... but in the nicest possible way!

Hi there

I thought it only polite to check whether you mind me posting updates of my forthcoming Porco Rosso build here. The kit arrived today and looks really fun! Great interior detail! I'll be building the model for an Aeroscale Feature, but I thought the DSB might enjoy it too.

The pilot looked rather worried when he realised he's in the hands of a Wolf, but I assured him he's safe with me!

All the best

Rowan

PS - I know I still owe you guys a Douglas Dauntless one day - but this should be something to be going on with.

Pretty neat kit, and as you say, the interior detail is impressive. I am sure my fellow Pork Links will tolerate a wolf in our midst --- but we'll have to temporarily change the DSB By Laws to allow it Looking forward to seeing your review, and thanks for thinking of the Bacon Nation.

Cheers Steve

I managed to get away from work early, so I've got straight to work and shot the pics ready for the review.



And - just to prove the daring porcine aviator is safe and sound in this Wolf's den ...



I'll keep you posted on progress.

All the best

Rowan

That figure kind of looks like our leader, Dave Tong, aka SS-74. The resemblance is uncanny :-) :-)

To have a graven image of our fearless leader in Injected Plastic.
Grunt.
Hope he doesn't "squeal" too much as the seam lines are sanded.
mind yourself,if it goes for an airsoft weapon!
