Sorry to hear of your friend here, Harv... damn time goes so fast.....

I couldn't say that any better.................... You're no slouch either Ernie, I've seen some of your talents, and you have them , bud..... I agree , making masters of this conversion would be an open door for cool stuff......

NNNNNIIIIIIIIIIICCCCCCEEEEEE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

man that is gorgeous.......................... the water too.................... I have to go there ....

And I am quietly, patiently waiting for them to GET ON with releasing the UH1N ( although not in this scale , still though....)

WAHOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, I hear you there, it's kind of like 'working alone'................

50 years??/ I hope you are right, but I probably won't be here for that, just seems this has been going on since the beginning of time eh??

What kind of St. Bernard goes out without Rum??

If it were me , I can only swear in one language................................ NO RUM?????????????????????????????? WTF????????????? You still sore? Is it all bruised and swollen?

Good points, and I think stenciling helps as well, BUT, it seems to me that once in service a lot of the stenciling gets burned off, and not always replaced, I have seen a lot of 'in service' birds, and a number of Phantoms back in the day, and Phantoms were notorious for their extensive stenciling, but the ones I saw were not over done, it may be a case of at what stage you are modeling your bird, factory fresh it would be loaded, but once in service maybe not so much.................it will probably come down to a personal feeling..... no matter how much or how little you put on , it could be accurate..... just MHO

sorry Buddy, that is funny , and I KNOW it wasn't to you, I am picturing this incident....... some skinny kid jogging and a 300 lb freight train coming towards him............. I might have been inclined to step around or even , leaped over him like a gazelle..... ( yeah right).... did you swear?? Sorry, buddy, that was insensitive of me...... I just couldn't resist, you painted such a good picture for my crass sense of humor...... I do feel bad for you Quas............ and yes there are most certainly folks who don't control their hounds............................ I guess the next question is, did the dog have a keg of rum with him? Like all St. Bernards do on the cartoons?? If he had, that in it self may have made the fall easier to handle eh?? Sorry for your injury , buddy, I'm only playing with you ( like you need that eh?) wrap it up and take a few ibuprofen....

You guys are hitting right on the head, I have a 16 year old niece, who, ............. are you guys sitting down................... who CANNOT Read regular HANDWRITING ! Are they Kidding???? Ask any kid from any European country and I would venture to bet they can not only 'read' hand writing but CAN write, AND read it and write it in more languages than ONE ............ also there is an idea that most want the top job at the top salary without having to earn it like the rest of us..... huh...... I sure did it wrong, I was at the bottom longer than I was at the top...... hhhhmmmmm

With out a doubt, ................ the more I see of people, the MORE I LOVE my dog

Dogs are PEOPLE too......................

Well, we are about the same... ours works out to 7.60 a gallon ( US gallon) .................................and ......................why do we put up with this stuff......? Some 'experts' say there is VAST untapped resources of oil still yet to be pumped........................... I guess it is a legal license to steal from us............... yeah Martin, I hear you LOUD and CLEAR about the stuff that is going on here.................... I'm just waiting to see what happens tomorrow......... in Alberta................you guys are screwed if she gets in and if he gets in WE will be diddled........... I think I may be packing up and moving in with Harv.........geez................................

I'm sorry for your loss , Phil............ as you guys know I'm looking after my mom's Beagle 'Rosie" ( I call her Myrtle ) and she has terminal cancer and isn't going to be with us much longer...................... lost my own Beagle a few years ago, and she still is in my mind, I still love her and miss her terribly................... and there was snow half way down the mountain behind our house yesterday.............. April?? Global WARMING ???................................................ ah .........................................ok......................... I don't see much warming here yet.......

Probably most C 46's too eh Ernie? Were the ones you flew ex-military? I bet they were..... and I bet we could go as far a Norseman, some Beavers and Otters as well....

Ernie, I have dealt with Mike a number of times in the past, and he is ONE real GOOD guy, and is really honest and has awesome products, so glad you guys hooked up..... I have recommended him many times and he has never failed to fulfill..... good on you Mate!

Yup, I'm "Chillin" BUT I'm building 'Museum Quality" models vicariously through all you guys.................... you should see my Museum..................well, maybe not, you'd have to split my head open to have a look...........In all seriousness, I am really trying to emulate some of the incredible talents here, and I have seen so much great stuff, and ideas, I never would have thought of...... you guys ROCK !

I totally agree with David, THIS kind of helping and willingness to give a hand or advice or make parts is an outstanding tribute to the kind of guys here on this site and model guys ! Those parts look spot on Ernie, and I LOVE the fact that there is someone out there who has and can do 3D printing that doesn't require 400 pieces to be made in a production run..... one off stuff is so cool..... You have a real good RCAF Lanc now Ernie, just don't forget the strengthening sheets by the mid upper eh? I can't wait to see the decals you'r getting made..... love what you're doing here Bud....

Personally, I LOVE the C 130.................. no matter what it has on it..... or in it..............
