I was waiting for someone to ask you if you were going to do a Wildcat, Terry!

T Bolt · Feb 2, 2012

Come on Terry, do it! It'll be good therapy

Think I might do a Wil ....Oh, hello Nurse. Is it time for my medication already?

I was over in Hobbytown in Mobile today Terry and thought about you and this GB there on the shelf was the Trumpter 1/32 Wildcat me think'in I might could get a rise out you

Wayne be a nice choice Hobbytown had a bunch(10 atleast) of D-9s and 152s from Dragon in 1/48 running $25-40.I settle for some obscure planes I can't find locally.Oh and they had Trumps 1/24 D-9 for $71 it almost came with me maybe next time.

Newbe to the board, old time builder.
I got a couple of questions,
1) I started on a Williams bros. 1/35 P-35 about a week ago, scratching the cockpit out, got port side started; can I use that as my entry into this build?
and
2) It's not my "favorite" aircraft, so if I lie and say it is, will I suffer horrible abuse at the hands and/or keyboards of my peers?
It comes from my favorite period in history, and is significant, (fore-runner of the P-47, first american craft with a enclosed canopy, yada...) but, it is one goofy looking crate.

"Give us a Wildcat", "Give us a Wildcat", "Give us a Wildcat", "Give us a Wildcat", "GIVE US A WILDCAT", chant the forum!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sure some of the judges will have an answer for you! And yes, it is "of all time" so it doesn't have to be from WWII.

I shouldn't think a part started kit would be a problem Meatloaf, we kind of like new blood in the GBs and as the kit is not long started you have my blessing, so your 1/5th of the way approved.......................................................expects brown envelope in the post with $!!!!!!!!!!!!

As for the favourite aircraft bit, yes you can lie (more $) but who's going to know and you can do up to four kits in each GB if you want, so it could be your 4th most favourite.

Oh, and also to the club.

rochie · Feb 3, 2012

i'm so tempted to do this as i have the kit and decals now or wait for the carrier build !!!!!

sorry Dogsbody, i'll buy you pint next time i'm round your way to make up for it !

Vic Balshaw · Feb 3, 2012

Hope you're going to include the brolly!!

Wayne Little · Feb 3, 2012

welcome meatloaf, agree with Vic, new blood and especially the envelope part....so now you have 2 judges on side, if you want Terry's blessing I suggest you denounce the Wildcat immediately!

A4K · Feb 3, 2012

I'm not a judge Meatloaf, but if being the inventor of the build subject counts for anything, I reckon why not?

Welcome to the forum too!

brucejscott · Feb 3, 2012

Jump in Karl, I'm doing the exact same kit. We'll call it dueling Martlets. Terry will get so confused he might just build one himself.

I am not a judge.
But perhaps if you fuzzied out the parts you have already done?
Kinda like blurring out the face of a criminal in court....

I could hardly type this I'm laffing so hard............

Make that 3....and the price is going up.

Airframes · Feb 3, 2012

It'll cost you a year's supply of Best Bitter, a five feet six blonde and no mention of the Wil.. - that thing! Yes, it's ok with me to do a part-started kit.

meatloaf109 · Feb 3, 2012

Thank you, gentlemen.
The checks are in the mail. (5' 6" package might be postage due)
Wildcat? Never heard of it. Is it some sort of disease?

Aaron Brooks Wolters · Feb 3, 2012

It is for Airframes.

Wayne Little · Feb 4, 2012

So...looks like your in...don't confuse the postage address either my wife wouldn't approve of a 5' 6" package showing up at the front door!
