I'll be keeping your father in my thoughts :zen I'd also like to thank your father for his service.

Always loved that kit. Be careful with those Techmod decals. I've used Techmod twice and they are very nice decals but are brittle and tear easily. Also once they are on the models surface they tend to not want to move. So make sure to lay them down on a nice bed of water or something similar...

I'm very excited for a new 1/48 P-40B. Will be interesting to see if it is as nice as some of the more recent Airfix birds.

Welcome to the dark side Les :evil:

Haven't been building much. Work has been keeping me very busy but hey that is fine with me. Been there almost two months now. Pay is great and the management are amazing. I'm not used to working at a place that is concerned for their employees welfare and truly cares. Yesterday wasn't a fun day...

Dang Bob that's a lot of work you had to do there. P-38 kits must have something against you :rotf Looks like you're beating it into submission :bat

Latest Acquisitions I saw that as well. I'm going be getting myself one also :thumbsup

Looks like some nice stuff. Was really excited when I read Commando. But I was thinking of the C-46 and not a whirly bird lol.

AMT 1/48 Tigercat I'm guilty of that. Been so busy with moving and stuff I've not had a chance to do any building. :bangs head

That's great. Makes for a very small world :rotf Yeah I've heard from lots of people that they are an amazing company to work for. It's worth it for the commute alone. 4.5 miles to work out in the country. Takes me all of about 6 minutes to get there.

Putting me and plants together would be a disaster :rotf It's actually maintenance on their warehouses, offices, and homes. I guess they own about 40 houses that they rent out to employees at 1/3 the normal price for rent in the area.

Dave, its a place called J. Frank Schmidt & Son Co. They've been around for about 60 years now and have several other tree farms in the area.

Well things are looking up now. I had an interview for a maintenance position at a Tree Nursery of all places. Interview was this morning. Just got a call offering me a position :yipee :yipee Means a pay raise for me as well as medical, dental, vision insurance as well as sick leave and...

Academy P38 for Tom Now this is something to watch :popcorn I've got like 5 of these kits in the stash. Would join in but everything is still boxed up from the move. :geek

Seems to be an original thing. No real idea why you'd need it. I mean I guess those deck guys could be kind of sketchy :rotf http://www.aircraftresourcecenter.com/awa01/501-600/awa537-Dauntless-Bailey/11.jpg

I'm going to try and start scanning them this weekend. Really neat to realize that these are pictures that have never been published before. There is one taken from a distance of a B-24 called the "Red Headed Woman" Also another of a aircraft wrecking yard. Most of the others are hula girls...

Oh one of my favorite birds :popcorn Here's some more pictures for you. Took these last year at the Erickson Air Collection.

Yeah from what I've read it seems they've increased the pay and benefits to help retain employees. I mean the pay might not be great starting out at 45,000 a year. But for me being dumb in my younger years and not going to college :bangs head It's not bad to start with. Good thing with...

You're getting old so I figured you'd forget :evil: :rotf :tomato

Thanks Les. My wife was born there also and wanted to be closer to her family. Housing won't be an issue for us for at least awhile. Sarah's grandmother passed away back in January and her house has been sitting vacant since then. Her family wanted somebody to move in and watch the place so it...
