I am always torn with my hobbies because in the summer or with clear skies I used to love to watch and photograph airliners going over a few miles up, I am a aircraft spotter by hobby I collect tail numbers or registrations then underline them in books containing airline fleet lists. OC.

Nah your sound mate - loving this forum at the moment its really come to life, so much interest on here and the convo's "nothing better" OC.

Dont get me started on food mark - you know what I'm like with food when someone mentions it on the builds - suddenly we are a cooking forum - "good idea me thinks - we could tast and do a compare" OC.

Not sure if I have mentioned - but I have the Tamiya rattle cans (Acylic) to do the outside camo paintwork (got them in gloss - to aid the decals) and also a Tamiya rattle can flat top coat, I have also got a a jar of each colour for any brush touch ups, same with the interior colour (jars). I hope to try masking for the two tone camo using the Blue Tack method to get a soft demarcation line, I have seen excellent jobs done this way. OC.

Thanks mark, shouldn't be too long - at a guess I would estimate a start time in say......2050 not far off. no seriously I will kick mu butt and get the pearl done - it will be a win win situ for me then - double doss of Brownie Points. OC.

Lou double - treble check the fit of parts compared to the kit parts for the inner sections as a lot of upgrades can be slightly over scale making closing up the hull difficult at best and impossible at worst, just saves a lot of heart ache latter. OC.

I was lucky to have my farther who used to tell me the stories of his experiences from UK bases to working in Oz dismantling aircraft ready to be freighted back over to the UK - I miss our chats as they were a real eye opener into how life was for him. OC.

I have learned a new talent - staring at the spru's in the box - looking over different parts and imagining how they will fit against each other - shhhhh dont tell the admiral. OC.

I understand Lou gong from many convo's I used to have with my farther about his service life - one thing I remember him telling me - he and a canadian guy who was stationed together was walking along a country road going into town to the bars, when a US truck went past and stopped my dad and the canadian guy (who was apparently 6ft5) jumped in the back with about 10 american GI's before long a fight broke out the canadian guy jumped out the back and my dad was left to fend for himself - cut along story and all that he acounted for himself and ended up earning thier respect and went drinking with them. When he got back to the field the next day and saw the canadian guy my dad knocked him to the ground. OC.
-
Yep! my farther told me a few stories about this. OC.
-
Sounds like a plan. OC.
