Nine people attended. Lou reports Kitty
Hawk's 1/48 F-35 C, Italeri's 1/32 Macchi 205 and Amusing Hobby's T-90
AK & Leopard 2A8, both 1/35, are available.
The holiday lunch is Saturday, the 14th at Dinosaur BBQ at 1 pm.
If you haven't finished your entry for
December's "Build Like an 11-Year-Old " theme contest, don't worry,
there's plenty of time between now and the 20th, if you build like,
well, you know.
Mark told us he became a Tunison Foundation volunteer, leading to a discussion of several issues concerning vintage aircraft.
In progress and completed work included:
TA-152 (in addition to talking about the kit, Vaughn gave us a lot of
information about the actual aircraft and its designer, Kurt Tank), XF5F
Skyrocket, Ghost of Christmas
Present and Hawker Hurricane. Acquisitions included: 1/16 Stug 3G,
A-10, a book from Reid Air publications on the early F-16 and a $2.00,
end of season bargain, a pumpkin cutter that works like a tiny
Sawzall.
Gil's brush holder/brush washer sparked a
discussion of paint brush types, shapes, names and uses, brush cleaners
and conditioners. We recalled long-gone art supply stores and hobby
stores.
We found out everybody has their own "best
time "to build and it can change as conditions change, middle of the
night, early morning, afternoon, after dinner, when no one else is
home, when the family gathers
to watch TV, after finishing a tiresome job around the house or office.
Anytime, really.
The next meeting is Tuesday, 12/10/24 at 7:30 pm. Invites to follow. Hope to see you there.

For those attended, the plane I was talking about that my son worked on the the Piper (PA) museum is a Piper Skycycle. For anyone interested here's a little local story of it arriving at the museum -
