Oh Heck, he's back! Stand by your beds lads, we're in for it now, there's no North Sea or Kattegat to keep him away anymore!!

 

[Lucky13]

I'm soon gonna be in a place near you, stuffing a 1/48 Wildcat through a letter box...

 

[Airframes]

Watch it mate, my letterbox bites!

Go for it Jan!

 

[Airframes]

OK, let's see, what's the best ammo for shooting big cats? Ah, got it, a Franchi SPAS, loaded with Hatton rounds! That should take care of any stubby fingers or cardboard boxes poking through the letter box. Hmm, it'll f*** up the door too though!

 

[Lucky13]

...and when you realize that you f*cked up a 1/48 Airfix E/E Lightning kit instead?

 

[Airframes]

Arrgh! Sacrilige! Can't have that, can we?
BTW, I forgot I had it, but I've found a book on 74 Squadron, up to the Lightning era. I take it one would like to borrow it, what?!
Also think I've got some more pics/profiles etc on their Hunters, Lightnings and Phantoms, somewhere in the midst of the chaos here at Tel Towers!

 

[Lucky13]

Need a thread for the 43 and 74 Squadrons then, eh? Is the book in the mail?

Well, to get back to the topic at hand...painted the engine. Started with black and then dusted on gunmetal, so that they won't factory new...

 

[Airframes]

I can almost smell the oil!
There's a couple of things I need to check in the book, for my Hunter. Soon as I'm done, I'll bung it in the red box thing at the end of the street.
BTW, I bet you a pint of Guinness that you don't know what the 74Sqn mascot was in the Hunter years, or what it was called.

 

[Lucky13]

I'll read the book and the I'll get back to you old chap....thank you frightfully!

Tomorrow we'll do the engine of the b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l Wildcat....8)

Here's the Dauntless 9...

[Lucky13]

Said red in the instructions Mr C and I couldn't find my Dauntless Walkaround, so....

Btw, this two crates that I'm doing now are Moon equipped

 

[Airframes]

Are the red wires something you brought bask from Sweden, courtesy of SAAB Advanced Electronics Divn? And what, pray, is 'Moon equipped'?

 

[Njaco]

Jeeezuzzz, is that what I have to look forward to with my engine????

 

[Lucky13]

Just for you Terry old sport... Specialty Equipment Manufacturer Mooneyes - Online Store for Speed and Custom Parts, Accessories, and More, maybe some Edelbrock, SoCal and other stuff too, eh?

 

[Wayne Little]
