Thanks Guys ...Terri ..its good to be back yes ...i have alot more time these days ..lol...but I must say that I was telling my wife one day that we werent living ....we were existing ...theres a difference ...Id like to try my hand at this living thing Iv heard about .. You got 8 new kits?? Odds Bodkins! you must have been good indeed! I picked up a couple of kits for myself just before Christmas at the LHS ..as I said it was an "estate sale"..A gentleman had passed and his kits were being sold off...so if you want anything in particular as far as aircraft,let me know ...theres about 800 kits or so in the collection ..mostly aircraft..I will start a new thread with one of those little gear icons in front when I get my supplies ..I will check with the LHS ( mine is a 2 hour drive)..today and Saturday..

I am awaiting a call from my LHS to inform me of the arrival of the materials I need :
Eagle cal book"Yellow 10"
Eagle Cal decal sheet "yellow 10"
Airies cockpit upgrade,resin/photoetch FW 190D
Squadron Vacuum canopy, (regular and erla haube)
other than that Im ready I feel that I have sourced out all the info available on the net( wasnt much there really).Iv got the doner kit and a couple books and a great article from my ref erence library.
..and have changed my screensaver over to a pic of the restored and REPAINTED!!! original airframe just to get in the mood
As I said before I will put a gear icon in front to show its a blog
sorry about the wait guys

We would love to see you do a Blog. And since you are going to be doing a FW 190 anyway, why not join the Butcherbird Campaign? We always have room for another.
