Another try for my oldie pics...

[AeroplaneDriver]

OK, lets try this picture thing again.  As I said these were built years ago and have seen many moves, so they are showing a little wear with some smaller parts gone and all would benefit from a good cleaning and touchup.

I'm still learning this picture posting thing, so don't laugh if nothing comes up again

Anyway, first up is a USAF F-86 built during the OJ trial over two rainy days at work (I was a flight instructor at the time and didn't have much to do in the bad weather).  I think it was a Fujimi kit.

Another of the Sabre...

Now the Fujimi 1.72 A-4M built about 12 years ago.

Skyhawk again...

[AeroplaneDriver]

A Corsair (Italeri 1/72) put together (again on a rainy afternoon) about 5 years ago.

And finally, the cat with no interest in aviation or models, but who clearly has other interests...

A Siamese??? Oh man, those noisy beggars are the worst!  

Nice models btw    

[retro_seventies]

tell me about it, we used to have 6 of them when i was a kid...

like the models very much - i have that exact skyhawk in my stack of kits that are waiting to get built!

(they may wait longer than they think)

Great work, AD !

There's a few nice pics of that there sabre in this months Combat Aircraft, and does anything look as ready to fight as a humpbacked Scooter sporting Shrikes !



As for Siamonsters, they're not that loud, why, my two can hardly even meow !  But they sure can purr !

 

Here's Mercedes and Winnifred, enjoying a snowy afternoon. They're safe today, as they've already gotten the annual ceremonial 'tossing in the snow' !

Nice models there. I prefer the Sabre as I'm not much of a fan of the skyhawk. but that one also looks great.

And as for the cat, atleast she knows a good beer when she see's one

Nice models buddy!

And that cat...  It must be Canadian in a way since it loves beer!!

Toad, your cats look like those in the Disney cartoon, where they wreck havoc and blame the dog!

Toad, your cats look like those in the Disney cartoon, where they wreck havoc and blame the dog!

Yeah, they do look rather eeevil, don't they ?



It's been years since they trashed any models, tho....and that was my brothers almost finished Herc in RCAF Transport Command colours !

Oi was he pissed.........

 

[Captain Canada]

Still on the subject of cats...does yours ever do this ?

Sometimes, for no apparent reason, the things just go off ! We call it 'the funky chicken', they get all puffy and start hopping around on all fours ! Waco Texas.......

[Ollie]

Well, my sister's cat never ever blows a seal like that...

Well, Ms. Hitler (veterinarian and proud owner of FOUR felines) is very pleased to see this thread turn into a cat category!

She says that cats normally do the back arch thing only when startled.  It's an instinctive response---they turn sideways versus their adversary, puff their hair up and arch their back----all in an attempt to seem larger and therefor more imposing.

What the HECK are you doing to your cat, then?  Ours also get weirded out by their own static build-up during the winter months.

Here are the four reasons why I do not get to use the garage for vehicles like normal people.  I'll later post a pic of our "Cathouse" (yeah, Ms. Hitler didn't know what alt. meaning "Cathouse" had when she christened our garage as such).  The whole garage is a palace for the four felines.

Oh...the horror!!
