    Happy birthday Peter! Carl

    I may have, um, done that a bit already? I think we're at the point where we may the same amount of shoes. She had way more purses though. Truthfully, my wife is actually fairly accommodating of my hobby. She's been known to banish me to my workbench for the odd weekend. It's more that I've just got too many projects on the go all at once. Probably the most ever for me. Here's my workbench at the moment. It's actually not too bad for those who know my organized chaos. But the problem is the piles behind my desk: I'm working on every kit in the pile and on the stool except for the Super 7: - 2 HK B-25J strafers - 1/32 F-16 Block 50 - 1/35 Leopard C2 - 1/35 Firefly Vc - 1/35 LCM - 1/12 McLaren MP4/6 - 1/24 Celica WRC - 1/32 Spitfire IX - 1/32 FW 190A8 - 1/35 M24 So, yeah. I need to get some of those out of the way first. Carl

    Are we there yet?

    Thanks for checking Ernie. Carl

    Nice review James. I almost wish I had this version over the clear one as the cutaway approach is so much more like you'd see a real one in a museum. Carl

    Saw it, want it. Just have to get some of the outstanding projects on/near/around my bench/chair/floor finished first Otherwise I won't have any space to work on it, much less add it to the stash. Carl

    Ernie, I was wondering if any of the tiger stripes are included as decals or masks? Can't wait to see you build it. Carl

    I've always loved the Caterhsm after first sitting in one back in '92. My wife even said I could get one for my 50th b-day. But that was before we had kids... I think the closest I'll come is the three Tamiya ones I have. Carl

    My wife said I could get one for my 50th. But that was before we had kids... I would still love one but I think I'll have to settle for the three Tamiya ones that I have. Carl

    Thanks Peter! I found the missing bits in the last place I'd think to check. They were in the LCM box. So hopefully I'll be back at it shortly. They really are. They just go together so nicely.

    Thanks for the great photos. Carl

    The Dambuster book is fantastic. I managed to pick one up at the Edinburgh show back in August. Carl

    Thanks Harv, I'll let you know.

    Just checked on LSP/TOS, Paul, Suzy and the dogs made it out according to a member there. Carl

    I think Accurate Armour did one years ago but it wasn't cheap.
  16. BlrwestSiR
    Mostly the small details: hatches, lights, tools. I probably have some of the bits in a spares box but hopefully the box will turn up.

    Didn't realize how bad the fire was until I read about it this morning on CBC. Hope they're safe and sound. Carl

    Just a quick update. I've somehow misplaced the Firefly box so I can't get any more done until I find it. As for the LCM, I'm waiting on a figure set to arrive at my LHS so that's stalled too. It's stored to arrive next week so hopefully I'll be back at it shortly. In the meantime, I'll keep looking for the Firefly box. Carl

    Rob, the book didn't mention the colour scheme for the one he flew in Germany but considering the nature of his flight, I doubt the bottom would have been painted yellow. Carl

    Looks great Rob. Just catching up on your build. I checked my copy of Wings of the Luftwaffe and in it, Eric Brown mentions that he was able to make a single powered flight in the Me163 while still in Germany. He pulled it off knowing that the RAE was about to ban all powered rocket flights. It's a great read of not just the flight itself but also his efforts to sneak it in. Carl

    Nice! They've just announced a Jagdpanther with full interior as coming soon. Right after I bought the Meng one too. Carl
  22. BlrwestSiR
    Great looking Corsair Frank! I almost bought another one today (Hobbysearch has the -1D kit on sale for $80) but I figured I should build the ones already in the stash. Carl

    If the dog comes with the Fox body, I could be interested. :p

    There was one of these in black just up the street from us. My wife loved it and wanted one. When I asked her what about the boys, her response was they're old enough to put on their own seatbelts so we wouldn't have to climb in and do it. Here was the proof of concept: I love my wife. Carl

    I'm actually short 1 cylinder. The Beat is a 660cc 3 cylinder. Which means my entire engine has less displacement then a single cylinder in any of the pony cars here. Ernie, you're absolutely right in that there's nothing that sounds like a good ol' V8. One of the dads at my sons' school drives his kid there in a '70s Beaumont. Love hearing that car rumble up.
