  1. Hi All,

      A fellow aircraft modeler who also does Sci-Fi got me interested in Star Trek modeling. I just received an AMT Enterprise D kit, #8793. It was listed as a 1:1400 kit from where I purchased it but the box is marked as 1:650 scale. It's even listed on ScaleMates with the 1:1400 kits and you can see a pic with the 1:650 on the box. The kit measures out to the dimensions listed listed in several places for the 1:1400 kit. Does any one know the history behind this apparent misprint on the box for this kit.

     

    Thanks!

  2. Hi All,

    I'd like to dress up my Special Hobby Viggens with some munitions. The kits have the pylons but no launch rails. After an hour or so of web search looking for info on this subject and not finding much I thought I'd ask for help. I did find one photo in a walk-around of a missile on an inner pylon but there was no reference to the launch rail. I also looked at accessories available in several online suppliers but didn't come up with anything. Can anyone tell me what kind of launch rails were used on the Viggen for the Swedish version of the AIM-9B and AGM-65? Are there any suitable subs I could use? Thanks in advance for any guidance!

    Thanks guys! I've definitely got some stuff to chew on...

     I suggest you also take a look at this resource...   https://www.tornadosig.com/

     

    Check out "Modelling the Tornado" and "About the Tornado". They have a link to the forum and their Facebook page discussion area. The forum has some discussions/information but the discussions have moved to their Facebook page. You don't have to be an IPMS member to participate.

  4. I requested a replacement from Revell of Germany and they are not available; out of stock and not being produced.

     

    Does anyone have a spare or one from a trashed kit you could provide me with? I'll gladly pay for one or even trade a kit for one.

    To be clear I'm looking for only the canopy and instead of paying for it I have a few kits I would trade for just the canopy.

     

    Please PM me or email me at jm190(at)metrocast(dot)net if you can help me out.

     

    Thanks!

  6. Hi All,

       I found these two kits while cleaning out my closet this afternoon! A friend found them at a yard sale and gave them to me several years ago and I forgot about them. The latest copyright date on the boxes is 1973. I'm not a collector so I'd like to pass them on.

     

    I'm asking $25 each or both for $45; make an offer if you want. Payment by PayPal Friends and Family preferred; USPS money orders or well concealed cash will work as well. Will ship by USPS Priority, at cost, as tracking and insurance is included. PM me or send an email to jm190(at)metrocast(dot)net.

     

    Thanks for looking!

  7. Hi All,
       I'd like to finish my Revell Tornado IDS in a "Plain Jane" Luftwaffe Norm 76 or 83 color scheme and markings. I couldn't find any aftermarket decals with these schemes but maybe I didn't look hard enough.  It appears that a few of the Italeri Tornado IDS kits had options for what I'm looking for. I'd be happy to pay for a partial sheet to fit my needs if you have something available. Please PM me or send an email to jm190(at)metrocast(dot)net. 

    Thanks!

  8. They're gone!

    I have a Paasche VL and VJR for sale as a package. Both are in very good condition.

    The VL has fine, medium and heavy heads along with three paint cups. There are spare needles for each size and spare tips for the fine and medium heads. There is a spare fine head. Wrenches included.

    The VJR has a fine head and comes with a spare needle and tips.

    I’m asking $75.00 shipped in the US or best offer. PayPal preferred but a money order will work just as well. Please PM me or contact me by email if you're interested at jm190(at)metrocast(dot)net.

    Thanks for looking!

  9. Kit found!

    Looking to buy a kit of this aircraft. I probably can't afford a Trimaster boxing so I'll stick with DML/Dragon or Italeri. It can be box and bags opened as long as it's complete and un-started. I can pay with PayPal or USPS money order. If you have one, please reply by PM or to my email at jm190(at)metrocast(dot)net.

    Thanks for looking!

    John
