  1. Thanks. I didn’t think to look there.
  2. Have a kitbash in mind but need a complete set if intakes from a 1/48 F-4.
  3. Received a second hand 1/24 Trumpeter P-51. It is missing the entire cockpit except the side panels. The Airfix kit is the wrong size. Any help?
  4. I won a started, Trumpeter P-51 from the Goodwill auction site. It has no cockpit. No panel, tub, seat, no anything. Any help on sourcing replacements? thanks

    CMK XP-55 resin kit

    Normally, resin kits are rather simple. This one is set up differently. http://imgur.com/FreSnKV This might be what was intended as instructions. http://imgur.com/RyiAMvN This is the box . http://imgur.com/3w0VjSd

    CMK XP-55 resin kit

    I recently bought a 1/72 resin kit of the XP-55 Ascender. The label says CMK, but the box has Aviation Usk Nebraska . It has no instructions and is not listed on the scalemates site. Anyone know where I could find a set of instructions? Thanks Dennis
  8. Got this kit from a Facebook auction. Detail sucks and the tracks don’t seem to fit. ‘Anyone know of correction products for this kit or how to fix the tracks? I tore one trying to wrap it around the road wheels.
  9. Take a picture of it and then resuze and post.
  10. Would any existing kits have compatible tracks for the Esci Jagdpanzer?
  11. Are there any 1/72 Jagdpanzer aftermarket tracks out there? I have a Esci kit I want to improve.

    B-26 builds

    I have a very rough 1/72 Airfix B-26, a Revell 04325-0389 B-26 and a Monogram kit. The Airfix is deing rebuilt with the Eduards photoetch as well as some resin parts. I just can’t find anything oline about working on the Revell or Monogram kits pr which variant they build into. Any help?
  13. I’ve aquired 2 Tamiya 1/32 F-14’s from online auction, one 1994 and one Blacknight. The 1994 was mostly assembled, but very poorly. It included a set of Eduard photoetch, aftermarket ejection seats and wheel, all of which were not used. The Blacknights kit was also started, but oly the cockpit/ front fussalage and main body with some painting and photoetch used. It was also missing the instructions, which i printed from Scalemates.com, and decals. The 1994 kit has aftermarket decals plus the kit set, so I have everythinng I need to build both kits. Who has built this kit using Eduard photoetch
  14. Does anyone know if the Scale Aircraft Conversion ser for the Trumpeter Wildcat would work for the Revell kit?
  15. Looking for a set for above kit. Mine broke and are not liking my repair attempts.
  16. Thanks for the tips. Between school work, going through the sruff i salavged from the house and everything else, i hope to try some of these before the months out. I’ll update with results.
  17. Back from PA and mostly caught up on what needed caught up on. There was no will. To do anything with the estate, for lack of a better term, requires a will, but since there is noe, we have to probate one. One of my cousins volunteered to probate the will and act as executor for the purpose of demolitioning the house. The taxes were up to date and we had the county come out and re-asses the propertys value. It went from 10,500 to 500. Yes, that bad. The house is not so much as condemed as we will jot allow anyone to live in it. The sole brother that was living there is being put up by hi
  18. I salvaged some small, wood and plastic display boxes from my parents house. They spent years exposed to dust and heavy kerosine soot. I disassembled them and scrubbed them with dawn dish soap and sanitizers. The clear plastic is still discolored. Any tips on how to remove the discoloration?
  19. So far the cause of death is listed as sepsis. No one has received the remains back from the creamatorium yet. We don’t know why it’s taking so long. My fathers remians were back ina few days, not a week plus.We’ve had a distant family memeber, a third or fourth cousin from mom’s side, offer to take over the property, bury the waste 12’ down, remove all the teash for recycling and work on restoring the house. That will depend on what the county and EPA has to say tomorrow, the 29th. The shingles are asbestos, so bulldozing the house makes it a hazardous waste cleanup. More to follow.
  20. It’s not so much being legaly compelled, more like therapy.
  21. My mother passed away in her sleep Friday morning. From what I understand, her bed has been the couch for a while now. Not sure if before or after my Fathers passing. She’s been having health issues and, in a way, I believe she was ready to go. While she was my mother, she was not a great mother. SHe treated other kids better then her own, to say the least. The house she lived in, and that i spent the majority of my childhood in, since 1975 is a hoard. The toliet broke in 1979 and was never fixed. Water was supplied by a well, but the last pump went out long ago and was never repl
  22. Made him an offer that he refused. I’m going to keep looking. At those prices, it’d be cheaper to just buy a whole kit.
  23. This is a long shot, but here goes. Won a Goodwill auction for a nearly complete, like new P-47D Razorback. As it goes with these auctions, they provide pictures of the item, so there is a chance the condition realy sucks or its not complete. In this case, it’s both. The majority of the parts are still factory sealed. However; the prior owner chopped up the fuselage halves. They’re not even complete. He did include most of the fuselage from the Revel P-47 Razorback, but that too is incomplete. So, out of desperation, i turn here in search of a set of Trumpeter 1/32 P-47D Razorback
