That is very cool. Maybe a nod to the originals and add an OG Continental Marine somewhere. I was looking and saw a great example on the cover of Leatherneck Mag, Nov. 1992

Re Surface shipping....My last orders took almost one year to arrive and I still have one item ordered that did not go with the other items and get this it still has not shipped, it's stuck in that full reserve waiting..... no excuse to not include a normal size kit with the rest of items ordered. LM's shipping is just not organized. One instance I received 2 boxes from the same order on the same day which were shipped with separate postage charges. Thinking likely not the only time this happens and can see why they raised surface shipping. I have been a customer for so many years but the exc

That is one awesome workspace /showroom.

For me my dream A/C kits in 1/48 would be New Tooled F3D Skyknight, Legacy Hornets A-D, F4U-4/5/6(AU-1)/7, F9F Panthers, F2H's. Here's the deal I want Tamiya to be the company to do them...Never gonna happen but this is a Dream wish list right....

Short answer is in 1/48(only scale A/C I really build) No. Because of your question I did some thinking. If memory serves me correctly the last new tool 1/48 jet was the F-22 way back in 2008,9, or 10. The last 1/48 chopper was the AH-64 in the early 2010s and a new prop was the Japanese float plane "Dave" in maybe 2014-16. They are the king of reboxes and lately a good number of those are based on anime series. I just got the the Ace Combat 7 boxing b/c inside all the parts are the same as the PT-49 or 07249 F-15C plastic... you'll just need military decals.

Not sure how they are attached. My approach with most resin parts is to score the join area with the backside of an X-Acto blade . I make several light to moderate "cuts" til I get it cut through. Sometimes I make the cut right at the attachment point to the part if possible but most times I leave some of the pour material attached and work it with smaller cuts with the blade then sand to shape. If you are worried about detail maybe a piece of tape will offer some protection. HTH

Lot of boom coming down. Thanks for sharing the video.

I asked George(Tamiya Rep) at last years Nat's about the F-35C and got the same response. One thing for sure Tamiya keeps their releases top secret.

All I can say is I tired to do that with future coated canopy and it did not turn out so great. I will add I have recently been using all 3 of the Tamiya polish products and the result is fantastic and I see no need to dip the canopy.

If you're tired of Q-tips leaving behind invisible threads only to be discovered after some paint try some Polyester Cleaning Swabs I use them to clean off washes and they are able to be cleaned off and reused. Bought a 100 ct pack years ago and I've used about half because they are so durable. I bought this brand but they were way cheaper back then.... 6.3" Double Layer Polyester Cleaning Swab Sticks for Solvent Format Inkjet Printer Roland Optical Equipment .

Bad A$$ery

Same here. Thank You

@Raymond Chung Thank You

🤣 Don't worry cause it will only be my package.🤣

@Raymond Chung I got a tracking update for my 14-21 day delivery airmail package. According to USPS No one was there to sign for it in Topeka KS so it is headed back to you in HK or China....I hope this is not the case as it's already been a month wait. I know you're working out some bugs and as I said earlier not complaining but pointing things out to help you work out any glitches. Thank You Brian
