I'm still planning on dropping most everything for this GB. 

WARNING - first person to post anything about knickers gets to knit the 1/72nd scarf and mittens.....

So what colour wool and size needles are you using ? 

[Captain Canada]

So I kinda blew it with the MG, but tomorrow morning I'm waking up and bashing out something.....you watch ! prob a Spit or Huri, somat simple maybe just some unit changes as a makeshift RCAF flight shipped over in time for the start of the BoB.

Just think RCAF FDB-1s dogfighting with Regia Aeronautica CR-42s.

Great idea.....not even sure if I knew this existed....but somebody should build one !

Grumman Goblin

[Captain Canada]

Another good idea. I was thinking of some kind of biplane and those two are just the ticket 

[Captain Canada]

So, out of the stash tonite I have pulled, all 72nd scale :

Airfix
Spit Ia
Spit I/IIa
Hurri I
Gladiator I
Matchbox
Siskin IIIa
Revell
P-26A Peashooter

Is it tomorrow yet ?

[zenrat]

...Is it tomorrow yet ?

It is here.

[Captain Canada]

It is here as well ! Having a coffee and then cracking open the P-26A. Thought of a story last night. But in my dreams it wasn't a radial.....

[Captain Canada]

Started.....slow and steady lol

Inline engined XP-31 style? 

[Captain Canada]

Hmmm....look at that ! Defo need to find more info on that  one ta !

[Captain Canada]

Been feeding thread through holes on this thing, to replicate the wiring. Not sure if the way I'm doing this is the easiest, but oh well...as said before I want to get one done and carry on. Too many blown GB deadlines for this kid ! And this is the perfect opportunity for me to quit staring more and more models....finish one GB at a time so I don't miss the closing date. Wish me luck lol.

Meh, you're not a real modeler unless your bench is cluttered with at least half a dozen in various stages. I mean, paint takes a while to dry, glue takes a while to set, why waste that time? 

[Captain Canada]

I bet I have over 100 in various stages....that's why I need to stop lol
