Shonen: actually italeri kit yun sa kin binili ko agad nun lumabas un tagal na

hopefully i could glue the whole thing b4 the 20th para madala ko pangit naman pag pirapiraso pa
i didnt know tamiya had a superhornet kit and wat do u use to detail the cockpit? PE parts or scratchbuilt?

Flex: From what I've read, all the other 1/72 F/A-18E/F kits out there (Tamiya, Revell notably) are really Italeri reboxed.  The Revell Germany kit BTW costs more than the Tamiya one - but it's the same thing as Italeri.  I guess yung nagpamahal is just the box, the box art (commissioned painting sa Revell, sa Tamiya, picture ng assembled model), and probably the costs of importing it.
Rysorne: What do you mean by "... just finished my vacation 3 weeks ago..." Do you mean you were here back home already?
Hey, I just noticed... the tank emoticon I used is now incorporated with those of Armorama. Hmmm... hehehehe trend setter ako! MWUHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Bull: Don't worry about being the Lone Archer - if Jeep comes, you'll be a duo!And, if you count my 1-year stint at Ateneo Law as giving me some "blue blood", that makes us a Triad!
Haha thanks GI! I'm a mishmash of colors myself. Blue, maroon and red.
  But I always considered myself blue. My three sons are also "blue". In the blood I guess. But don't get me wrong, most of my closest friends are green, and by the looks of things, I'm going to make more friends.

Isa lang ang katapad niyan - ICE CREAM!  Kumain ka ng kumain ng ice cream.  Mawawala yung pain dahil naging numb sa lamig ang lugar kung saan inalis ang ngipin mo.   Punta ka na.  :-)  Kung hindi, yung proposed second chapter sa UST pupunta hehehehe
Aminin mo na Flex, shy ka lang...

Sounds like you had a complete root canal... ouch. I remember my sister having undergone that. The bad thing was that the tooth's root was spread out a bit, so it was basically anchored to the gum. What should've been a half-hour or hour-long procedure dragged on to two or so. Painful is quite an understatement.
Sayang, di ka (and Big Man) makakapunta. Maybe next time then. But do try. So, keep eating that ice cream! Initially it'll be painful but eventually you'll be numb - either by the cold ice cream or by experiencing the pain on a daily basis you'd forget that it was there hehehehe

Nyahaha! Di kasi maiwasan na mag po, and ho, I do hope I don't gain anyone's "ire" by doing that, I know I've slipped some "po's" and "ho's" with buck, haha! Nonetheless, katuwa pala yung meet ang greet!
I, and I'm sure together with a handful of us Armoramaniacs were awed at bull's, and buck's works! Fritz, well, is pretty much spoken for, but nonetheless -- kabighabighani yung natutunan ko kanina, with buck's weathering/rusting/figure-painting etc. tips, tapos mga stories nila boss byron -- very informative meet-and-greet indeed. Wanze's 1:72 model was also pretty nifty!
Kelan tayo ulit kita kita?
