Enjoy your well-earned break!

I've got an inboard profile for sure but I'll have to go into the warehouse to see if there's anything else

Enjoy!

I will be on a short vacation between July 9-July 17 and will not be able to ship any orders for a while. The cutoff is today - I will make an effort to ship every order I receive today but no guarantees. We will be back to our usual programming when I return.

Oh you’re killing me Aaron! Still going to Kingsley in a couple of weeks?

It's my understanding from The Jet Guys that those old Monogram Century Series kits are still the better from an accuracy standpoint. I too have trouble finding upgrades for "superseded" kits but Scalemates (a good source for finding potential upgrades) tells me I'm close to 350 in the stash so I have the time to be patient with my search 👍

Need one for a Grayhound conversion. Not interested in the Fujimi kit. Thanks, Chris

😄

You had me at “Early Years.”

Nah. I'm not selfish. Just so long as I get one before Brad, I'm good. Aaron

I just counted the Monogram kits that I have built in the last 2-3 years at 23. I still have 7 unbuilt kits to go all 1/48. My stash is under 180 kits. I know of modellers with stashes in the hundreds that probably include a lot of these kits. These kits might be more popular with the right aftermarket attention.

I don't think local production matters in this instance, but that is just my opinion.

because Turkiye produces GE engines locally at TEI facilities... also using same engines at new 5th gen fighter KAAN at prototypes and possibly will at first batch...

All the A-12 sprues.

Len, Thanks!!! did not realize- appreciate clarification! Best, Mike

For those that would like to see the kit's parts I will up load photos

Tommy, do you have anything else to add to HABU2's pages on the Avenger II?

Agree, but how popular are the old kits? Guys tossing kits into the trash seconds after a new mold of the same kit is announced. I have dozens of older kits I will slog through and attempt some customization's on. But I'd toss money at upgrades to a kit I own.

There were some limited aftermarket items for the century serious kits, like Blackbox, but most of the companies are long gone. I mostly remember having to scratch build details for cockpits with sheet plastic and wire along with Waldron placards in the 80's and 90's. But you are right, no one really gives the old Monogram, Revell or Italeri kits any love with aftermarket accessories these days, which is a shame because for the most part I consider them better kits than some of the new releases in regard to detail, except of course the raised panel lines, but learned a long time ago to fix tha

Quinta includes both. 1B and 2B are the newer ones. Cheers, Len

I’m in!

Great! If/when you find it, please PM me and we can work out the details. Thank you!

Thought you reserved 49 and left one for the rest of us 😁

@BWDenver Cool suggestion! Would like this in 1/48 🙂
