Red and Rover by Brian Basset for August 19, 2013

A home is not a home without a model B-17 Flying Fortress…with some paint!

I remember how at that age it was all so clear, Of COURSE Mom wants the same kinds of stuff I want!

I was more into Lego.

Lionel twas mine, they were made to last!

In today’s world no kid would be allowed to walk to the hobby shop. His mother would have to drive him there and watch every move he makes.

How could any mother say no to those two? They are absolutely adorable.

Well, it’s worth a try…

simpsonfan2: I always wanted to do the H model (air-sea rescue with a radome in the chin and a large droppable life boat carried externally) but could never find the documenting photos. Now effective tremor has kept me from ever building one.

Go for it Carol!

That’s a pretty good line, Red. Won’t work, but clever nonetheless……… ;-)

Everywhere but where it should go on the model, in my case.

She should give him the money, just for the creativity.

Nice Try!

Notice that Rover is ready to get out the door, never mind the money to buy anything.

With that kind of a sell, how could mom say no?

We gave my father in law a ticket for a ride in a b17 a fe years ago. He loved it (he was a wwII veteran).

Me neither. I’m more into artistic stuff, knitting, drawing etc.

Zeus! This is a GOOD COMIC STRIP.

Ok….that would work with me….he can buy his B 17!
