Introduction to Aviation Scale Modeling

Today is Papa's bday so we went out to eat lunch. We went to this place called Jinbeh Japanese Restaurant and we sat by a Habachi table -- it's one of those tables where your food is cooked right in front of you with a guy that likes throwing knives and burning things up (he doesn't have to be Japanese, as in our case). after that, i went home and talked to katter then decided to go to Hobby Lobby to check out some models. A lone Tamiya 1/48 Beaufighter caught my eye and it was only $24.99 (as opposed to the $33 MSRP). That thought made me uneasy. Should I buy that model now or should I wait till the next sale. These were the pros and cons:

Pros: It's heck cheap and nobody knows when the next sale is gonna be. Also, since it was the single one, if I don't buy it, someone else might.

Cons: another sign of me being an impulse buyer. owell.

So I went home, did some research and found out that the model received really favorable reviews. I decided that I would get it so i drove to Hobby Lobby again. After getting there, I realized I left my wallet, so i quickly turned back and went back home. When I got my wallet, I ran back to the store and grabbed it before the other guy in the aisle decides to get it for himself. In short, i got it and i was so happy with my find. =)

Tonight, kat was browsing modelingmadness.com when she started to ask questions about modeling. she said she was getting interested of airplanes because of me!! Isn't that the sweetest thing!?!? Anyway, I revealed to her my scale model prowess but her brwoser died twice while sharing interesting model pictures.

She left already but Im gonna call her tonight (we talked from 12:30 to like 3 AM last night!). Man, i'm so excited! Im just anxious now because i really wanna hear her voice. and also, i can't solve this one problem in my HW.. heheheh...
