Do birds get a special device preventing them from being loud before 6AM and pooping on m y vehicles?  :)

Some would a 12 gauge pump loaded with bird shot  but if you do find something let me know.

What is wrong with catching birds, they have an unfair vertical advantage to began with LOL

Being serious a second, domestic cats kill hundreds of millions of wild birds every year. Add the liberal use of pesticides that’s also killing them, and we are soon going to have a problem (my cats’ score this spring is about 9 birds, of which I saved about 4, or at least I released them alive … One cat has found out that the bathtub is a convenient place to play with a bird: it has only a vertical escape route, and it’s so much fun to catch it in flight.

Just arrived this morning and no question I'll be taking a break from the P-39 and let the F4 help build up my model mojo again. No question, the KH P-39 has been and is a mojo killer.

I have my ZM F-4J ready almost ready for primer and doing both F4's would be a treat for sure.

Keep 'em comin

I stopped by the LHS yesterday and they had a pile of these in. I was. Very tempted but then the shop clerk said they had one ZM F-4EJ left so I grabbed that. I also picked up a Takom Panzer III for $29 CAD they had on clearance.

Nice buys for sure and the F4EJ has some spectacular scheme - enjoy them, . I have a number of ZM's Phantoms with the F4J under way and just about ready for priming. I've had it on hold while I aggravated myself with the P-39 and wanted to also wait for the Tamiya F4 so I could compare them as I finish the ZM kit and build the Tamiya kit. Just can never have enough Phantoms.

There is not a lot which makes me envy, but being able to  browse a well stocked LHS is on my top-three-envy -list :D. Do you get the new Kai boxing from ZM or another of the parrot ones?

Cheers Rob

I definitely consider myself fortunate to have an LHS that is not only fairly close by but also well stocked and having a knowledgeable staff.

I picked up another of the limited edition kits. It still has the tissue paper wrapping. I'm thinking of finding decals for the blue camo schemes if I can.

Some contraband made it to my Treasure Island. I feel like a smuggler with his recently looted whiskey barrels :D.
With another shop, I placed an order fot some large bottles of mineral spirit in the form of thinner and hope, that it will get through the blockade. My hopes are not high, but if it goes through, I will have thinner for at least two years.

Cheers Rob

So glad the Tamiya lacquer paints made it through and fingers crossed the mineral spirits successfully make it through as well.

I decided to get another Kitty Hawk Little Bird. I have their AH-6J kit in the stash already so decided the M was different enough to warrant getting.

HLJ recently had a sale so I took advantage of it and got the Hasegawa Jota.

Nice grab for sure ... Just can't get up the enthusiasm to buy another KH kit but I'm still thinking.
