jester292 Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Nice work, can't wait to see the paint! I love the Monogram Thud. Aaron Quote Link to post Share on other sites
POMPEO Posted June 2, 2009 Author Share Posted June 2, 2009 spooky, thanks for your kind words, the assembly line in my house is in war production, full time, and so fast Aaron, the Monogran Thud really is a great kit, coming soon i will post the paint job, at this days is very cold and raining day, but at the first sunny day i will proceed the paint cheers and thanks for watching Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spooky 01 Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 spooky, thanks for your kind words, the assembly line in my house is in war production, full time, and so fast I just hope Your local "war production assembly line" isn't meant to fulfil some nasty plans against our nation. Just remember my friend: "Holland & Brasil go back a long waaaaay...!!!" I was quite surprised that You guy's even have an entire city in Brasil which still resembles Holland in many way's. I think it's called "Hollandia" And ought to be situated "near" Your Capital-city. Unfortunately I found out too late during my visit some two years ago, otherwise I most surely would have taken the time to pay it a visit. Oh well, instead I had a magnificant stay at "Foz-do-Iguacu" and some other places. Sure hope to re-visit Brasil some time in the future again... "Check Six....." Spooky.

POMPEO Posted June 4, 2009 Author Share Posted June 4, 2009 Spooky my friend no evil plans, the reinforcement of "my" Air Force, is just to protect me, is a measure of defense and not attack :D about Brazil ... I can assure you that our country is a nation that over time has received immigrants from various parts of the world, all because of the peaceful and friendly people that live here will be a pleasure to welcome you again, without saying that the sights here are many and you need at least one holiday of six months to meet our country make sure that it will be very well received a fraternal hug from friend POMPEO Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As for the Brazilian people; You're spot-on my friend. I have nothing but good experiences with them. If it would be up to me, I would pack my bag's & move to Brazil in an instant !!! Oh well, who know's when I retire... As for Your country: I even doubt if 6 month's would be sufficient... There's just soo much to see: so many different cultures all packed into one country, so many sight's to behold and a climate-variety to top it all off. Having absolutely no interrest in promoting Your country at all, I can strongly advice anyone to pay a visit to Brazil. I for sure will return to Brazil somewhere in the future !!! "Check Six....."
