One more broken promise, and it sparked some Tempests


Recommended Posts

Oooh Boys !!!

I promised not to start any new kits in 2021....

Thus, not commencing any new thread either....

But in July, a friend of mine on FB invited me in a GB....

I tried to resist, but resistance being the result of voltage and Intensity.....

My inner fuse burned in a blink....

Soooo, here we are....

I throwed 2 Eduard kit in the GB....

But you both know me....

My goal there is to put the old Eduard to the new eduard standard.... Excepting the riveting....

Helped by these, it was in this second hand box

Cutting right behind the cockpit was the right place....

Adding stripes for having a solid fuselage...

Just 2 pics to show how Eduard has improved in 15 or so years...

The old Ed seat is basic are too large, I can use a resin seat but I'll try to rectify the original one....

Blimey CC this is an ambitious project!!! You've certainly got your hands full there. Good to see though.

Good luck with your builds fella.

Thanks Chris, 

Given the fact that I finish a Toom and a Corsair...

But, hands full.... It is my natural state of mind....

I have a Mk V in 1/32 and expecting a 1/32 Mk II soon. How many in 1/72 would that be equal to?

 

Good luck.

2 Tempest at 1/32.... Great deal, That give us 4 1/48 ones.... Fine, I'm right now Plus one !!

My old man passed away today...

The old Commando took his las jump.

I'll be really busy in the next days, so, don't you worry.

I'll be back.

Hello Gents,

Sorry for my silence, but things are going from bad to worse...

First, I want to warmly thank you all for the kind words, it's deeply appreciated...

Now listen to that...

Friday, we've got my mother transported by ambulance to the funeral parlor...

Since the stroke six years ago, she's still in very bad health...

The choice was hard for Memsahib and me...

But, she asked for it, so after 58 years of common life, we took the risk....

And while we were waiting for the ambulance to bring her back to the retirement home, she crumbled on herself...

We then call for a doc, they bring her to the hospital, and no hope of recovery....

Both my parents say that they will not stay apart for too long... The way it goes....

Still hanging with my cell phone at the ready, waiting for the last call....

Incredible... Loosing both in a week...

I'll remember 2021 and quoting The Queen, "Annus horribilis"

So please forgive me for not participating too much...

Huh, Yesterday, at the burial, a brother and a sister of mine show up after 30 and 13 years whithout seeing our parents...

And of course, they messed up a bit.... Coming up to puke on a coffin is more than I can cope with....Moreover when one do it in front of peoples..

No worries, they're both alive, I restrained myself a lot, but now, I pay for it....

See you soon Gents.

Sincerely.

I'm so sorry Alain. I went through the same thing last year. and I really feel for you. If you need to let off steam, feel free to contact me. One of the very few things I am good at is listening.
