Hi guys & gals, Finally gotten around to sorting the decal sheets included in my four Kagero books which i don`t need. I am hoping to move these to a new owner who has an interest in these scales. Some very nice sheets on offer here, take a look at the pics they are all in excellent condition. Asking US $35 shipped (worldwide) Payment can be made using paypal or bank transfer. I AM SELLING THE PICTURED DECALS ONLY, THE FOUR KAGERO BOOKS ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THIS LOT ! https://imgur.com/a/ehaf1ru Thankyou for your interest

I have several massive JANES books. Should provide good quality TP for the next couple centuries worth of pandemics. No offence, Jane..

When someone comments they have the "Tamiya Spit" do they even stop and consider there are two completely different Tamiya Spits around ? How are we to know which one they are referring to? NEW & OLD please folks so there is no doubt what we are talking about. As for me, i have the OLD Tamiya Spitifire which is a nice kit, well mostly because it is a Tamiya kit 🤩 When manufacturers constantly keep putting out the same old type, at some point you say, OK enough is enough. You can`t just keep buying the newest kit around all the time. I think there is a word for that, but can`t think of it r

How about these ? https://no.pinterest.com/pin/565905509418444870/

Another Spitfire kit in the making...what has this world come to ?

Anyone tried the BORDER "Black Flame" airbrushes yet ? They were sold a year back on ebay from China for cheap, than went missing only to reappear in Australia with Amodeler/BNA modelworld for twice the price. Still pissed about that because i was aiming to buy one before the pricetag blew out of proportions.

This is how it looked from my point of view when i first made the post. Don`t know why you`re not seeing it.

Here`s a twist. I`m busy listing books to sell. Got my hands on a booklot from an estate in my vicinity a good while back....all for free! All aviation related and talking approx. 6-700 lbs. I`ve cherry picked me a couple titles for my own collection but 98% i`m moving on to new owners. What can i say, i got lucky. This pic was taken AFTER the car was emptied of most of the books. Easy $1000 worth. I just sold three books for $100, lol. Haven`t even sold a small fraction and sold for maybe $3-400 by now. The car was also free. Given to me by my uncle just a few days prior to the booklot showin

Gawd i love that sweet wooden smell every time i open up my Aztek box. So they are no longer being made huh? I`m sure there will be quite a few listed on ebay for years to come. Testors, true to their word sent me a brand new airbrush after i used the lifetime warranty on this product, but only after i returned the old one. I always wanted the metal one, but to be honest the Aztek is a good backup airbrush, never was my primary air tool. They are maybe an even bigger asset for artists. I`ve tried shooting a little on canvas with water based paints and this is where it really shines.

I bought a kit on ebay in 2012. Exchange rates wise, i paid NOK 5.8 for 1 USD. Today that number is a staggering NOK 10.5. INSANE ! I started selling now instead, lol.

I`m safely tucked away on my little cloud. Nobody can touch me.

Bit late to the party, but thanks for the tip. Just ordered the Yak-1 & Luftwaffe attackers sheets. This purchase was a nobrainer for me.

After being active on ebay for the past 10 years or so, in late december i had to open a case against a seller in Poland. Guy shipped four kits overseas in nothing but bubblewrap and they came to me damaged. Needless to say i was not thrilled. Not gonna name any names for matters of privacy. I ended up returning the merchandise (tracked) and afterwards filed for a return ship reimbursement which i received after a week or so. I had to present PP with a picture of the return shipment and a copy of the shipping label. Paypal does not cover return shipping costs any higher than roughly $25 which

If you live in the rural countryside, i have seen some ebay sellers make a note in their description "i only ship out this or that day/only mondays and fridays" etc. etc. Some sellers really lay it all out in the description in bold & red letters while others like to keep it short "Got this kit for sale, thanks for looking". Personally, i`m somewhere in the middle. Selling should be fun so don`t make it sound dramatic like the buyer is signing a prenuptial agreement. Get used to simple phrases to describe the condition and what you have for sale. Also, good quality pictures are key element

Just don`t expect to get a ton of money for your kits. Try to give the buyer a sweet deal say if he buys more. The longer you sit on your unwanted kits the more time it will take to free yourself of them and time is more important when you`re retired. I remember i once got an Academy B-29 parts sealed from an ebayer somewhere in Texas for $22 plus shipping. I knew this guy just wanted to move on and not sit on his kits for ages trying to get an acceptable price. What is more worth, your time or your kits? Seasons Greetings from Norway !

Careful not to let the scriber eat into that soft metal ruler. You could dull the backside of the scriber tip and only use it for pulling back (reverse) since this is what comes natural for the hand motion. I have that scriber tool but i believe it is one of the more basic scribers out there. I only use mine for cutting pieces from plastic sheet. Glad to see you sanded down the raised edges. Welcome to the forums.

Seen that kit floating around ebay for a couple months now, not that boxing though. Looks very very impressive. Arma hobby is the same as Attack Squadron which again is Brengun which again is very confusing. Would be interesting to put it next to a Matchbox Hurricane and see how they compare.

If you`re not working, your hobby becomes work. A labour of love we can all relate to. Indeed semantics are fun 😉 WORK: "Activities involving mental or physical effort in order to achieve a purpose or result"

Anyone have one of those fancy elevating desks where the smaller the scale the higher you go? I`ve seen some used ones floating around and can`t help thinking i need one. That way i could implement different policies for different levels 😉

What is your 3 unwritten rules of engagement before taking a seat at your hobby bench? Here`s mine, # Make sure access to room is under strict control/lockdown. # Next months electric bill has been paid. # Keep all open containers out of arms reach.

Your only chance if you should be unfortunate enough to buy any of the new stuff. It may hold up to some home improvement project. Maybe they tried to reach the broader audience while giving the modeling folks a cold shoulder. I`m sitting here with two green and two white tubes and not even sure i `m gonna bother trying to sell them off to some other unfortunate chap. Indeed, Tamiya seems to have their shitzu in one piece so i say go for the Tamiya fillers.

Another day, another finding. Probably my last one for a while. This time, the 1:72 scale SB2C Helldiver from CyberHobby. Again the numbers are striking. Kit box: 168 grams Instr/dec/p.e: 42 grams Empty sprues: 73 grams Actual kit parts: 40 grams Total weight: 323 grams/11.39 Oz. Just wanted to shed some light on this fellers and put things into perspective. There`s money in those numbers.

Hah, i need to tell this to my modeling friend who isn`t into arc or any other modeling forums. He turned 40 on november 15th, 2019, lol.

While keeping to the subject, i had a closer look at my S.M. 82 Italeri kit. What i found was very surprising. Kit box: 230 grams. Booklet/decals: 88 grams. Empty sprues: 137 grams. Actual kit parts: 142 grams. Total weight: 597 grams. That huge Italeri box would most likely have enough space inside it to accomodate for 10 S.M. 82 kits. There`s a LOT of dimensional weight hiding in there.
