You did a badger sniff? And how did it smell?

I've had some experience with this and can tell you right now that the smell, while sweet and quite soothing, is not worth the mauling you receive while sniffing.

Sniffing badgers!!!!!

but you better not touch!!!!

Rich was a great help with my build, of his dad F4F-4, from Midway...

Well, looking back at your build, I went and looked more into Wake Island, only because I landed there for refueling when I was transferred to the Yorktown in the P.I. I have found an F4F-3 pilot Davidson from VMF-211. He also received the Navy Cross posthumously after failing to return from an action Dec 22, 1941.

So I hope I can look to you as a resource for the Wildcat.

James, your doing a cracker job on this Wildcat too mate.

I've bought an airbrush, but still need to find a compressor, so the wildcat has been put off for a little while until I can give it the paint job that it deserves. I've got to make a trip to the Philippines that may last about a week, but then I'll be back and modeling in full force, and the Academy 1/72 Helldiver will be entering the picture soon!

 

[Wayne Little]

Sounds good !

 

[meatloaf109]

It is worth your time to get a quality compresser, don't do as I did and try to "save money", I have spent more replacing crap, than if I had just bought a good one in the first place.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Sounds good, see ya when you get back!

 

[nagoya_triangle]

I'm finally back from Manila after endless delays and eager to get started again!

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Good to know your back, hope things were okay over there in Manila with the rain and floods wacking the islands.

 

[nagoya_triangle]

I was lucky and arrived right as the flood subsided and got out right before a huge earthquake. Unfortunately, a leaking air conditioning unit, which severely damaged the wooden floor where my workstation was going to be, has to be dealt with. Everything seems to be sabotaging me!
