[PR19_Kit]

Straight from the box, it's actually possible to whiff it, as the decals are for the -1 while the kit is -2.

Are you sure?   

When I built one into a pylon racer many years ago I had to lengthen the fin to make it into a -2.

[Radish]

Probably nearer a 1.5....

OK then....off to Woking for more debauchery with friends at Rocky Horror.

"Welcome to Woking: the Home of Homophobia, where cave-dwelling Neanderthals live!"

[Radish]

Neanderthals in Woking se
emed absent this time.

MORE IMPORTANTLY, been planning (AGAIN) the colours for my two nodified Revell 1/72d Canberra PR.9s....
Almost certainly (a dangerous comment to make!!) to become a B-57K and an RB-57K, both in USAF SE Asia colours.... I mean, let's play with the heads of the USAF SIG....

[Radish]

Right.....enough faffing around......

ACTION: finish painting, etc., the Fliegende Undertasse I started at Cov/Warks show.
Then prime with Black the 2 Canberras.

New projects:

1/48th Bf 109G-6 in Latvian Winter colours

And BIGGLES....must get on with the BIGGLES Hurricanes....

Did you know that the Dominican government tried to buy Spitfire 22s?
We offered Seafire XVs....they said get lost......

By the time the UK Gov't had got their act together to offer Spitfire 22s, the Dominicans had bought F-51Ds from Sweden.
The new Airfix F-51D has Dominican markings....a nice camo Spitfire 22 looks on the cards.

[Radish]

Looking forward to having a go at the Airfix Spitfire 22s and F-51Ds.......

Just got some books too....Malta Spitfire Vs in 1942 and  Polish Wings 16: Spitfire XVI.....great stuff!!

Expecting an amazing night on Saturday...THE Party of the year? decade? Century? Millenium?.....yes, looking forward to seeing Aircav and Narses at t'pub.
It's closed to t'public.....probably because they don't want me to be seen in public. It's fancy dress, you see....I shall look marvellous in full make up, but Goth like. Expecting friend Norman to wear his customary dress (or one of them) and lots of bonzer ladies.
The music is "good" to "awesome".....
Saturday, celebrating our 40th Wedding Anniversary, although the actual date is at the end of the month.

Party on, dude

Saturday, celebrating our 40th Wedding Anniversary, although the actual date is at the end of the month.

CONGRATULATIONS

I'm only up to 27th anniv.  this December.  Madame R  says she's never  once considered divorce........! Murder, yes, and on several occasions!

[Radish]

Thanks.....

I'm sure I've driven Mid to despair a few times

[Steel Penguin]

grats there Rad ( and Mid)  coming up to 13 years here both Sapphire Penguin and my self are still diabolically happy 

[Radish]

I find the best solution to any marital discord is to withdraw into a dreamland of colour schemes, steampunk, spaceships, meerkats and vast quantities of aircraft possibilities.



Afterwards, either carry on regardless or point out she's just wrong

[Radish]

Weather looks great....PARTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Spey_Phantom]

Congratulation on your Ruby Anniversary 

[Radish]

Cheers dude.....it'll be a bostin' party!!

[Radish]

An awesome night.

Great to see Aircav (Steve) and Narses (Chris) looking so respectably dressed.

I'm hoarse from talking so much.....
