Yup. Fits right in with the late 50’s [:D] Reminds me of my first car - a Pontiac sedan. 0-60 in December…
Well russ,
We, ,i.e. you, Rich, Ken, and myself, have a few spark plugs in common…lol
My first ride was a Chevy Biscayne Station Wagon (one custom option down from Bel Air)
not a Woody, but a Sleeper all the same: 427, Rochester Quadra-jet, 400 hp, 375 torque, 10.25:1 compression, Posi-Track, Munci-Michigan Trani…lol…burned tread in 4 gears…(a bit of tar on the pavement…ahem…)
Aaarf…I don’t even have enough hormones to deal with the octane that b***h burned…lol…
Hey, I survived my first ride!..lol…[:O][:P][:|]
Dom
Hey guys, forgive me for the note:
I happen to love nuke, for many reasons:
[clwn][clwn][clwn]
[clwn][clwn][clwn]
Yeah, that’s what I grew up on.[clwn][clwn][clwn]

Gosh,You can’t get a decent description of nuclear war anymore on the web, seems like it has all been shut down.
can i get French Fries with that? SuperSized?
MMMMM…warm my toootsies on that bonfire…waiting for _Xclaus to drop a few,…errr…x_gifts…lol…
PHhht…PHhht…bring it on…
That’s what we fought.
Forget it guys,
Or Nought.
November 11.
Cometh.
This is what Vladimir, your NEW EFFECTIVE boss, is sending me for _X_mas…lol…[proplr][clwn][chfck]
he didn’t send me any glue, or any other ordnance commrades…
but i am happy to build it in this post barbeque world…lol…
This is the monster i always feared as a ‘yut’, and gosh knows it is not a popular subject.
But as a Cold War baby, i think putting it up there in the ceiling is a great memorial to all of those whom served to protect us.
Dom
So, How much styrene would it take to make a nice
visage of this guy:
AAARffffff…is he uglier than me, or what…lol…none of you have to answer that…lol…
Dom
P S : Yes, I sanded a ton of putty off the wings tonight, and I’m hoping i can keep them looking authentic and within tolerance.
I think i need a very fine scribe line for the re-scribes.
Russ’s kit has finely sanded inscribed lines, and i wonder if i should re-scribe the entire BUFF.
Lol Dom! What in the world are you sprinkling on your cornflakes these days ???!! [:O] [:P] [proplr]
BTW, I remember those days, bro, and I’m happy not to read any descriptions of that kind of bonfire [:D].
That TU is awesome! I think it’s one of the most beautiful planes ever built. BTW, notice the interesting similiarity to the Super Connie…? [:D].
Russ
I envy you guys. My car had a rubber band drive with two chinchillas running in tandem [:D].
I salute to all that served in our country’s military and give thanks on this day, Veteran’s Day. [t$t]
Ken
Here’s to that Ken,
and Here’s to Berny and your Father!
It’s good to see so many more engaged in Canada on Remembrance/Veteran’s Day.
[t$t]
Dom
Well, you guys always seem to know when I’ve been up way too late, and have had the
MEK open on my work bench…[:D]
I hear you on the realities of those bonfires…
Yes, the Bear does have similarities to the Connie, both had an elegant outline, I was lucky enough to get a Super Connie and the Warning Star version. The other thing that strikes me is the shape of the fuselage and wings, I used to call it the B-52ski.
Hey Russ and Rich,
Happy Veteran’s Day,
Thank you for serving your Country, Gentlemen.
Dom
Thank you, Dom!
Along with Russ and Rich let’s not forget Kbuzz (the other Ken) and Mike M. also veterans that I remember just off the top of my head. Happy Veteran’s Day! [t$t]
Ken
Good call Ken![Y]
Dom
"Yeah Clem,
it is big all right,
but they sure don’t build 'em like they used to"
"Yeah Buck, 'The Quality Goes In, Before the
Tail Falls off’!"
Ouch! The tail mast probably was too tall for the exit, so they folded it down.
Dom
MiG-17 Update: cockpit done and engine well under way. I decided not to worry too much about the power plant as it won’t be seen in the finished product. It did however give me practice with NMF and boy oh boy does it show the blemishes! Every little ding and glue blob is magnified. I’m going to be extra special careful with the rest of this jet!
Very tired due to work schedule etc. so will attempt to make progress this week as time allows; sleep most often prevails in the battle between model building and rest. Must be age catching up with me.
Looking good, Mike! [Y] [Y].
Get some rest [:D]
Russ
Yeah, I know what it feels like to get my tail chewed off… [:S]
Happy belated Veteran’s Day guys!
MikeM: Sharp looking work so far! Btw If you can get some Gunze Sangyo Mr. Surfacer to spray the surface of the model it really helps to get a nice smooth surface for the NM.
Nice job Mike M.!! You have been busy! [Y] [Y]
Ken
Mike, Those burner modules look very realistic the way you’ve done them, also, on those other parts, do you occasionally resort to “ye olde saybl brush”?
Dom
