You beat me to it! That is the very first thing I thought! The second thing was the drum intro! Now I want to listen to some Maiden!

Apologies, if you were referring to the movie. I was going for the Iron Maiden song of the same name which uses samples from the movie.

What happened to #8? Are we looking at a runway abort ahead of the mission starting?

He’s doing a General Melchitt on us. He’ll be right behind us, 35 miles behind us!

Number 8 is my fault. I was #8 but asked for #42. I am a child, you see, and have a favorite number. This year in particular, since that number means something else to me...

nothing wrong with that mate. If we were sane, or even normal, we wouldn’t be suiting up for bomber duty!

If it has bomb bay doors in her belly, she is good to go
And I see in this photo those three magic words every sig manager wants to hear.......Bomb Bay Doors

Sweet! I have a really cool build idea then.

Also, anyone know where to get custom decals made? Looking for 1/48 scale.

I was thinking about this sig a bit today
And i am allready in ,for quite a while even but the B-1B i am going to build is a modern plane and i have been building modern planes/jets all year so far
So with that in mind i was looking at the stash and decided that i wanted to something a bit older then a jet
Something that screams Blitzkrieg maybe
And for a change something out of the box instead of a pile of after market to replace half a kit (been doing that with my 3 last/current builds)
So i will still be building this kit

20180127_104849 by Mark Verploeg - Flickr2BBcode LITE
But because i want to build something a bit easier and faster aswell i will also be building my back up plan for this build
Wich is this one

20180122_153941 by Mark Verploeg - Flickr2BBcode LITE
Just because i also want to enjoy a less complicated kit without a lot of after market
And because a bomber like a B-1B is pretty well maintained it means less weathering
A HE-111 however saw a bit less tlc so i can do stuff like chipping ,maybe some rust ,soot and oil stains or streaks
Basicly a plane that has seen a bit of action and has some life to it
So i will be joining in with 2 builds for this one

Ps maybe it is also because swmbo got me the HE-111 kit for this build as a present and she wants to see it build

Why? Aside from having to go to the dentist and have my temporary crown replaced with a permanent one I'm off that day. Uh, well, at least there won't be any needles or drilling. Yea, Tuesday's great!

Hey, I move house on Tuesday, its gonna be a great day!

Know your history mate. Its the people in authority who cause the mayhem!!

I broke down and got the resin cock pit stuff for the hustler. I paid 10 freaking dollars for this kit and have about 200 in after market crap. I really have something wrong with me. LOL

Posted: **Mon Apr 30, 2018 1:09 am**

It occurred to me right after I posted that that the B-58 does NOT have a bomb bay. Its solely a bomber, but no bomb bay. So in keeping with that rule, I need to switch over to my 1/72 Vulcan.
