Braving the cold

Yeah right. Our high for the last two days was -9 C (16 F) with 25 cm of snow (10 in) and it is still lightly snowing and heading down to -17 C (1 F) overnight. And thats our "warmest" overnight temperature this week.

Cheers,
RichB

(ECCC just updated the total snowfall)

It was 58 F here today. Felt nice in the sun. I should have been outside this weekend doing a final mow on the lawn and some work on my Blue Scoot. Alas a cold had me under the covers asleep most of Saturday and still all sniffly today. Hopefully I kick the fever and the rest so I can go visit my brother for Thanksgiving. Better now than it popping up on Tuesday or Wednesday.

You want VT17 I'll do that, has decals in the box for that. Again this is not a specific aircraft, this is what I think might have been a plausible scheme based on the things I've read about cannibalizing airframes to get something in the air.

I need a sharper demark between the two different shading patterns. Pin wash in the panel lines might help. I might be too faded on the DSB on the nose section. I do like this tri color from Mission, unlike the Vallejo attempt you can clearly see the difference in colors.

My blood has thinned since my short time south of the great white north, I remember all too well beer freezing in a matter of minutes sitting on the outside window sill of the barracks or hydraulic fluid pissing on the tarmac and bouncing like little bbs. in the ice and snow. How about the time that a KC was sitting at Tanker 8 pad, AKA Lake Tango because water pooled there. It was iced over and the KC just turned into the wind like a big weather vane.

That's why I got my redneck ass back down here.

It got up to mid 60s today.

I would still rather be cold than wet , Parts of the UK got a months worth of rain on Sat which is a lot here in Nov, bridges washed away home destroyed and businesses ruined . I;m alright I live on a hill
The greens cry climate change, truth is it happens every winter.....For about 3 months of the year the UK land mass reverts back to being part of the Atlantic sea bed
