know I had a model of the old Frog B25 and flew many 12 O’Clock High ops. Even if it wasn’t a B17. Oh the good old days. Peter, can you tell all us old guys are chomping at the bit for your build?🤭 This is going to be a great build and a trip back in time.

Totally agree. Thats the show !

That is so cool. Those old shows and there are a ton of them, were simple, fresh, and not insulting to our intelligence and usually had a good wholesome moral in the end. I live that stuff … unlike some of the garbage that is out there today.

I googled it a few years ago and some university and I can’t remember which one but they had all episodes on line. I watched a lot of them and boy talk about going back in time and to a much simpler time in my life. It was blissful. I wish they would bring those old shows back. … Broderic Crawford in Highway Patrol, Chuck Conners as the rifleman etc. build on Peter. This is going to be great!!

Loved Sky King. Never missed an episode. My dad and I watched it religiously. Following this build , Peter. Jeff

How long did it take to get the order?

Absolute MASTER Class work !

Phil , I have gone back to the first page on your build and I have to agree that this build is fabulous and the cammo is really good. I hope when I do mine I can come close to your skill on this one. I love this. Your Mossie will be a show stopper.

I hear ya on all that, I have good intentions as well, but I rarely obtain them as hard as I try. But my heart is in the right place🙄 But , in all seriousness I do follow your builds with great interest and admiration. I always look forward to your next instalments. Jeff

Rob, you have a build ‘schedule’??? Now that is really cool ! 😊

Maru, THAT is just WAY too COOL !!!!! Thank you so much for sharing that. VERY interesting and I , for one , had no idea regular folks could obtain such coins. I may have to look into this. Such fabulous history to hold in one’s hand. Thanks again !

I love the color choice , Mike. This is just so cool Jeff

Thanks Maru I will look forward to that. Yes all is well , thanks for asking. 🥰

I am watching your build here, Mike. This is just way too cool and a really sweet airframe. Never seen one built before. Thanks to your introduction, I checked out the survivor. She looks to be in great shape. I am eagerly looking forward to your next update. I really like this. cheers Jeff

Thats really cool , never knew one cud purchase those , any pics you mite like to share. Would love to see one Jeff

This is what I meant in my ‘generosity’ thread. This is so incredible. Amazing guys here Jeff

More truth than fiction there ……

Sadly I did that to a Frog B25. Wish I had that kit back. I remember it to be a good model , got a lot of flight hours in that old girl till some sharp shooter set her alight. All crew survived the impending crash I’m happy to say.

Well then, with that said I guess it kind of puts things into perspective . I just thought they may like to build try painting and play with them. It was my pleasure to send them to the boys . And I am glad they were pleased to have their own kits to work with. Might have saved one pr two of dad’s kits. 🤭🤣

No I haven’t. I will have to do a little research to see if it is available here in Canada. We have some silly rules here. Might be worth a try

I have this trailer in my stash as well. Did you build it with the camber ( hard to tell on my phone ) I’m trying to decide. Personally I might try BMF or chrome tape from an automotive store. Mulling it over …. Jeff

Thats exactly the kind of thing I was referring to. It’s great to hear these stories. I bet this goes on more than we actually know. And yes , model guys are a good group and all seem to want everyone succeed.

So, for the last little while I have been reading posts where some of you guys are in need of a bit or part... JohnB. needing the gun pod, Huber to the rescue, Ernie always being on the give, meaning he is the ultimate in generous, with kits and parts, to which I have been on the receiving end from him too, as some of you also... the other day Martin sent Carl a Special Hobby Tempest kit, and it just goes on and on, and for me it happened again, I am seriously watching Ron G's build of his fabulous trucks, and with one of them that he converted from Gravel truck to low bed heavy hauler, so with that, I asked Ron about the gravel box, well willing to pay a reasonable price for it should I be fortunate enough to have him consider selling , to which the immediate response to my query was.... " It's yours, just pay the post"................. Holy Cow.... now as we all know, Ron could have asked for any amount of money or trade, but nope, just pay the post.... suffice to say it is on it's way for a planned build here in Canada......thanks Ron !!!............ I just want to acknowledge the generosity here ,as a matter of course.... you guys never fail to amaze me with the giving, and like I have said before, in this turbulent time we seem to find ourselves in, this is a real positive step in human nature, despite what the news says, it isn't all doom and gloom, there ARE good people out there, and I am pleased to be associated with some of the best..... you guys rock !
