Bozothenutter Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 When you're reading the Crandall book on Dora's, see a weird looking 'Egg' He 111, find out it's a Siebel 204, find out Special Hobby make one and your wallet starts twitching.......🙄 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alt-92 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Any idea how many times I've seen pictures put up here that have some weird contraption in the background that is just as interesting as the intended subject and then the same thing happens to my mouse? *klicketyklick* 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wooksta V2.0 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Mosquitoes. Â The more I research, the more I find I want to do. And I don't mean the famous well known ones. What's grabbing me are one line mentions in second line units with no photos. Â 618 Squadron and other potential users for Highball (305 and then 139 were mooted before Bomber Command chucked their toys from the pram and handed it to Coastal) are my current binge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard E Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 I think we may need to set up a support group, a large part of my stash has its origins in a photograph and/or article found in Air Forces Monthly magazine .... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gingerbob Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Mmmm, I think you've given me another name for a band... I'm picturing sort-of a NEW new wave/ DEVO reboot. Lazy people might refer to them as "MRJ", but that sounds too much like a hip-hop artist.  One other decision-making factor when it comes to (at least hypothetical) model projects: Ooh, that one looks nifty. Hmm, it is a sub-variant (or individual) that is different from "normal" and will require modifications Don't know if decals are available Oh yeah, that's the one I gotta do! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bozothenutter Posted April 15, 2021 Author Share Posted April 15, 2021 I always go wrong with anything being restored, my mind goes into overdrive thinking on how to solve problems, come to think of it, that is another big attraction...soving the 'puzzle'.
