  1. The information I have so far is to expect a fair amount of time between the current release and the next version.. like "late Fall or possibly Winter". As with the B-25J, we'll begin Pre-orders for the next kit when it's in boxes and shipping information has been sent.
  2. 04/25 UPDATED delivery and UPS shipping info in the ARC MidTenn forum! Thanks!
  3. HK kit update: The boat with our kits docked 04/18/12, and the next steps are to unload and then clear U.S. Customs. HTH for those waiting!
  4. The kit is on the water and on the way! We expect to have it by end of April and are now taking Pre-orders for CONUS at $165.85!! LINK!! Also, because of the price, the kit qualifies for our 50% shipping discount, which will be applied when your order ships!
  5. We got notice yesterday afternoon that our first shipment of this kit is on the way, so it should be on the shelf in about 5 days, so it's available now for Pre-order! Click HERE! Jack
  6. It's not that Sprue Bros is choosing not to re-stock. Tamiya is just not available right now due to a labeling issue. Shouldn't be too much longer, but those of us that have any Tamiya paint are just selling from stock we all had before this issue came up. In the meantime, the suggestion about Smyrna Hobby was a good one. They're good people and, who knows.. maybe they have what you want. HTH Jack
  7. Someone gave you bad info. E-Z Masks is alive and well and doing business! The website is down because they are making some changes that have taken much longer than expected. As usual with some projects, what was supposed to take 24-48 hours is now into the second week. I talked to Chris at E-Z by phone today about an order, and the only thing he's concerned with is getting the website done and back online. Business is great and orders are being accepted. HTH Jack
  8. I'm not sure why you say "Obviously, you cannot expect... at the MidTenn site.", but that's exactly what I did! I put the announcement on my website, right at the top of the AMS category, and left it there for 60-90 days, until I got assurances from Harold and from Gordon that I had left it there long enough for AMS and Sprue to promote or advertise the change. At the time, it was my decision to let Harold discuss the move, which he announced in several forums. HERE is the announcemet that was on my website. It even contained a LINK to the AMS category at Sprue Bros. Gordon and I are friends
  9. Until the first week of November, the new Krome is available exclusively through MidTenn!
  10. I've been very happy with both Olfa and Alvin.
  11. On the other hand, he might get much improved idling and cold weather starts. Just a thought. Jack
  12. Did I see a secret surveillance team keeping an eye on Don for most of the day?
  13. Had a great time.. Indy is a first-rate chapter that hosts a first-rate show!! Was very pleased to see many old friends and also put faces with names! Bugfan? Somebody PM or something and let me know. the other other Jack
  14. Now THAT'S funny! Good one! Seriously, there are valid points by everyone. I looked at the checkout process and can see that someone who was in a hurry or had been sipping too much coffee might not notice all the choices in the pull-down menu for shipping. With 'decals only' being at the top, first choice, I can see it happening. But it doesn't look like something someone would do intentionally.
  15. Ken, don't get too carried away with this position of yours that there is no such thing as "price fixing". According to DOJ, price fixing is still very much a part of the American Anti-Trust laws. The two cases that you're so fond of quoting are not represented correctly, or in full, by your broad brush. The Brighton case is being appealed, the appeal holding that "lower courts have gone too far in applying the 2007 decision, reading it as giving manufacturers carte blanche to fix prices rather than analyzing each pricing agreement for its anticompetitive impact." Even if that were not the c
  16. Maybe I just don't spot it, but I don't think Big Texan was suggesting anyone "needs" plastic models. I think he was just mentioning an unrelated area in which price fixing has been very detrimental. On the other hand, I DO 'need' plastic models.
  17. MidTenn STILL CARRIES Paragon!! From a post I made earlier in response to this same statement: When the announcement was made that Paragon was closing, we were immediately contacted by collectors in order to purchase most or all of remaining stock. I decided that I'd rather take it offline for a brief time to wait for remaining stock to arrive and to let the dust settle a bit. I'd much rather see it go to individual modelers than to speculators and end up seeing it on ebay at higher prices. My prices will remain the same as before the announcement was made. If anyone has any questions abou
  18. Not true! MidTenn absolutely does carry Paragon. And we also have more inventory on the way. When the announcement was made that Paragon was closing, we were immediately contacted by collectors in order to purchase most or all of remaining stock. I decided that I'd rather take it offline for a brief time to wait for remaining stock to arrive and to let the dust settle a bit. I'd much rather see it go to individual modelers than to speculators and end up seeing it on ebay at higher prices. My prices will remain the same as before the announcement was made. Jack
  19. With all Cyrus' help and input, the Renegade Krome (RK-1) has been tested, approved and is now in production! You can see it on the MidTenn website, along with several pictures, and we're taking Pre-orders for it now! We expect to begin filling orders BEFORE mid-February! Click HERE! Jack
  20. Don is, as usual, exactly right! ALL Patriots come standard with the FINE needle/nozzle. And also with very solid customer support. Regarding the comment above about the Iwata Revolution BR being 'superior' and costing less.. superior is a tough term to chase around. What one person decides is better or superior has more to do with that person's experience, and is not neccessarily true for many other people. Cost is a moving target also. In the link above, the Revolution BR is, I think, $72.95 plus shipping. They offer free shipping for orders over $90. Our Badger Patriot is on sale right now
  21. Max.. Shoot me a PM and I might be able to help. Jack
  22. Sale runs for seven days starting today.. from December 15th through December 22nd! Includes our two best-selling models - the Patriot 105 and the Renegade Velocity! CLICK for details!!!
  23. Diffrent aibrush companies have different names for that valve.. Badger's is PAC, some use MAC.. but it's a connection or fitting under the airbrush with a small wheel or dial to allow adjustment of airflow without having to turn away from your work in order to make an adjustment at the compressor. It's also more precise in that you can see the effect as you turn the dial if you want to. HTH Jack
  24. I haven't built it.. just inspected the Lone Star parts when I got them, but my 'guess' would be probably a little bit of both, as with most resin.
