  1. Hello. I love scribers too πŸ˜‰ Gotta have a decent selection of them which i now have after many years of buying various scribers. For sure no scriber is worth $100, that`s just a load of BS. These days there is certainly a lot to choose from so you need to know your way around town. I am guessing you are after a scriber that leaves a flat surface in the groove, not a V shape like most of the 1st generation scribers did. Another thing is to distinguish between a scriber and a chisel. They are not the same thing. Personally i don`t like the fragile looking "thin tip" scribers which many of your l
  2. Since my topic is so closely related, i will ask here instead of starting a new topic. I want to steal the contents inside my Tamiya acrylic white spray can and use it with my airbrush instead. Never tried this before but i`ve read about people doing this. I believe the term is decanting? ..a term originating from the fine wine department?! ..where you soak up the upper layers of the liquid. I don`t know if the Tamiya cans use a liquid propellant so not really sure if i need to go for the upper "sediment" or use all of the contents in the can. Will my airbrush deliver a finer atomization than
  3. What if any is the affiliation with Academy of Korea? Minicraft, this is a US company right?
  4. The old Matchbox kits technically also have recessed panel lines so this is nothing new. Just like the new Revell and Airfix kits, it seems trench warfare never goes out of fashion. I`m not old enough to remember what came before Matchbox but i am sure recessed panel lines were a thing long before 1980.
  5. Just making some headway here, lol..
  6. Hmm, outbound or inbound ? Nice catch, i can think of at least one more. All subjects apply, ships, subs, cars, figures and so on.
  7. New Price - $450 shipped - BUMP ! This is my rock bottom for this lot just so y`all know. Thanks for eyeballing πŸ˜‰
  8. While certainly not having any recent events in mind, let`s see how many hits we can muster. So dear members, how many of you out there is able to find model kit box arts that include the Golden Gate bridge? Since i am the topic starter, i will begin the show πŸ™‚
  9. You should be happy you have a chance to model this old kit. The challenges must be overcome but this is what modeling is all about. Take it for what it is and be happy.
  10. I believe you are missing the main point here. My reason for reporting this item is because it was involved in fraudulent activity and hence the spotlight should be focused on the italian ebay seller. Whether or not ebay pulls this listing is irrelevant. As long as ebay is informed this seller is being "red flagged" by users, this is pretty much what it boils down to. I think most of us if not all at some point have sent money via friends & family when buying stuff but this is merely a digression.
  11. I tried it on my mobile phone which for sure has a different browser and now the Report Category bar gets an orange outline/frame and there is still no dropdown menu to choose from. I would very much like to see a screendump from your computer where the dropdown menu works and what options there are so i won`t have to go around feeling paranoid all the freggin time.
  12. What if i told you i too use Google Chrome. Reporting the item Does Not Work for me, plain and simple.
  13. Actually while on that listing i tried to click the "report item" but none of the "tick boxes" worked. They were all faded as not in use. HUMBUG !!! In the Report Category and "select from a list of report categories" when i clicked that, there is just an empty bar appearing under it and if you can not select anything in the above bar, the below bars will just stay inactive so no way to report this item. Proof ebay is just one giant fraud?
  14. The nerve of some people. Now this guy has the audacity to relist the very magazine i already bought and paid from him to scam some other unfortunate soul. https://www.ebay.com/itm/185499662855?hash=item2b30a43a07:g:eHYAAOSwn3tikAXI
  15. I sold an item on ebay a few years ago for a pretty penny. It was $150 plus $25 intl. shipping but immediately i felt bad for the buyer so after the buyer in USA had paid up, i cancelled the ebay order, refunded the guy the money and got in touch with the buyer and told him hey, let`s make our own arrangement which we did and i let him have it for $75 plus shipping via PP friends and family. Now i don`t know how many times you can get away with doing that, but my logic is since ebay is being such a jerk and charging all those silly fees, why can`t i doublecross ebay every now and then. They re
  16. A short update.. Thankyou - Seawinder - for sharing the Heller link. I attempted to fill in the missing parts form and indeed, the decals i requested arrived a few weeks later free of charge. Wow, this was almost like going back in time to the good old days when you could mail the included missing parts label to Airfix/Heller and get the spare parts for free πŸ™‚ That being said, my sudden emotional rush soon got overpowered when my eyes scrutinized the decal sheet. I am sorry to say this was a case of OOR. Either the winds were blowing very strong the day they printed these dec
  17. Hey all, This one is right around 20 years old, been sitting here all that time unmolested since i don`t do acrylics. Seems to have held up well against the element of time. I think i heard these are no longer available so selling if anyone is willing to buy it from me. As i am in Norway, you would most likely be looking at intl. shipping. Thanks, BjΓΈrn in Norway
  18. Well it seems it helped speed things up posting it here on arcair πŸ˜‰ Shipment was delivered today around 9 days after landing in Chicago.
  19. Hmm, makes me wonder if the Chicago facility is a one man operation. This is the type of thing they make documentaries about with hidden cameras, lol. I like the zip code of that place...60666.
  20. So i sold a kit on ebay two weeks ago, wrapped it up and shipped out. Shipment took only five days to reach its destination. Shipment arrived in Chicago (O`Hare?) on sunday the 24th and now, 7 days later no more tracking updates. Is this normal? Apr 24, 2022 10:17am ARRIVED AT INTERNATIONAL SERVICE CENTER ISC CHICAGO IL (USPS), 60688 Apr 24, 2022 10:17am INBOUND INTO CUSTOMS 60688 https://tools.usps.com/go/TrackConfirmAction?qtc_tLabel
  21. So is Heller still alive?
