  1. Funny thing................... I just said the same thing to Cathy this very morning !!
  2. The party here is getting better and better.....
  3. And they smile when they tell us rates are rising......... I nearly cry when I see those ads on tv about that insurance company in the USA giving away free deductibles if you are a good driver......last fall ICBC said they were going to punish the good drivers as they have lower rates and that's not revenue generating enough so they are jacking the rates...................... gee that's FAIR..................... there was a movement afoot here not long ago to allow COMPLETE Private insurance and the Provincial Government said absolutely NOT..... along with the Uber thing ( which is just plain silly ), we are kind of being dictated to ... oh well it could be worse I guess......
  4. No matter how much 'fighting' you are doing with your insurance company, it would pale against the fighting I would have to do with MY insurance company........... these guys are hundreds of millions in the ditch, and keep raising the rates, another coming soon, BUT the execs STILL have their noses DEEP in the trough with 6 figure salary's..........they NEVER take a pay cut to help....................everyone forgot that when this "Insurance Company' was dreampt up by the politicians, it was supposed to be non-profit and for basic coverage only..... well it is non profit alright, but have formed into a cash cow for the Provincial Government and are dictating thieves with their noses into too many 'projects'................ highways maintenance for one..........they spent millions outfitting our plow trucks Province wide for salt brining, millions.................ask me how many times it was used, go ahead and ask......I have to stop now or I will explode.....you're lucky Martin, even with the fighting you have to do, at least you have a CHOICE................ we don't....Rant over....................... well maybe ...
  5. It looks like the Beer/Wine? and grub fridge is right beside the model bench....................................... hhhhuuuummmmm
  6. Now there is a blank canvas, to make it exactly as you want.................looking good but daunting at this stage....... I , for one will be most interested in what transpires here..... new stove, new cupboards, and an island?
  7. You're most welcome, wasn't sure if you had already checked this out, or if it would be of some use.. glad it is..
  8. Do you FW 190 guys know about this?? If so, accept my apologies for being late, if not............ enjoy https://www.asisbiz.com/il2/Fw-190A/JG54.html
  9. BAZINGA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  10. Could you not get them shipped to a buddy ) one maybe on this site) and then have them shipped to you from their house? Maybe a kind soul would help like that? Just a thought...
  11. There is some cool stuff there, I just wish i could snag a few for my own collection.... good stuff for period detailing....
  12. https://www.flickr.com/photos/8270787@N07 https://www.flickr.com/search/?w=8270787%40N07&q=spitfire Great way to spend a half hour with your morning coffee.....
  13. With the new Lancasters coming out soon, and the Dambuster version as well, here is a new short video of the Bomber Command of Canada's Lancaster that they converted to a Dambuster for the 75th Anniversary, in all it's wonderful glory. I thought this video was good enough to share with you, to see that we have the ONLY Dambuster converted Lancaster with a WORKING bouncing bomb. I had a chance to see her for real and the guys did a FANTASTIC job on the conversion....... thought you may find this of some interest..
  14. ok.................. so the plane was shipped back, and now that you mention that I think I now remember something about that............ is Belenko still in the USA?
  15. You're welcome Phil, yeah no kidding eh? The color vids are really cool....
  16. Check out the videos, I found this on another site ( NO no 'that' site) there is some cool shots in color from back in the day...... well I think they are cool... https://falkeeinsgreatplanes.blogspot.com/search/label/World War II colour
  17. Is Belenko still around and what ever happened to his airplane, I know the US went and looked at it, , is it still around?............ I remember reading a book about his defection.... good cold war stuff.....
  18. Martin, I had no idea you were a helicopter guy too.... oh the darkness....do you have any idea when this one will be released?? I am quietly anxiously awaiting the UH-1N ( 212 in my world ) and I wish they would get OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNN with it....
  19. I hear you Rob................... like a huge challenge not to walk away from.... I'm watching....
  20. I remember building the very old Hasegawa 163B, and it wasn't as detailed, but it did have the rocket engine, and fell together beautifully, it was a nice kit, is that one still out there?
