Sorry fellas, been tough few weeks, been trying to get a week for a month, constantly being humped, so, hopefully week after this one, Ill get my week off! Still tooling with my Catalina, order paint and masks next week....as soon as I can decide which Vallejo Air suits best for the camouflage and of course them markings!

But what about Agnetha ?

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Glad your still up and about and STILL in Scotland Jan!

 

[Wayne Little]

Fingers crossed you will get your way sooner rather than later Jan...

But what about Agnetha ?

Well he did say he was constantly being humped.

 

[meatloaf109]

I noticed that, but thought it meant something different in swettish.

 

[Lucky13]

Gonna go through my Vallejo paints this week, think that I've got the brown anyway, so it's just the....greenish one, which Vallejo Air would you say suits best and what should the markings look like, ie numbers?

 

[ccheese]

Lotsa chatter.... no construction !

[Vic Balshaw]

All good fun though!!

 

[A4K]

But what about Agnetha ?

Maybe she was the one humping him...

Looking forward to progress Jan!

(and Andy... )

 

[Lucky13]

Tooling around with the Catalina...

Which exhausts are the correct ones to use on A24-13?

Which turret?

Now on the mission when she disappeared, whould she have been armed
with depth charges, did she carry radar?
What is part #60??

 

[Wurger]

The part #60 is the fuel jettison pipe.

 

[Lucky13]

Aaaaah....thank you Herr Dr, Dipl. Ing, Prof, Ph. D, thank you my friend!

 

[Wurger]

You'r welcome Pal.

 

[Wayne Little]

Stop looking at pictures and shows some neked model pictures.....

 

[Lucky13]

The landing gear shows as 'Metal', is that correct?
Also, would she have had a any codes when she disappeared or just A24-13??

 

[meatloaf109]

My research into RAAF marking when I was doing the Kingfisher indicate that there were no other squadron codes at the time your aircraft disappeared.

 

[Lucky13]

Cheers young man! So, Just the A24-13 then, or?

 

[meatloaf109]

Right, no squdron codes at that time.
So there is nothing holding you back!
