Hugo,
Ok, that's good, as I've got a spare one of those.

I'll add it to my pile of stuff to go to the post office in the next week.


Regards,
Gerard

No problem, just let me know if you want to go ahead. Maybe I'll order a copy myself, I have the F-16 book and it's superb...

Mike

I'm in Calgary. If you want to send me a CAD cheque for the total amount for the Daco book/shipping I'll pay DACO by ccard and have the book shipped to you. If that makes sense. :wacko:

Regards

Mike

Hugo,
Can you remind me which Two Bobs decals you're still looking for.

I may have some of them. Think of it as an early Christmas present
Also, are you in the same address as before ? ( The 1/48 HA F-2 and AH-64D deal )


Regards,
Gerard

Hugo

Hope all is well and not too cold over your way.

Steve Filak contacted me in regards to the Star Wars GB.

Is Heather still interested/have time to co-moderate this at all?

The mods want to know so we can get a 2006 spot!

Let me know :)

:cheers:

Animal,

Saw a thread a couple ago where you were looking for colours for a mirage.

When sorting my paints out I have a couple of xtra colour enamals for a mirrage
2000, I used them for my 1/72 but there should be enough paint left for another
kit.

Let me know if you are still in need and I can send them over to you if needed.

Julien

Hello Hugo,

Can you please contact with me only through my emailaddress daco@glo.be rather than the ARC message board? It's a lot easier for me to keep just one system.

Can you specify which kind of IMO it will be? Is it made by a bank or by the postoffice?

I'm charged 15 euro if it's done by a bank (as this is then similar to a check), but it's cost free on my side if it's supplied by the postoffice (then you won't have to add the extra 15 euro).

Can you pay to a Bank of America account without any costs on my behalf? Then you can deposit the amount also to my BoA account...


Danny

Hugo,
that is very surprising, even given the holiday rush! I will check with my PO and see if they have any way of tracking it. They said it should've only taken 4 to 7 days.
I'm terribly sorry. Some of the delay was due to me not getting them to the PO on time. But even still, you should've had them.
I'll see what I can find out.
Mike

Your welcome Hugo.

Ellis

Hugo,

As a fellow tomcat fan, I feel compelled to raise a concern. you know better than to put stuff like that in a thread... whether you mean it to raise hell or not, someone will take the bait and run with it. The last thing I want is to see this thread devolve into another Tomcat vs. Superhornet crapfest. People will always start in just joking, but it's been scientifically proven that as soon as someone JOKES about it, someone else steps in who isn't.

I'm hella upset that the last two squadrons are coming back soon. I'm even more upset that I'm spending money in september to go and watch a RETIREMENT ceremony in Virginia Beach instead of an airshow. That said, it's up to us to take the moral high-ground and not dog on other aircraft. Especially when it's too late to do anything about it

We're adults, we should behave as such.

Cheers,

thanks animal for asking about the depression. i am feeling quite reasonable at the
moment. its taken sometime for me to reply because, after a bit of a foulup over some decals with someone on ARC and it being the 28th anniversary of my mom's
death this january, i shyed away from ARC 100% and found a little refuge on the
wiffy site.

modelling helps keep me sane these days, even if its only a few brushstrokes of
paint and that's a session been and done with. decalling i am finding is really suffering because of the depression. the only thing that is remotely like started here is an italeri 1/72 rafale-B in RAF markings.

unfortnately as i use the PC's in my local library, i cannot post up images of the
models i do so i resort to photographing them plenty with a rather old fashioned
35mm camera.

at the moment the only non wiffy thing i have on the bench is airfix's 1/72 A-10,
as because some 17 odd years ago i got to sit in the cockpit of one i have a bit of a soft spot for the hog so i don't wiff A-10's. :rolleyes:

otherwise all my models are wiffy all the way. one i am really perservering with is
as adaptation of the RoG Me P1099 kit [as was shown on the front page of ARC] this week. please don't be offended by the thought of it being finished as a blue angels hack from the early 1950's! the hasegawa F11F tiger that is donating some
of the decals is going into the 1950's FAA livery of sky undersurfaces and EDS gray tops.

my first name is actually trevor. howard is a netname i have used for years.

kind regards.

trevor

Yah, i had a bad feeling in my gut as well, but i didn't listen to it. lol. oh well, i'm out some plastic, there are worse things that can happen to a guy, right? lol

Jason

Sorry for the 2-weeks late reply, I kind of "lost" the thread. Anyways, the SR-71 markings I was referring to are purely red, no outline. The SR-71 on display at Offutt AFB wore them, and AFAIK was the only plane still in those markings--I was so disappointed they repainted it recently into "typical" SR-71 markings.

I have no good photos depicting the markings, as they are about as low-vis as you'll ever see--most photos it looks like the plane it utterly black with no markings at all--you have to be quite close to see it actually has most of the standard markings, just in red.

Saw your post on the twobobs forum about the F-18 decals. If I remember right you want the Pukin Dogs. I bought the sheet for the Redcocks, so if you just want the other half of my sheet, that's OK with me. I'm keeping the stencils that are common, though.

PM me with your address if you want them. If you have something fun for trade, that's fine, but if not, it's still fine.

Hugo,
I will send them to you free of charge, seriously, you won't have to pay a penny.I probably will not use those particular decals anyway, and I would far rather let somebody have the enjoyment of them than sitting in the bottom of my tomcat decal to do pile. Whenever you're ready, but they're yours, free of charge.
Joel

Hugo,
Very cool! Again, sorry for the delay. Mostly my fault for not getting to the PO in any kind of reasonable time. I haven't had much time to check ARC postings lately. Glad you got them and hope you are satisfied. I hope to see pics posted of them built!
Best holiday wishes!
Mike

well animal i didnt have any goo gone and i was to lazy to go the the store for some. but i did mangage to get it off with some polishing stix and a dip in the future and it turned out all right, i saved the canopy . its all ready been repainted and test fitted but it wil be up in the opend postion i want make that mistake agin i will stick with how i do it from know on. :banana: thanks rob.

Hugo,
whats the status? any update on the decals? I checked with the PO here and they cannot track it once it leaves the US. It was in a padded manila envelope. Hope it has (or will very soon) show up.
I apologize for the hassle. I will understand if you want to put a bad trader post on this.
regards,
Mike

I hear ya! I'm actually doing the opposite. I've been "collecting" for so long without actually building anything, that now I can't decide what to build. I'm putting a list together of all the duplicate kits I have and going to try and sell some off. I'm working on my model railroad empire right now!! It's always something, huh?!
If there's anything you're looking for, let me know. If I've got it I'll make you a good deal.
best regards,
Mike

Animal,

I tried to e-mail those pukin dogs instructions to you, but the e-mail bounced. Please send an e-mail to me at kozlok@charter.net so I can send them to you.

Keith

Hugo,

Decals are in the mail. I didn't send the instructions because I'm out the door on the way to work. I figure you should be able to go off the pictures on the Twobobs website. If you need them, I'll send a high-res scan by e-mail.

Keith

No sweat Hugo. ARC is all about passing it around. This week I have sent the decals to you, a canopy I didn't need to someone else, and I'm getting wheel wells for my F-8 for free. I've gotten countless parts, so as soon as you get a decent stash built up, you can pass it around, too. The Pukin Dogs just gross me out...you can have em!

Hugo,

You're book is on its way to you :D You'll love it, to me it's even better than they say it is.

Lothar

Hey I was looking at your kit wish lis tonline U have good taste in aircraft :) I have a 1/48 hasagawa AV8B harrier II which Im never going to build its yours if you want it for free. PM me your shipping address and Ill get it sent off.

Ellis
With way more kits than my wife will ever know

Hello Hugo

The cost of cashing an IMO is 15 euro, about CAD 22.50... so this is no option., and I won't be able to cash it when it's not in euro either.

Visa, MC or Paypal works best.

TNT, DHL, etc are costing around 75-110 euro, so that's not worth either I think for getting it sooner than the normal Air Mail post.

Please contact me directly at daco@glo.be


Danny

Hi Animal,

Here's a suggestion: I was about to order the book (I'm next door to Daco in Germany). I'll order two, pay for them, send you one and you send me US cash at your convenience. It could be this easy :D

Let me know if interested.

Cheers
Lothar

Hi Hugo,

No rush with the payment. You can pay after you've received the book, that's absolutely fine with me.

If possible, send cash by reg. letter, not a MO. Any sort of MOs are a pain to handle and way too expensive to cash overhere.

Don't forget to PM or email your postal adress. Let me know if this sounds reasonable.

Have a great Sunday,
Lothar

Hugo,

Just got word that your copy will be here middle of next week, I'll mail it off to you immediately after.

Lothar

Hello Anaimal,
Sorry about the delay in answering - much too much going on.

First, it's the Nikkor VR lens; I love it, some guys don't, and there is no doubt it is not designed for "sports photography" as such. I however, have learned to use it to it's best advantages with my particular camera (the D70), and feel pretty good about my results.
The lens cost me about $1200.00; you can probably find a nice used lens for a bit less. If you want just the 400mm focal length, you could go for a faster prime lens,
but the cost would probably be more.
If you are considering either the D50 or D70s (which are both excellent cameras), I would first take a close look at the Nikon D200, at a couple of hundred dollars more than the D70s, it's a marked improvement with the 11- segment metering system and fasted buffer - that'll be my next investment.
Hope this helps, feel free to ask any other qustions you may have.
Take care, and best in school!
Mike

Animal,
I can get you a copy of this for $30 plus shipping. That' much cheaper than you'll find it anywhere else.
Let me know if you're interested, Craig

Animal:

I have been traveling for work lately so have not had a chance to stay on top of this.

Both Voodos are still available.- would you like them?

Regards,
Stu

No problem- I understand the need for career development. Shoot me a PM when you're ready to buy- if I have one of the kits still available at the time it's yours.

$1,050 for the D50? Ouch! I assume the price you have is Canadian dollars.

You can buy the D70 (camera body only) for $650 at Amazon.com.

Stu

Animal -

Silly question but - do you have the ability to read DVD photos on your computer?

OK, thought so . . . why don't you send me your mailing addy and I'll send you a disk of the photos. It has to go on a DVD as I shot about 400 digitals at 2+ Meg each. I'll have to ask that the photos remain for your personal use and no commercial application or redistribution of my photos is allowed without my prior knowledge (and all the other applicable legal queep).

You'll have to allow me the weekend to get it done though as I'm working on projects for TwoBobs, Jake Melampy and Scott Brown Decals, as well as articles for Intenational Air Power Review on Hawgsmoke and the ACC Heritage Conference. Yeah - and I have a day job too.

I wish I could do photography full time to. It's been a hobby for 30 years and I haven't made much money off of it but I enjoy the heck out of it. I've been published a bunch of times, but the family and the real job have to take priority on my time so I'm not way into it as others are.

Please be aware that VFA-41 has recently received all new jets. If you plan on using these photos for reference to TwoBobs VFA-41 decal sheet, you'll be disappointed. The TwoBobs sheet has the jets from 2002. The newer F-18Fs arrived last fall. I sent Bob a set of detail shots of each aircraft, just in case he decides to update the VFA-41 release for the newer Superbugs - after he completes his move to his new digs.

I'll go out on a limb here, and I can't make any promises due to my schedule, but I have a bunch of slides I shot of VF-41 back in 1983/84 at Oceana. I was assigned to HQ TAC (now ACC) from 1982 to 1984 and made a few photo trips across the river to shoot our Navy neighbors. The slides are buried, and I'd want to scan them first. But, if you're willing to be patient, I'm planning to buy a top-end film and slide scanner this summer and will start scanning my slide collection. I can put the VF-41 Tomcats at the top of the list.
