cool pic Pam! and the name of the Aircraft is " pistol packin mama" my folks used to play that one on the record player while I drew on the centre part...... I stiill have a couple of them with my drawings on them..
I know I was a weird kid.

That's a right on picture Pam Which air field was this pic taken ?
Kelly nothing wrong with being a little different , just showing your creative side that;s all !!!

That is true... but somehow my folks never understood the beauty of crayon in the record grooves just passed em by

Yah , I had a thing for walls . That never did go very well !!!

I don't think it said where the B-17 was being delivered.
I also saw another picture on the web in the last few weeks of 3 women jet pilots walking away from their jets just like this picture but I failed to save the photo. I've tried searching for it but can't find it. It would have been a nice juxtaposition to Pistol Packing Mama.

okay less then a month to go here

Can we change our choices a little?

Since two of my selections are so similar, the La-5 and La-7, I would like to take out the La-5 and put in Hasegawa's 1/48 P-40N instead. Is this OK???

Pam

So far I am building a kugelblitz
Pam, I don't know the rules on that one but it is fine by me if you change. I guess Terri would have the say its her gig. might pm her if you don't hear in a bit..
Later,
Kelly

Hi Pam ! I would say yes to this , but the guys have already voted . If this was before vote's where posted then yes . Sorry , I really like Hasegawa kits and the P-40N is a excellent choice I just got the Typhoon Mk.IB and wish I can change one of my as well . Do have to follow site rules and rules that are posted . Save it for later . I do have more planned in the future .

Kelly , cool you started the Kugelblitz . I haven't done much building of late . Been so busy with work just haven't had the time and the guys are bugging to see pic's of my D.VII
Send some pic's when you can !

Terri, I have not started it yet but will be as it is leading in the vote getting...

Didn't know it had already been voted on but we still don't get to start building until the end on the month, right? That is when you will post which model we are to build?

I was practicing taking photos of some models today using aperture priority with manual focus so I can post mine when the time comes. It seemed to work out ok for the most part. First my small tabletop tripod broke and a part flew off, hit my foot, and was lost and never found. I didn't even know what I was looking for. Had to use another tripod and am glad I have more than one. Then the cable release was stuck on open. My husband fixed it but then the little flat knob you finger pushes on fell off while posting the pictures to my PC. Couldn't find it for a while and had to push it without the soft button which hurt. Finally I found the button and then everything started to work better. One of those days I guess!

Pam
