My PTO choice as well though the Hellcat was less of a handful.

Radial engine, gull wings, slightly tempestuous....( a real $#@%^&*()@#! ) kinda like a Thunderbird.

Aside from being really good, it was the loudest show I have ever seen/heard. Not in a good way.

Any of you folks added any graphics to your Bird's?
I'm thinking vinyl decals/racing stripes etc.

NOPE! The Finns and the Germans weren't at war with each other, even stronger, the Germans supplied them with BF-109's to use against the Soviets.

Better check your resources.

Okay, I went to the German City of Aachen to buy myself some stuff to revamp my stage set up.

What you see here is actually a Kustom cab which housed two ten inchers but I wasn't happy with that shrill sound they had, so I bought myself a Dynacord 12 incher and a solid pine table top and put those on there. The Orange Micro Terror is comically small but it sure packs a wallop.

But I also bought this.

Yeah, somebody had a band saw and a little too much time on their hands. But truth to be said, it's actually quite comfortable to play and way fun, my plan is to take to rehearsal tomorrow, I wonder what my band mates are going to say.

I say, cut the lower horn off like they did on the upper one (at the same angle towards the neck), then cut a “V” shaped notch a couple of inches deep into the butt end where the strap lock is, paint it red and you’ll have a cute little heart shaped guitar. With the pointy headstock it’ll look like something Cupid would play.

Or something like Prince played.

But no, I'm gonna leave that horn on there since it makes it comfortable to play seated.

Actually the Finns used the Buffalo very successfully against the Soviets early in the war. I don’t recall the actual kill ratio but it was way up there. Not sure what the Russians were flying or how good their pilots were but the Finns did wax their butts pretty good with that plane. It’s probably also worth noting that relatively speaking the plane was a pretty poor performer and wasn’t much of a match for any of the axis fighters.

And paint it pink! A Hello Kitty decal would be taking it all too far.
