  1. where I want to purge my stash. I have no interest in this hobby anymore and medical problems are making it near impossible. Nearly all of my small stash has been started. Trying to list them with every detail and then trying to sell each one would be a pain. Not to mention having to find boxes to ship them all. I'd rather just give the whole lot away to someone and let them pick them up. What should I do? [/rant]

  2. I have two Eduard biplane kits that appear to have both been started, but hardly anything done and appear to be complete. I don't build string bags so whoever in the US who wants them can have them. They are a 1/48 Sopwith F.1 Camel and a 1/48 Bristol F.2B Fighter. Kits are free but it would be nice if whoever wants them would help cover the shipping.

  3. I have a Hobby Boss 1/48 F-105G for sale with the Eduard Zoom Colored PE for the cockpit. The kit has been partially started in that the cockpit has had detail removed and roughly sanded in preparation for the PE. The PE fixes the cockpit gap problem. Asking $25 shipped within the US or make an offer. Paypal or USPS money order only. No trades.

  4. Frequently (if not usually) covered on the ground.

    Not a disaster though. How about just a piece of K&S brass tubing of the proper size? Or Plastruct styrene tubing? Or a big fat piece of sprue? Not all disasters require aftermarket goodies :)

    I'd still have to drill the holes. And I failed at drilling holes in the indents on the kit barrel. :doh:

    I'll give it a coat of paint and hopefully it won't look that bad.

  5. In the wheel wells? Have a look at the thread. It's not at all that simple...

    No, but I don't care. It's just 1/72 scale and the only person who will see the kit is me. I'll keep it simple for me. I'm not too worried about all the spars and bits in ZCY. I'll just paint the wells IG and the doors some shade of aluminum/silver.

  6. I have a Thayer and Chandler Vega 2000 airbrush which works fine for me. My only complaint is that it is bottom feed and I always end up splashing paint around if I use the color cup rather than the bottle assembly.

  7. Models have an elastic demand. A small change in price can have a big change on whether or not it sells. Most hobby shop owners don't seem to know this and they keep their prices constant.

    It also doesn't help that they usually are charged high prices by their distributors [no names mentioned] and have to increase the price from that to make a profit.
