Thanks guys. Not sure how much I will get done tonight. Just came back from the recruiters. My son is thinking of joining the Army Guard as a way of helping to pay for college. Recruiters name was SFC Michael D. Seitzer. Great guy, first class all the way. Big thumbs up to him.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Good luck for your son.

Echo Vic's post!

Great job on the Seafire too.

 

[Wayne Little]

Yep, good luck with the Son business!

With all on the results matey. That's a real nice piece.

Joining the military (in the U.S.) is not as bad as it sounds. I'm proud of my 21 years of naval service, and love to see the retirement check every month. I wish him the best of luck......

Thanks guys. There is nothing wrong with him joining the military at all Charles. I am quite proud of him wanting to pay his own way to college by upping. He also wants to go ROTC thru the Valley Forge program which would allow him to be commissioned as a 1st Lieutenant instead of 2nd upon completion of his studies. Not bad for a 17 year old. The only thing his is still thinking about is that they want him to go military intelligence since his ASVAB score was 95. That would require going off for a year to language school to learn either Chinese or Arabic. He has a hard enough time with Spanish in school so he just doesn't know.

So close to done I can taste it. Four more rockets and the sliding portion of the canopy to go.

Crappy lighting for these shots. Sorry.

 

[Airframes]

That's really looking the biz Bruce ! Very nice indeed.

 

[brucejscott]

Thanks Terry.

 

[Gnomey]

Nice work so far Bruce!

 

[brucejscott]

Just did some checking, the grey tubes are correct for your RN aircraft, but I had to change mine to RAF green.
Looking great!

 

[brucejscott]

Thanks Karl and Paul. Yeah, Terry clued me in on that one. The kit instructions had them as either Ghost Grey bodies with OD heads or Aluminum bodies with red heads. Must be due to being post war. The seven decals per rocket don't help do they?

Like how that's turning out.
