Twelve people attended. Bobby wasn't one of them, so the "Jimmy and Frank" tag team moderated the meeting. Nicely done, guys. Two people we haven't seen in a while, Alysia and Glen, joined us. Hopefully we'll see them more often. The holiday lunch is Saturday, 12/14/24. $40.00. If you haven't signed up yet, contact Chuck or Jeff to make arrangements.
Mark's group visit to see a C-47 that participated in D Day is Saturday, the 23rd. Thanks for making this happen, Mark. We expect to see photos at some future Zoom meeting(s)?
Lou reports Hobby Boss's 1/48 F4U-4, B-24D and Me 109 E3 are available.
Frank surprised everyone by asking about Forces of Valor tanks on sale at Squadron and Glen asked about where to get kits, now that there are fewer hobby stores. You can help him out by listing stores you know in the NYC area and hitting "reply all".
In progress and completed work included: Mirage, B-17, Sherman Jumbo, T-34/76 early, Ar-234 and F-16 I.
A Fiat G55 was the only acquisition.
Gil, a devoted fan of Mr. Color Leveling Thinner, found a similar product, Hobby Mio Lacquer Thinner. It comes in a bigger bottle, costs less and performs well.
"The one that got away" turned out to be a rich topic. Frank is still looking for the 1/144 F4-J Phantom 2 by Platz. Vaughan wants a Mirage F-1. Erasmo was looking for Plasticart's Tu- 114, and Russ has one he'll never build. Alyssa finally got the 1/48 vac form Vulcan she wanted only to find it's very, very big. Gil is happier not knowing what's out there. Well, that's what he says.
Next meeting is Tuesday, the 26th, at 7:30 pm invites to follow. Hope to see you there.
~Russ
