Very nice selection of kits Rich, not seen that boxing of the Hasegawa A-4 before.

it's 40c outside

No complaints about the weather please, it’s 40 on the fahrenheit scale for some of us 🥶  But hey, they are forecasting snow for next week ☃️

Thanks for the update Rich, it is indeed getting more and more exciting by the hour now 👍

I told my physical therapist that I broke my arm in two places.

He told me to stop going to those places.

yeah the numbers in the polls at the moment are a bit crazy, there's lots of votes being moved around, a lot of which do cancel out other moved votes....I think this is why the numbers don't seem to match up!

 

..oh and last night the temp only dropped to around 28C!

thanks, the Skyhawk, well I wanted an Israeli A-4N which is near impossible to get (same with a few others now), but after doing some checks it turns out this release has pretty much all the correct sprue to build one. I just needed the extended exhaust which I got early.

 

But this model is part or a range Hasegawa released on this fictitious theme. Most of the kits in this series are packed with extra sprue, so you can build other versions (some no longer available), you just need to supply proper decals, which is so easy these days. Plus being this weird series they actually are a bit cheaper then the same standard version.

It's a nice looking model....I was (may still) pull out the Zoukei-Mura F-4E!

Can never have enough Tomcats!

 

The Tomcats and F-4 will all be done in VF-31 Tomcatters schemes.

 

Ok better go check what additional carnage has occurred over night (for me)!!!

[trickyrich]

ok to the chart...now it gets a bit confusing (and for me as well), this is the correct one for the 28th, the previous one is a sort of in-between one, I don't use it for trending as it'll just confuse things.

 

No this one makes a bit more sense, you can now see where the change Fairies moved their votes to! We had only 1 new member vote(s) as well.

 

The "High Wing" GB seems to be riding high on a crest at the moment. 

 

Now going over all the trends, as it stands now there are 10 GB's vying for 9 spots, of course anything over 60 votes is looking reasonably safe...... well as safe as erevyone felt at the "Red Wedding"!!

 

But we will see once the fairies have had their wee naps!

A grandma hasn't seen her grandson for a long time and asks

"What's Willy's size?"

"4x4" answers his mother

[Hockeyboy76]

Is it ignorance or apathy that's destroying the world today?

I don't know and don't really care.

 

What do you call a bee that can't make up its mind?

A maybe.

 

Will glass coffins be a success?

Remains to be seen.

 

[Black Knight]

I was getting my hair trimmed at the barber the other day and he remarked that my hair is 'thinning' on top

Have you anything for me to keep it in? I asked

He handed me a shoe box

[trickyrich]

ok along with all the bad jokes.......

 

....well the poll is really interesting, we've had one new member voting.....and I have no idea what they voted for as I can't see any changes! Then a change fairy has come along and taken a vote away from 5 of the top GB's and added them to 5 GB's which have no chance!!

 

Welcome folks to the Britmodeller GB poll!! Where the impossible is possible....and fairies really do exist.

 

We now have less then 48hrs to go........we have 4 GB's separated by just 2 votes vying for the 3 remaining spots...........who can it be now!!!

I told my wife she should embrace her mistakes. She gave me such a big hug!

[trickyrich]

I was digging in our garden when I found a chest full of gold coins.

I was about to run straight home to tell my wife about it, but then I remembered why I was digging in our garden.

 

Two men were talking about their wives

The first man says “My wife is an angel.” The second man says “You’re lucky, mine’s still alive.”

 

I thought my vasectomy would keep my wife from getting pregnant, but apparently it just changes the color of the baby.

 

What’s the difference between a battery and my wife? The battery has a positive side

 

What’s the difference between “incomplete” and “finished”?

A man without a wife feels incomplete. Once married, he’s finished.

 

What’s the secret to a happy marriage?

Find a woman who can cook and clean, a woman who’s an animal in bed, a woman with lots of money..........and make sure these three women never meet.

[Hockeyboy76]

If we are digging up classics

 

What do you call a Frenchman wearing sandals?

Yes, I know it seems that there are only eight slots.  Because I have the power, I have already assigned one of the GBs with a significant date. 

[Paul821]

Looks like it could be an close fought thing for the final slot as at 19:00 GMT as anything but injection, Anzac and Bristol are all on 57 votes.

Or as my son used to think, Pastille Day.

 

[Rabbit Leader]

So if @Wez’s French Fancy takes the first 2021 GB slot, potentially the ‘Heller Classic kit GB’ could get an unofficial four month extension! 
Cheers.. Dave 

[Rabbit Leader]

One of the 2021 GB start dates also falls on my Birthday, let’s hope it’s one i fancy taking part in. 
Cheers.. Dave

Right, there's currently only 189 builds in the Heller GB, we could use some more.

Exactly!

[trickyrich]

.......and the end draws nigh!!!!!

 

though this year a wee bit quieter. Looking at last years charts for this period there were some really big movers, some jumping by 10 votes in just 3 days!!!!

 

This year the only real sort of moment anywhere is caused by those naughty change fairies!

 

Looking at the trends this is pretty much how it's going to end.....maybe 90's NATO will cause an upset?

 

6 GB's and 3 spots........what could possibly happen?

Gosh you're game, the Fairies may cause another Waterloo yet ........you never know what those naughty wee fairies might get up to! 

 

.... I couldn't help myself....

 

A German went to France for holiday and here is the scene, French border staff: Occupation? German: No, no, no, just visiting.

 

An Englishman, a Frenchman, a ravishing blonde and an old lady are sharing a compartment on a train as it winds its way through the Alps. Every now and then the train passes through a tunnel, during which time the compartment is plunged into complete darkness. On one such occasion, a ringing slap is heard and as the train passes back into daylight, the Frenchman is rubbing his sore, red cheek.

The old lady thinks, “I bet that dirty Frenchman fondled the blonde and she struck the pervert.”

The blonde thinks, “I bet that filthy Frenchman was looking to grope me in the dark, mistook the old lady for me and she slapped him.”

The Frenchman thinks, “I bet that perfidious Englishman touched up the blonde in the dark and she slapped me by mistake.”

The Englishman thinks, “I can’t wait for another tunnel so I can slap that Frenchman again.”
