Howdy Buckeroo's!
My thx go out to all of you fir taking the time out of your normal Armorama browsing time and chiming in here
to almonkey:
:-) ...no, no....it's not a golden age
kit build, it's actually aircraft from the Golden Age.....
I will try to post some pics of a variety of AC from that era to maybe jostle your memory.
to redneck:
Sorry to hear you had surgery...hopefully the drugs helped
As to your referral to a "WWI fighter", are you talking about a Fokker as well?
to Jean-Luc: {my apologies, whenever I say the name "jean-Luc", I think of Captain Picard.....again, sorry
Gotta say though.....I just love the name!}
Your kind suggestion to maybe get a Golden Age build placed for consideration for a 2007 Campaign sounds like a dandy idea. I will consider submitting it for proper approval
In the meantime though, I was thinking that
maybe those of us out there who may not be to overbooked,
and have a passing interest might consider a no-pressure/no-timeframe GB just to maybe hone our familiarity gauge a wee bit.......
A quiet little Golden Age GB might create a grassroots interest level that might blossom in time for a 2007 Campaign docket.......never know.
to Rowan:
Many thx for showing your interest dear Sir.
Your endorsement is grreatly appreciated, and warms my cockles indeed!......."alive, alive-O!" {inside joke for those Brit's old enough to remember the street vendors...}
No problem with the 2007 timeframe, I understand. I too am overbooked, but since I was building this kit {the "Winnnie Mae"} anyways, and was enjoying it tremendously,
and as Jean-Luc said "
we don't see Golden Age Era aircraft that often in the Forum pages. ", I just thought a small 'putzing' around build might be a good idea.
BTW, I really like your Gloster Gauntlet and AW Siskin potentials....are these available in vac?
to JackFlash:
Holy Mackeral Stephen!.....didn't expect a response from you
But then, you're just probably teasin' an old fart like me aren't ya?
Your suggestion of a D.VII is not entirely surprising though....{ya bugger}, but, if you're going to try to stuff an unholy new engine under the cowlings of that beastie, might I suggest something mooooooore, British?.....say, the overstuffed D.VII with the DH 9 engine in it?
I suppose even the LVA Fokker from {circa} 1930 would work as well......a few to choose from.
But then.......who the heck do I think I'm talking to?.......{this as an upfront apology before you lay enough research on me to make me bleed.....
....please be kind
}
to Holdfast:
Howdy Mal, mighty nice to see some interest from you on this
And as to it being "
normally ... outside my sphere of interest " well, that's what this is all about isn't it?
And, having the opportunity to watch your superb progress over on the 'right Royal Fokker' thread makes me think that only good things can come of your participation....and if that's in 2007, no worries.....
BTW, I am also
heavily focused on WWI as of late {both in the air and on the ground}, so bully for you for building such an excellent example of the late war AC
As to colourful ideas....just give me a click, I can suggest up a storm!
to Jim :
A most warm "Howdy" to you Pard'
As for the "...
Thanks for the thought 'Tread, and consideration!..." You know I've got your back
Long time no yakkity-yak with you there Jim, huh? I truly miss the old days, when I was fortunate enough to have your council and your supportive ear.
But, as always, and true to who you are, you are
again supportive! Many thx for letting us all know about the blossoming KitMaker Network and the new, successful Aeroscale site. Maybe I should have originally posted this thread over there? So much for teaching an old dog {me} any 'new' tricks.....
Many thx for taking the time to stop by and say a few words there Jim, it's always good to hear the voice of someone who works as hard as you do in the background around here to keep the big 'A' machine purring......you're definitely one of the 'unsung' heroes mi compadre'
Tread.
