I bet, with all the "what do you want released" posts over the years,
etc....that this plane was not mentioned...

Anyone have an idea why Trumpeter would pick this plane when so many
others that we desire
go wanting?????

How about, since they already have the spitfire, added floats gives them a
new boxing and more sales. I got an MBA, and that is why I can figure this
out. ..../V

Now Ron, on the other hand, has no excuse at all for the mean message below.
After all, his hero, GWB, is the first pres. with an MBA, and  hopefully the
last after November.

Ron, why don't you like me? One would think you have an axe to grind or
something. Just because I think GWB is a walking, talking disaster and a one
man train wreck in progress, that is no reason not to like me.

I think I am a swell person and cannot for the life of me understand why
everyone doesn't agree with that prognosis.

But Ron, you have to admit. You look foolish denigrating my MBA and
forgetting the GWB has one also. Or does this mean you have turned the
corner and come to understand that GWB is today the primary source of  "more
bad advice."

So much for any credibility any of your opinion might have had.  You just can't
give the political diatribe a rest, can you.  

I took you out of the killfile to see if you've gotten over it and become a
modeler rather that  poitiical lackey but I guess not (hell, it's only been 3+
years).  Back ya go.

It's funny Bill......the Colorado Clown lives in my killfile and I have
no intention of letting it out, I only see the blitherings when someone
quotes it. I'm surpised you didn't correct his mistake below, replace
"swell person" with "person with swelled head"; it's either due to his
MBA (and the advanced degree ego problem many of them seem to contract)
or the lower air pressure where he he lives. You should realize that
he'll never stop his political diatribes and let him live with the rest
of the NG sludge in your killfile.

Yeah....I guess I shouldn't have appended his crap to my comment, Ron.  

I must admit that I was guilty of that a couple times today before I put him
back into the killfile.  Sorry again.

Hi Craig ....

I would not have ridiculed you if you had not whined about nothing. Your
original post, when you bitched about the Trumpeter float plane spitfire,
was useless.  Actually, worse then useless, because it was so mean spirited.

Looking below at your original posting, can you seriously tell me it serves
any purpose whatsoever, other then to beam out bad vibrations over the
ether?

And also Craig, you cetainly asked out loud, "anyone have any idea ......"
So you should contain your snippiness when someone takes the trouble to
answer.

So far your attitude is that of someone who considers himself vastly
superior to a lot of other people simple because you have an MBA.

Well, mister smarty-pants, there's plenty of people here, including myself,
who have higher education, but who still behave in a civilised and courteous
matter no matter what people ask.

The original post was a very valid one, seeing as how Spits with floats are
not that interesting and many other marks of Spitfire are barely kitted. Mk.
22 or 24 for instance have AFAIK only been kitted in 1/32 once by Matchbox.

So Vess... care to leav your ivory tower and behave like humans do?

Not forgetting the late nineties Airfix 1/48 issues of the beautiful
Spitfire F22 (near to an F24 as dammit) and the Seafire 46/47.
The F22 is due to be reissued by Airfix this year. Look at its Griffon nose
and weep, oh ye Academy Spitfire owners
(of which I am also the owner of a few). Thank heaven for silicone.

You ridicule (actually they're only feeble attempts at ridicule), Irvie,
because you love to and you have to.  It's obvious to me that you're the type
of person who, when he gets up in the morning, gets mad at his socks and stays
mad at them all day.  Get a grip; get a life.  Deal with your unhappiness and
stop trying to transfer your feelings of anger and inadequacy to others.

Hope you get the help you desperately need.  Bye (again).

It's the title of people who are overeducated in the busineess arts,
undereducated in morality and commonsense who get large amounts of money
for making bad decisions based on thier rational, educated analysis that
has nothing to do with reality.

I believe you brought that fact previously.  In fact, I believe you brought it
up several times previously.  How does your Master Baiter's Award help you
build better models?  Never mind, don't answer; I really don't care anyway.
