I know what i'm getting for Christmas.
-
I'm in. Also i'd like to donate a kit for the raffle. Since it is my first time and i haven't had any experience with mailing packages across the globe, i'll start slow this first year and donate a Revell 1/32 Messerschmitt Bf109 G-6 Late & early version (boxnumber: 04665). Forgot to write that is new in unopened box.

i saw it last Friday and i must agree, it is a great movie. Nice action, cool tanks. On the downside, it isn't all that realistic at times and there are a lot of clichés. But overall, a very entertaining and cool movie.
-
Come on guys, i already bought my kit.
-
If i promise to make two kits, can i vote twice?
-
I'm in. I hope this GB gets enough votes because it will be my first and i can't wait to go out and buy a Arado ar 240c-2 for this build.
-
Nice build. Makes me want to start my 1/72 mustang B. I've always liked the b and c more than the d version.
-
Never mind than. I'll stick to the 1/144 one.
-
I noticed in the revell newsletter that they released a 1/72 concorde. Where is this coming from. I can't seem to find anything about it. Is it a rebox?

I'm glad to see that some of you share a similar experience as me. -
Why are the top modelers mostly from Europe and SE Asia?
streetstream replied to chuck540z3's topic in General Discussion
I actually agree with you. I just think it is a perception problem. -
Did it ever happen to some of you that you never interrested in a certain plane, yet something triggers you to suddenly like it alot more? For instance, i never really thought of the F 14 as a beautiful plane. It was nice to see it in Top Gun, but i never really loved it. Untill a friend gave me a 1/72 F 14D kit as he was quiting the hobby. I started building it (it is not finished yet btw) and suddenly was really impressed by the shape and the size of it. It totally let me see the F 14 in a different light. A strange, but lovely experience. I had a similar yet less intence epiphany with t

35? Try 44 without overtime. -
Ever watched fox news? :D

To me the crash at Uberlingen comes to mind. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%9Cberlingen_mid-air_collision There are alot of small things that went wrong and if even one didn't happen, the collision could have been avoided. 1) The controller was working 2 stations instead of one. 2) He had no working phones available to alert a nearby airport that a plane was making a late landing this occupied alot of his time). 3) Due to the phones not working a controller at another location couldn't Phone in a warning. 4) The cultural differences in handeling orders (Russian crews are taught to li

Thanks to all you guys for the tips. We plan on visiting late august, so the imperial war museum is an option.
-
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I never thought the underground goes so far. I thought it stuck to the city center. I love using the subway in London. It is so easy and fast. Ok, now i have to convince my girlfriend to let me go (and tag along). I just also located Hannants and will make a visit there too. Once again thank you. BTW, i anybody knows of any more good modelshops or museums (i'm alowed to pick one, but in my world that means two) let me know.

My girlfriend and i plan on viisting London this summer and i would like to know a few things. First of all, where are there any good modelshops in the city center (what is the one seen on the episode of "james may toy stories?)? We are staying near piccadilly circus. Also what is the fastest and easiest way (and also cheapest) way to get to the RAF museum? Is it true that Hannants is located near it? If someone who knows the region could answer my questions, i really appreciate it.

Has anyone here visited the invasion beaches at Normandy?
streetstream replied to Matt_S's topic in General Discussion
I went there last summer with my girlfriend and a couple of friends. One thing i can say, plan your trip carefully because there is much to see. If i were you, i would pass on a visit to "La memorial de Caen". It is a large museum but frankly it is boring. The "overlord" museum on the other hand is small but has alot of vehicles and is a feast for the eyes. "Pointe du hoc" is also very nice to see. You can't believe the power of bombs until you stand in one of the craters. In "la batterie de merville" you have a nice C 47 parked and in the gift shop you can buy a 1/72 italeri C 47 and when ch -
Not bad. Not bad at all.

I really like the scene in 'Catch me if you can' when Leonardo Di Caprio is in the jumpseat of what i believe is a 707 and it is taking off. The rest of the movie has some great 707 scenes and it really shows the true beauty of the type.

I read the dutch vesion of Taylor Downing's book 'Churchill's war lab'. It isn't the best book i've read, but i does show some great insights. It even gives anakdotes about Roosevelt which make me respect him more. I was a bit dissapointed by the attitude of Churchill (as portrayed by this writter), but in retrospect, given his age, i still have to have deep respect for him to do what he did. The way he stept up and kept on going, dispite his advanced age, is inspiring. I also read his book 'Spies in the sky' (also the dutch version) which is a book i can recommend to anyone because it sho

Just saw the Revell Facebook-page and it shows the 1/144 747-8F in Cargolux colors. This is really exciting.
