Obscure question I suppose but ....did the pilot and the GIBS ware the same style shute . The seat bottom shape of the back seat seems to be "D" shape which leads me to think that the GIBS wore the butt pack, while the front seat looks as if it would work with a back pack shute. I ask this to settle in my mind whether or not the Master Box Luft fighter pilot figures will work with the He 219 ( future release figs ) Thanks, Chuck

Hey guys, this may be old news but..... If you google wings on the web He 219 and then go down 4 spots to "new full size pictures online" you will find a wealth of photos of the 219 at the Garber facillity. I just finished a lengthly session of down loading photos. Hope this helps., Blessings, Chuck

Man, Paul you are a Machinen ! How many have you got going at once ? My pace at the moment is zip per month ? I have promised that I will start again after the first of the year ( Oh wait, we will all be gone as of this Friday LOL) Well if we all wake up on the 22nd then I resolve to get back to modeling after Jan 1 2013 . I hope that I can get one done by the time that Evergreen rolls around , gives me a reason to go. Oh, I'm sorry to say but I'm the guy that bought the He 219 out from under you, but i'm sure that ET & H will get in at least 2 more as my friend Garland wants one as well as you. The 219 has captured my imagination at present and I'm following the thred closely to determine how much I'm going to do to mine. I think I'll redo the seats myself and try to jazz up the interiour, crank a few degrees of down into the wing (or not), load the landing gear and maybe a few more things. Thats's how it starts isn't it ? Then AMS klcks in and you find yourself trying to corect all the little "flaws'". Maybe we can find the time to get together after the 1st of the year. Oh, by the way, I live in Eugene now. We still have our place up river but our grandson lives in Eugene soooooooooooo ! here we are. Blessings, Chuck

Hey Paul, yes I know what you mean about being " forced " into bying another kit,I resisted the scream'in deals at the swapmeet, but the very next day I was"forced" to buy the new Revell He 219 at Eugene Toy and Hobby. Now I,m going to be "forced" into buying a boat load of stuff to build a dio I have in mind ( figures ,ground support,ect ). Oh well, the more "stuff" in the stash the longer I have to stay alive to build them all. LOL Hope that Teresa "forced" you to buy at least one for her to build : as I remember she's a pretty good builder. I wish my wife was a builder ( wait, what am I saying ,she would mess up my studio bench ). I am working with her new found interest in shooting which is a good thing. Well, will try to make contact again . Are you plannig to go to Evergreen in Sept ? blessings, Chuck

Hey Paul, I had to leave early Saturday in order to get to my gandson's birth day party. Will continue to look in on your builds. Did your girlfriend finish her 163 , looked like it was progressing nicely. Any way , will try to catch up with you at anoter time. Blessings, Chuck

Hey Paul, Are you going to be at the model swapmeet at the Thurston Grange hall this Saturday. It's from 9 am till 3 pm; don't know what to expect but I'm hoping for a few good venders. Any way ,if you are going to be there I would like to meet you in person. Blessings, Chuck Parker

That first photo is most convinceing ! Really nice job. Blessings, Chuck

Saweeeeeeeet ! If I might inquire: the figures are from whom ? Really smashing work on aircraft and figures

Any chance for some insite into your desert floor ? Looks teriffic.

Paul, that would be cool. email is as follows: chuckblueriver@hotmail.com. Blessings, Chuck

Hey Paul,if that's Koosa (spelling ?) Falls you were just a few miles up the road from my house. Yeh, it's a tough place to live but someone has to. Great work on the P&W and the U bird. Chuck

Hey Steve, if you still have the Trump R4M racks and rokets I would love to purchase them from you. I can be contacted at chuckblueriver@hotmail.com .

Hey again Paul , I should add that this is also the land of not many modeler types that I know of. There are a couple of us and there is a very small club but it's not IPMS or any think of that ilk, but we do try to go to McMinville in Sept for the McShow It's a very good venue and a good time. any way zip me a note if you have a chance. Yes summer is on it's way but remember Oregonians don't tan they rust. Ha !

Hey Paul, wecome to God's country. My name is Chuck and I live 40 miles up the McKenzie at Blue River. I do 1/32 aircraft and figs, also 120mm figs. It's getting warm enough to start thinking about working out in my studio again. Email is chuckblueriver@hotmail.com, zip me a note

Hey John, thanks for your input. K-9 ha ! must have been thinking of our dog. Blessings, Chuck
