    So I guess the Aussie fruitcake can hold a door against a 20 mph wind gust? In all honesty, I’ve had one good fruitcake experience in my lifetime.

    My wife makes mincemeat cookies for Christmas every year. Absolutely love them! It’s just fruit chopped up and spiced to perfection. People come over and eat them and go nuts. We then tell them they are mincemeat and they act like they are going to puke. No, it’s not meat…. Its gotten very hard to find the mincemeat concentrate in out grocery stores. I had to order it online last time I stocked up.

    Wife said she’s cooking me. I guess I need to build a Viking ship for my send off.

    Looking great!

    I am a bit confused. They say it got its name because the Australian repairman changed its tail to a smaller shark shaped fin. Looks like a normal D fin to me? I was shocked to learn that’s how the actress Swoozie Kurtz got her name though.

    And unbuildable.

    Thanks Maru! Good to see an original saved like this. Gotta wonder how many people will look at it after it’s restored and wonder why it’s so different than the B-17’s that they are use to seeing.

    And that would be the end of my modeling fun!

    Damn. Most of us have a “shelf of doom”. You have a whole friggin closet? Might need to see your doc and get your meds adjusted! EDIT: SQUIRREL!!!

    There’s a thread on LSP about it. I see some minor differences, but not enough to throw the baby out with the bath water. (referring to the Trumpeter C model)

    I think so. It hit me as well when I set up my build area last year. I’m proud to say that I have not added to my SOD, but sadly have not even finished the one I pulled out to complete. Maybe soon. Maybe it’s a sign of getting our affairs in order before the day comes?

    Perfect car for the boys to learn on. Man pedal and a pos so a minor dent won’t matter.

    My X, Y, Z sale from Sprue just arrived. Of course I added a little M, T & F in too.

    I’m too “active” at my bench for him to lay out and fall asleep. Besides, my belly takes up all the room in that chair! Now watching TV in the recliner? He’s all over one of us all the time. He’ll lay out on top of my leg and against the arm rest upside down wanting belly rubs. If he’s on the bed upside down, DO NOT TOUCH BELLY! Almost 20 lbs of cat tends to lay where he fits and when he wants to.

    He heard there was another tomcat I was giving attention to. Had to check out the competition.

    I’m going to have to get a girlfriend on the side just so I can get all these new kits shipped to me. 🤪 TBD, Val, A-20 and now this… Trumpeter 1/32 F-35B coming this summer of course the “It’s unbuildable” and “They got the C model so far off it looks like a Cessna” crowd is already lighting torches and sharpening their pitch forks. Close enough for me! You know, because it’s a dying scale……

    Hey Carl, here’s how I modded my Revell exhaust to fit the Tamiya parts.

    Took my transmission shop right at two months to get me a new torque converter for my 1990 F-250 with a 351W. That was this past fall. He told me if my truck was a diesel, he could have one here overnight.
  21. ScottsGT
    You’re supposed to build these things? I thought they were just to fill up shelf space in the garage.
  22. ScottsGT
    Wow! You did it justice!! You should build more of these.

    Nice MP5. I’ve got a knock off PTR 9c I’ve also got their K model as well. Both are SBR stamped.
  24. ScottsGT
    Looking great Carl! I took my open Revell exhaust and sanded them down to about 2/3 the and glued on the Tamiya closed exhausts. After sprue goo and sanding smooth and rescribing the lines, they look pretty good. Length may be off now, but I just liked the closed look for once since I got a set with my Revell kit.
  25. ScottsGT
    That was my thoughts as well. I’d love to hear how many of these kits hit the market since they put it out. Now way they could re-release this kit today without a complete rework of the cockpit and landing gear at a minimum to get them up to todays standards. And by that time, price point would be inline with Tamiya or Trumpeter with the old reputation of a kit from the ‘80’s.
