Last night I watched the video again wanting to see is Raymond Lucas was in there. He doesn't seem to be in it; if that matters much. What caught me eye was a lonely Hs129 setting there. I've read several times that there were no Hs129's to survive the war, but there was at least one!!! What happened to it? gary

I have the Eduard kit, and it fits all my wants excellently. Have never seen the Hasegawa kit in the box, but knowing them; I'll say it's plenty good enough. I'd also prefer the Wildcat over the Hellcat. gary

well I'd rather had a two seater, but I'll still buy a couple of them gary

What are your top 5 dream model kits?
ChesshireCat replied to CorsairMan's topic in General Discussion
still want a good 1/48th Lockheed Hudson. Now I'd like an Avro York and maybe a new tooled Halifax while on the wish list kick, I'd just be beyond myself if Revell would do a re-issue of the 1/32 Lysander and He162!!! gary -
I gather you have never seen the real thing in the flesh. Just a really smooth and slick skin. I thought the afterburner cans (?) left something to be desired, and the cockpit is somewhat bland looking. Yet you won't see much of anything inside. gary

I don't know what it is, but it's not a BF109 of any kind. You need to find the Dragon / Cyberhobby kit. The E3/E4 kit will build just about all of them out to an E7 (note; not real sure about an E1). gary

John; I would goto the AMK Facebook sight. Bet you'll find a set gary

LF Revell 1/48 B-17G Prop
ChesshireCat replied to fasteagle12's topic in The Spares Box - add scale to your title
I'm your guy! I have a junk kit that somebody screwed up in the interior in. The wings and ETC. have never been touched. Do you need anything else, cause it ain't doing me any good? P.M. me when you get the time gary -
there you go right from the source! Up near the II-Corp border you mostly saw bombs and napalm under them. We didn't see them a lot, and usually when our butts were in a bind. Keep in mind that the food chain starts from the south, so we never knew what a snakeye was till March 68 in I-Corp. gary
-
be thinking about snakeyes and big napalm tanks! A few rocket pods here and there, but Napalm and snakeyes were almost a standard load out gary

amen glt

saddest thing in our world is that the best F100 kit is forty years young! The Trumpeter kit is something, but not an F100 anything!! You could get rich with a modern new tooled F100 that is correct gary
-
I knew that somebody would wise up and do the Cobra in 1/35th scale, but who? I'd really like a 1/35th scale Jolly Green chopper and somebody else do a 1/35th scale Loach. gary

ICM is coming out with an OV10 this fall. Looks very nice. I'd like a new tolled B26 just like you gary
-
Hasegawa does a P47d in both styles. Nothing slightly wrong with the Revell FW190's, but ZM is soon to start the FW and 109 saga. gary

Anyone knows what happened to this e-vendor?
ChesshireCat replied to modelmax's topic in General Discussion
In my area, there are few bargins at the shows to be honest. Prices are usually fair, but after market is actually cheaper at Spru Brothers most of the time. What you look for is the odd part that is out of production. I tend to go thru the decals pretty heavilly, but the last few times there were not much to select from. I know of at least six guys that stopped going to Indy because of the Turk. A twelve noon buy out is a joke, and they know it. Yet what raised my hackles the most was when one of the club members bragged about going into the vendor area the night before and buying up the good -

ChesshireCat replied to modelmax's topic in General Discussion
looks like they are out of business, and maybe that's an excuse to once again attend modeling shows. I won't begin to miss them gary -
actually Russian military grade tubes are very much sought after these days. Plus there are some advantages to tubes verses transistors. They don't go belly up during a nuclear explosion, and of course in an amp they clearly sound better gary

The Airfix kit is not going to work for a B17f without a good bit of rework to it. The old Promodeler may be the best one out there in 1/72 scale gary
-
I'll be all over that one!! I actually find the D to be dull. What I'd go nuts for would be a P51a or even the A36 gary
-
Honestly; I'd love to see them tackle a few oddball airframes! That MK.XIIe would just be a killer. Another one I'd love would be a Lysander Special Duties plane, or a generic Fi156 Storch. By the way the Dragon BF110 kits are pretty nice. Of all the airframes out there in 1/32 scale, I'd probably like to see them do an AR234 with all the bells and whistles! gary
-
The only Spitfire I'd seriously be interested in right now is a MK.XII in 32 scale. On the otherhand it appears that Z/M will be doing a 109 G2 / G4 and the first one being a G14 (AS?). I was sorta wanting them to do a 109F2 / F4/ F5 and then move into the G and K series. gary

I thought that HKM was the one doing the P51b/c airframe? gary

1/48 Arado AR-234 cameras wanted
ChesshireCat replied to ReccePhreak's topic in The Spares Box - add scale to your title
now I'm keeping one set of cameras for that F5 project! Did not Quickboost do a 1/32 set? gary
