All Righty ... What's on the bench today?

All Righty ... What are you doing today ?

....More like what aren't you doing today !! :bang head - It rarely get's cold here on the North Island and in our corner of Taranaki it NEVER snows, but since the middle of last week, the day temperatures have been quite bitter - nothing like you folks in the USA & Canada experience, and I'm not making any sort of comparison:- because I do my 'messy' work, (gluing, sanding and airbrushing), out in the (unheated) garage, that room is quite simply 'out of bounds' until the 'high' moves away and we get a nice rainy cold-front to sit on top of us and the air warms-up. Therefore the only modelling I can do is decal work which I do at the kitchen table.

So no progress on either of the Corsairs at the moment, but the Eurofighter has come back out of the hanger and I started putting the decals on. No pics yet, just got the unit markings on and the stripes and stencils on the (eight) AAM's and two drop-tanks. There's shed loads of stencils to add, most of them won't be seen because they're too d*mn small.... So lot's to keep me busy until the weather warms-up a little.

Ahhh well :zen

Sort of like when I went to South Bend IN in the middle of Dec, woke up one morning and it was -3f, -19c. I don't own clothes for that type of weather!

Hang in there Ian, it'll break soon. :zen

Thanks for the pix Chuck. :good:

So far,I have been resisting the temptation to go back to Hobby Town. They have the Asuka Firefly Ic .It is the one with the extras..........Track links and stowage. I think it was going for $61.99. But the day ain't over. :pilot

In a moment of weakness just before the coffee kicked in I bid on a 1/32 B-25 strafer. Now if I really wanted this I would be sniped. Guess who won :bang head
Now to look at what paint schemes I like :)
James

Edit: Let me rephrase this. I want it, I just dont need it. And as I am getting rid of my stash this is kind of a dumb move. I will enjoy it though.

Well, sometimes just owning it is sufficient to make someone happy :D

Buy the way, I never saw THE list.

Its coming Chris. Between lack of sleep, pain, and hot humid weather that just saps me I have not done much of anything. Did get some building done this morning, and once this storm hits and cools things down I should have the gumption to start culling the herd. List will be coming, really :D
