Administrators Clunkmeister Posted January 2, 2021 Administrators Share Posted January 2, 2021 Santa showed up with three small packages, which nicely augmented a kit I have in the on Deck circle. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted January 2, 2021 Author Administrators Share Posted January 2, 2021 Those should nicely augment some of the other things I have here. Plus the Zotz 105 F/G In Vietnam decal set. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted January 2, 2021 Author Administrators Share Posted January 2, 2021 So then I show my wife both Super Set boxes and ask her which version she likes. She then makes a scientific ladylike proclamation: “I like the black and white picture”. Me “But the G has more rockets on it” Wife: “I like the black and white one” Me: “But all the extra rockets” Wife: “Black and white”. - Death Stare - Me: silence, muffled “gulp” and you’ll need to know the Thud to understand this, but.... 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted January 2, 2021 Author Administrators Share Posted January 2, 2021 Why not? Let’s just cut along the dotted lines..... After all, who needs them? Jammers flames, the ALQ-105 sets will need to be c’est histoire. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted January 2, 2021 Author Administrators Share Posted January 2, 2021 And it seems her decision will also of course mean a fair bit of scratch work in the rear pit. The F and the G are somewhat different in rear seat panel layout. OH yay. I sooooo love scratching panels after my amazing B-36 experience. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzaS Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 I quit asking my wife's opinion about models once I realized her eyes just glazed over. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SapperSix Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Its lining up to be a grand build either way. I love the 105. Best of luck on that beast. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocRob Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Call yourself lucky, discussing about a kit subject with your wife. I've given up on that, after my last try of showing her my Lozenge camouflaged Siemen Schuckert D.III twins. She said, the Tarnstoff reminds her of the anti graffiti design on the seats of the Berlin subway. Hell yes, the effect is the same, it's camouflaging, but how can you compare . The only way, I can get to her, is discussing technical aspect. As an engineer, she has a wide interest into engines, gears, ..., like, what was that about the Oberursel Umlaufmotor... Can't wait to see your Santa ride grow, is there still something left from the original plastic ? Cheers Rob 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k5ikl Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Ernie, That Black Box cockpit is pretty much a direct drop in. I had the one for the "D" and it fit in perfectly. Good luck with the build. I have the "G" on the back burner somewhere in the future. Cheers, Jerry 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Not sure the last time I asked Sue on her opinion of a model I'm building to be honest. Does choosing which one is sold and which one I kept count? 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnB Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 LOL Ernie! Since I have been divorced for quite a long time I don't need to get a opinion from a wife (or girl friend for that matter!). I have a hard enough time deciding on which kit to build and in what markings etc without someone else's opinion. LOL Roll on my friend!!! 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Clunkmeister Posted January 3, 2021 Author Administrators Share Posted January 3, 2021 Yep. Doing a G is a no brainer, but a a build wouldn’t feel right unless I hacked it to pieces and inserted resin all over. 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
