(zombie voice effect): Yes, Master... as soon as I buy and receive the models... I shall build the MM... Master.(turn off zombie voice)

I just hope you have many of the models list I sent you.

Just got my models from you (beautiful job of packaging BTW - including building materials!). Too early to get a penny bad, or otherwise BUT I did recently actually really and for true build a Mały Modelarz Me 109 7/90.

I did it without flinging it across the room in frustration and finished it even though I had rolled over a fuselage section with my desk chair.

Do I get anything other than the sort of pitying look usually reserved for faithful, yet incontinent old sheepdogs?

Maly kits aren't that bad :D
The majority of mine are such...

This is a 1996 kit:

http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/b...dels/t34-2.jpg

It had one flipped around section on the hull, but I fixed it. That was the first time I printed a part actually...
(Also, I obviously don't paint edges or dry fit much :P)

Does this mean I punish myself now?

At the risk of sending some of my patrons screaming into the night, I am going to reveal the first group of participants and their assigned models. Note that none of them have received them yet but they should be in everyone's hands within a few days (except for the overseas lads...) Here they are in no particular order:

ShaunGamer - Fokker E.III and Sopwith Pup (only has to build one, but doing both will get extra credit)
boosed - Handley-Page Hampden
Bowdenja - BAe Sea Harrier
Tbolter - Yokosuka D4Y4 Susei
milenio3 - Kawasaki Ki-61 Hien
Darwin - B-25 Mitchell (claims to have already built this 16 times)
Moshe - A-10 Thunderbolt II (aka Warthog)
popala - Bristol Beaufort
Sakrison - Nurnberg

I will post more candidates in a week or so. Just to get this group motivated there is a special award for the first posting of a contest build thread - must include photo and evidence of paper-cutting. (Won't the rules lawyers have fun with that!)

Oldtroll speak with forked tongue. Didn't say I'd built it 16 times. Said I could have built it 16 times since I started waiting for Fiddlers Green to issue their B-25!!!! And did you want evidence of paper cutting or paper cuts?

Darwin, Ron, how about a trade? I change my Ki-61 Hien for your B-25. Unless of course I'm misunderstanding you too.

Reason? I have a friend in my local scale club who is a WWII veteran pilot of B-25's, and I would like to build that one for him.

Well, that wasn't my intent with the ribaldry, but if you really would like the B-25, I've no issue with Ron switching around the kits (if he hasn't already packaged them for mailing). I've already got about all the kits already mentioned sitting in my stash, so no real driver for preferring one over the other. Ron, if is not too much trouble, please make it so.

Is that the one from 93 or 94?
I don't recall any significant problems with it.

The Hampden is the 10-11/1994.

Darwin/milenio3 - they were packaged but that has been undone. The contest kits have been swapped.
