In case no one has noticed, it seems the Armor goup is planning to overthrow the Aircraft with numbers of posts!!! Just look at their threads, and you will notice at least three threads discussing as to how they will remove us from the top…any ideas anyone??[;)]
It’s just a lot of talking, a lot of bla-bla…! LOL We’re still far ahead in terms of number of topics. Here, we do not chat meaninglessly… We get down to business! [}:)]
Armor has its place but only after there is air superiority. I have seen what an A-10 can do to a tank. No way in this worlid would I consider being a tank driver, or a tank modeler either. Go air!!!
Okay class… pay attention, as the truly immature personalities in both Forums are getting ready to be revealed! [(-D] You’ve heard the old adage; “This will separate the Men from the Boys”, well, this will!
Oh BTW, to illustrate the boundless wisdom at work here, the Armor people come UP here to post their rants & threats, thus increasing post in the Aircraft forum!! [(-D][(-D][(-D] “Go tell your playmates to come threaten us with their dark UNDERside, and while they’re here, thanks for the post!!”
Behold the power of the Dark Side! [}:)] As for you Ju 87 Stuka (yes, I used to be an aircraft modeler, TREASON, SPY hehehe) I just might accidentally post pics of a Wirbelwind, so, how do you like me now.
PS: We are a threat to be taken very seriously! [}:)]
[:(] I have a confession to make. Even though I’m in the middle of about 5 aircraft builds and involved with two group aircraft builds -I bought 3 armor kits in the past couple of months - Two Panthers and a Sheman A3. I’ve even posted in the armor column a few times for advidce (Hi , Shermanfreak! [:D] ) Even now I’m scowering ebay for a good deal for a T-34,Panzer IV and a Matilda.
It started innocent enough. I was looking for another 1/48 A6M2 kit on ebay and I came accross a Tamiya Type 97 Chi tank kit for $9.99 and no bids. I thought 'It’s still WWII Japanese. Maybe I could put the two together in a diorama. So I bid unopposed and got it. When I received it and opened the box and started looking at the parts on their trees, something happend. Those rivets! The treads! That main gun! I needed more!! I saw a Tamiya Panther A on ebay. A bigger gun! Bigger treads! I got it! Then I found out it was not accurate. The A kit was did not include all the needed road wheels. The armor forum posters said the ‘G’ was a good Panther kit. I checked ebay. There’s one ! Got it!
Hey, all my aircraft kits have associated adversaries. My new tanks need them too! I need a Sherman!..[:O] God ! I can’t stop!
Wirbelwind, eh? It’s time to bring the high altitude strategic bombing campaign to the theater! Yes, my friends, bombing everything but the target! [:D]
[sigh] I wonder what Chris would say if he was here… [:(]
