Not forgetting Greg's 'cheeky monkey' assistant who really does love him very much, despite how it seemed last night lol!! I'll update you all according to the Greg.

It's like listening to someone with multiple personalities!
Methinks someone needs their own log-in name! ;-)

Careful want you wish for, Bruce...once one SWMBO gets a login they'll all want one and it'll have to be pink or pastel...at least, the 'shared' log-in allows HIm to clean-up if necessary...

Back to the earlier point. This is the only teddy I own,
Image
It was bought for me for my first Christmas when I was three months old.
t'other one (which is in fact a dress :shock: ) belongs to Sarah.

Well. I was just about to upload the pics and get them on here but my camera batteries just died. Off to put them on charge for the piccies.
Brief build report.
AT6. Good quick build and oob decals. only fault as far as the kit is concerned was the lower rear fuselage piece stands a bit proud but given time I would have sorted it out fairly easily.
ME110. Great build with no real issues apart from a basic cockpit but little can be seen when the canopy is on and painted. I had no decals for this one but I didn't need them anyway as I bought it with the intention of building a Russian air force machine. It should have had red stars with a silver outline but I couldn't find the ones I thought I had but that doesn't bother me too much.
Both are now completed and pics are to follow when the camera batteries are charged.

All the best.

Cheers David. I must admit I like Russian markings and oddball or unusual schemes.

All the best.

Cheers Bruce. I blotted my copybook by delving into the unknown with a car kit and rushing the job too much. I was more at home with these aircraft.

All the best.
