I got an email from Kosovo this afternoon. These folks have been sitting on the sidelines watching us help out our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan and Diego Garcia, and thought that starting a model club would be a good idea…I agree, and we can’t forget that there’s thousands of men and women serving in dozens of hot-spots around the world, not just Iraq and Afghanistan.
The contact information for the club POC is as follows:
CW3 David Tsitiridis
A CO. TASK FORCE TALON
CAMP BONSTEEL-7
APO AE 09340
I’ll try to get David to post here to tell us what he needs. As per our standard procedure, FSM will be shipping a few cases of CA to get things going for them.
Herne sends…it’s an old radio term…it means I’m done talking…
In this particular case, I’d prefer it if you, the end-user, could send directly. I don’t mind doing it, but my travel schedule starts soon and I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to dedicate as much time as I need to on the project.
As soon as I hear from CW3 Tsitiridis, I’ll let you know.
That’s a big 10-4, good buddy, catch ya on the flip flop. Keep your pedal to the metal and your eye on the sky, and don’t let Smokey ruin your run. (I know old radio stuff, too!).
Yea, but… That’s a big 10-4, good buddy, catch ya on the flip flop. Keep your pedal to the metal and your eye on the sky, and don’t let Smokey ruin your run. isn’t usually preceeded by “Fire for effect”.
I would like to thank you all for the replies. We are an Army Lift Unit, rotorheads mostly, with a few Navy/Marine types here. All of us arrived in December, with the hotel bill payed until Feb 2007. I brought some unbuilt models with me, and an airbrush. Over the past months I found several guys that built kits to. One of the guys built 1 of every military aircraft in Michigan. So I am trying to get us together to build. Sharing plastic construction tools, methods on building, things like that.
All together there are 7 of us. We even have 2 R/C 3D airplanes (foam) flying at times. They can’t fly past the wire. If there is a post for pictures, we have collected a bunch. Just tell me where/how to send pictures of the area/aircraft.
Again, thank you for the post and replies. Even old magazines are great. We don’t have much, and like to build and read to. Take care, check six
Thanks guys. I received an email David and he informs me that his group is flying a lot of missions, so he might not get the chance to reply as often as he’d like.
David has already emailed me, and he wanted to know if others could email me with their wish lists. Of course I said “YES!” so I am waiting for those before sending anything. I will post those here for others to view when I get them.
David e-mailed me also and I have a few models on the way and some magazines and the like.
I found out they have an ex-Coastie in their midst so I am of course going to really take these guys under my wing.
I am going to the LHS and begging for cool stuff tomorrow.
New mail finds the guys like WWI planes , 50-70s Jets and of course cars!
Maybe we could give a heads up to other forums for all the clubs that have an interest in their venue??
I’d like to see these guys buried in plastic!
I am also in Kosovo with CW3 Tsiridis. I am currently building 2 R/C planes. I also build scale WWII aircraft. My mission in life is to build a model of everyting the Allies flew during that war. Thank you for all the support.
Hey Blackhawk,
Give me some specifics and I’ll do my best to get them too you.
BTW Neither rain nor snow doesn’t apply during a blizzard. . .what babies!
I thought I had posted this here but was in the “paints needed” thread oops.[:I]
On my way to the Post Office now to send this to the people in Kosovo. 10 kits, several of the Hasegawa weapons set, Acrylics, sanding sticks and some other goodies. My stash is small but was easy to weed out some stuff and then fill in with a few diferent kits and such.
Total cost? Dont’ care… The reason I can to this… is because they are over there doing that.
