Quote from: scautomoton on May 12, 2025, 08:58:33 AMPlanning is overrated! (says the man who already has most of the aftermarket bits for kits he won't build for about another 5 years.....)

I have just found out that a detail set I bought five years ago now has been allocated a kit to go with. That does not mean that it won't be another five years or more before I consider building the kit.

I am still waiting for my mirage G8  to be delivered, should have been here today. I have a lot of mirage bits and bobs that can be used on the G8, including Kfir stuff. It will be an in service version serving with the Honduras air force, and will have a mixed armament, country of origin wise.

For the dog mainly.  She looks like Princess Charlie the Wonder Dog - only not black.  That will be remedied.  I'm sure the  figures will come in handy.  The three without jackets are not obviously nazi and heads can be swapped...

This will be built in Air America service.  I have plans for a number of their aircraft.

This I just liked the look of on the box art.  Lowbacks are my favourite Spits and the Grey/Brown camo piqued my interest.  I'd like to see how it builds compared to the Special Hobby Mk 24 (some minor fit issues).  Might even be OOB (shock! horror!).

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

The AZ Spitfires are amongst their better kits, along with the 109's, and despite having some tiny/fiddly parts (bad language is available  :angel: ) build well.
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

My models it Mirage G. 8.01 has finally arrived. Whilst looking over the kit, my thinking got completely sidetracked and idea as what to do with my ancient hasegawa F-104. Put the wings from a mirage F-1, along with some other bits and bats, quite possibly the tail fin and wings, and maybe put an exhaust nozzle from an F-16 on it too. If it will fit..

I am still trying to work out how and what fuel tanks to hang under the wings. I do have a few Mirage F.1's available to donate a couple of tanks though.

I haven't got that far with my planning yet!


What is this "planning" of which you speak?

"Planning" is an ancient theory supposing that actions can be foreseen in advance, and directed towards a desired result, It is of, of course, complete fantasy, as it does not embrace the Laws of [1[ Chaos and [2] Unintended Consequences

or SWMBO changing her mind....

SWMBO changing her mind can never be factored into any plan, as you can NEVER have any inkling of the direction in which SWMBO change of mind will take things, or as Monty Python had it:

Good evening. The last scene was interesting from the point of view of a professional logician because it contained a number of logical fallacies; that is, invalid propositional constructions and syllogistic forms, of the type so often committed by my wife.

'All wood burns,' states Sir Bedevere. 'Therefore,' he concludes, 'all that burns is wood.' This is, of course, pure bulls**t. Universal affirmatives can only be partially converted: all of Alma Cogan is dead, but only some of the class of dead people are Alma Cogan. 'Oh yes,' one would think. However, my wife does not understand this necessary limitation of the conversion of a proposition; consequently, she does not understand me, for how can a woman expect to appreciate a professor of logic if the simplest cloth-eared syllogism causes her to flounder?

For example, given the premise, 'all fish live underwater' and 'all mackerel are fish', my wife will conclude, not that 'all mackerel live underwater', but that 'if she buys kippers, it will not rain' or that 'trout live in trees' or even that 'I do not love her any more.' This she calls 'using her intuition'. I call it 'crap' and it gets me very irritated because it is not logical. 'There will be no supper tonight,' she will sometimes cry upon my return home. 'Why not?' I will ask. 'Because I have been screwing the milkman all day,' she will say, quite oblivious of the howling error she has made. 'But,' I will wearily point out, 'even given that the activities of screwing the milkman and getting supper are mutually exclusive, now that the screwing is over, surely then, supper may now, logically, be got.'

'You don't love me any more,' she will now often postulate. 'If you did, you would give me one now and again, so that I would not have to rely on that rancid Pakistani for my orgasms.' 'I will give you one after you have got me my supper,' I now usually scream, 'but not before' - as you understand, making her bang contingent on the arrival of my supper. 'God, you turn me on when you're angry, you ancient brute!' she now mysteriously deduces, forcing her sweetly throbbing tongue down my throat. 'f**k supper!' I now invariably conclude, throwing logic somewhat joyously to the four winds. And so we thrash about on our milk-stained floor, transported by animal passion until we sink back, exhausted, onto the cartons of yogurt.

...I'm afraid I seem to have strayed somewhat from my original brief. But in a nutshell: sex is more fun than logic. One cannot prove this, but it 'is' in the same sense that Mount Everest 'is', or that Alma Cogan 'isn't'.

Er.............. yes.  ;D

Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model
