MikeC 3,273 Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 That is a good point Mike, I've multiples of some A/C, but that choice is based on variables such as paint schemes, and armament. So, for my WWI stash, usually only one of each Brit type, yet "some" Albatrii, and those other Fokkers. Just too much variation to resist. Exactly. I have to admit my definition of "subject" is flexible. For example in my book and for this purpose a P-51B is not the same as a P-51D, and in Spitfires or 109s it's down to individual sub-variants, but again for example an F4F (inc FM-1 & FM-2) is an F4F and I'll only ever build one at most. No offence meant to anyone who's really into Wildcats. BiggTim 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Clunkmeister Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 (edited) Well, a Martlet and a Wildcat are two different aircraft. Wildcat -4: 2 row radial, 6 guns, heavy and slow, Definitive Martlet: big single row radial, 4 guns, fast and nimble. The Americans lived with their Wildcats and developed tactics to make them work. The Brits loved their Marlets. Kicked some serious arse with them, too. Edited May 6, 2017 by Clunkmeister Link to post Share on other sites

I agree completely, Mike, with every point. And to me, Ernie, a Wildcat and a Martlet are way too similar for me to ever build both. I'll be lucky if I ever build a Wildcat at all.

I'll be lucky if I ever build a Wildcat at all. I feel much the same way. As far as I'm concerned, that's one specific aircraft kit that I will probably never own. Link to post Share on other sites
Troy Molitor 4,075 Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Some seriously funny post here Gents. English?!?!?, ask her how many shoes she can wear at the same time. Too funny. I'm have my stash all over the damn place. My folks house, my house in the states. A modest but growing collection here in Singapore. Man my wife will seriously have fit seeing them here. Yikes! Just rememmber guys; buy the kit's at a high price and sell them at a low price to your friends on LSP. It seems to makes the world go round. I bet I have 15 Hasegawa and Revell late model Bf109G's. If Tamiya ever came out with one, I'd be so screwed. Ha I just ordered two of those WNW littler Fokkers! What was I thinking?! tucohoward 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Guest DeanKB Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 I'm sure he meant to say Cymraeg........or is it Gymraeg? The only Wales I know is Josey Wales. Little country attached to the west of England. There's only 3 million of us but we all play rugby and like sheep. Link to post Share on other sites

Guest DeanKB Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Now THAT'S something I wouldn't be running around and shouting from the rooftops. Not at the same time. Rugby first, then sheep. Maybe a bit of singing. "Delilah" is a good one, maybe "Bread of Heaven", Cwm Rhondda" and, of course, "Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau"; https://youtu.be/AM4mIlYKG9s Link to post Share on other sites
