  1. Sad to see that price-gouging is alive and well for what was at one time an affordable accessory for models.

  2. Don. The fire bomb stores you are looking for were also available in resin from KMC many moons ago and later on under the Squadron "True Details" brand name as the BLU-10 Napalm Bomb.

  3. Sorry about sending you on a snipe hunt. I should have taken time to check the details further. :/
  4. There are four of those missile shapes included in the [url=https://www.scalemates.com/kits/dml-5511-ho-229b-nachtjager--1191213]DML/Dragon (5511) 1/48th scale Horten Ho 229B Nachtjager[/url]
  5. Always happy to be of assistance. I am surprised that no one has provided us with a better SUU-13 now that 3D printing is available.
  6. DesignationSystems.net has some information on the SUU-13 munitions dispenser at this link: http://www.designation-systems.net/usmilav/asetds/u-s.html#_SUU13 The list of sub-munitions includes the CBU-30 and has a link to that weapon within the listing. The early Minicraft/Academy 1/48th scale UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter kits used to include two SUU-13 munitions dispenser shapes..
  7. The General Discussion Archived Topics just got hit with another SPAM BOT a couple of hours ago. All have been reported as SPAM.
  8. The summer of 1965 from a small hobby shop located in Grand Rapids, Minnesota. I bought an Aurora 1:54th scale S2F-1 Tracker.
  9. If you are feeling a bit "peckish" after you finish with your shopping at Emil's, I would recommend travelling down the hill from Skyway into Renton and visit a restaurant called Jimmy Mac's Roadhouse to enjoy a "pound of flesh" washed down with your favourite adult beverage. Depending on the time of day that you visit Skyway Model Shop the traffic might be a only slightly annoying to downright impossible to comprehend. So it might be in your best interest to just sit it out for a spell and doing that at the aforementioned eating establishment will go a very long way towards reducing the str
  10. Skyway Model Shop located just south of Seattle in Skyway-Renton will be your best option. Emil is the owner/operator and he stocks a lot of interesting things including acquisitions from estate sales. Address/location, hours of operation and contact information can be found at this link to his web page: Skyway Model Shop
  11. Encountered the same crew at HyperScale replying to my post. Same set up, contact the "Friend" that has the items. It smelled sketchy from the start and when I checked the IP address it was showing up being located in Central Africa. Nope, Nope, Nope!
  12. An explanation has been provided courtesy of another modeler via the HyperScale Plane Talking Forum that has built the Tarangus Lansen and is much more knowledgeable on the subject: [quote]Those are shields to deflect cartridge casings away from the belly tank. You're right, they're not in the instructions but they are visible in the marking and painting profiles.[/quote] Link to thread: Tarangus 1/48th scale A32 and J32 Lansen mystery parts.

  14. In both kits there are two oddly shaped parts numbered "16" and "17" which are not called out for use in the instructions. Does anyone know what these vaguely trapezoidal shaped parts are for? My first thought that it was intended to extend the height of the vertical stabilizer as an extension of the extant fin cap but that turned out to be a dead end as it lacks the length and width for that purpose. I have gone through both instruction sheets carefully page by page to the point that my eyes are now watering. This was also posted to the General Discussion forum t

  16. Bump back to the top. Has anyone built any of the kits I mentioned as clean aircraft with no stores attached under the wings and fuselage? I am more than willing to trade for the bits and pieces or purchase from anyone that has these to spare. Not looking for handouts unless you are pheeling philanthropic.
  17. I would like to relieve you of these three kits: Hasegawa AU-1 Corsair S/I $35 F4U-5 Corsair (2 available) S/I $20
  18. Bump. Airfix Valiant part has been acquired. Refined parts request to what is stated in OP title. Thank you Bill P. for providing the Valiant Clear part!
  19. A follow-up to the above post. I now know why I am missing the clear parts from the first four Warthog kits that I acquired several years ago. The recent delivery of two NIB Revell Warthog kits from an on-line retailer highlights my own ignorance with regards to the kit contents. Revell packaged the Warthog kit in a series of sealed bags for the majority of the small parts and the larger parts were held in place on two vacu-formed clear plastic support frames (for lack of a better description). These two support frames supported the body, chassis, and two additional parts whi
