I was going to prime and paint them today but it would seem that I'm out of primer.

Re: 1/48 Carrier Tractors
Hobby Lobby closed on Sundays is a joke. 
Nowadays some stores have bankers hours. Macy’s closes at 8. Nobody stays open til 9:30 pm anymore.

Re: 1/48 Carrier Tractors
Well they are keeping true to their founders beliefs. I don’t fault them for that. I don’t mind a little less hustle and bustle in the world. Having worked in careers that are 24/7/365 since I was 18, I begrudge no one some time off for whatever their reasoning.
I really feel sorry for folks in retail at the holiday season. That has gone ridiculously overboard.

Re: 1/48 Carrier Tractors
I hear ya, Carlos. I dread the holiday shopping season every year. It’s all about the money and who made the most on Black Friday or Thanksgiving night. Thanksgiving should be about being with family, not rushing out the door to catch the best holiday deals.
I may plan on doing most of my holiday shopping online instead of fighting the crowds and parking spaces this year. Or even taking a day or two off during the week while everyone is at work.

Re: 1/48 Carrier Tractors
Wow! A really cool little subject for a build Mike - looking forward to seeing them come together. So are you going to make the EA-6B to go with them?

Re: 1/48 Carrier Tractors
Thanks guys!
Portman- I wish I had a EA-6B. That's on my "extreme want" list along with an E-2 Hawkeye.

I would love to see more ground equipment done as well. Medic, I feel embarrassed now; I have two E-2C's; one of which is under construction right now; one US Navy, the other an Israeli bird. The Israeli one is an extreme shelf queen right now. I do need to pull it out and finish it. Of course, mine are in 1/72 scale; I know you prefer the larger scale one.
These are looking excellent so far. Bring them home man!
