Proposal: TOPGUN Group Build for the 50th Anniversary
tosouthern66 replied to Raceaddict's topic in General Discussion
One might, but I can't. I'm lucky if I get a model built within a year. I have so many kits started and not finished it ain't funny. But yet I'm planning on this GB. What was I thinking? -

Any one have a source to get 1/72 scale decals for 14'2 and 18's for this build? I've looked everywhere I could think of and have no luck. -

Viper I had ordered a replacement part for an Legacy Hornet and it took almost 8 months to get the part. When I received the part it was broken in the same spot as the original part. Contacted them (Hobbico) and they reordered the part. Took 6 months to get the second and in one piece.

Thanks for the info on the rocket pods.

Now that is one sweet looking Legacy Bug! Where did you get the rocket pods from?

I found the Hobby Boss 1/72 F-5E kit at Hobby Lobby $15.99 with the 40% off coupon it came out to $10.38 so I picked one up just to see how Hobby Boss kits look like. My impression is it looks like an Academy kit the way it is set up and the way the plastic is molded. SO I will have an F-5E to add to the F-16N kit. -
What's the new web address for Revell?

Question? What kit is recommended in the following scales? 1/72 F-5 Hobby Boss or Italeri 1/48 F-5 What's out there other than AFV -
Elmo Sweet build! Can not wait to see the finished kit.

I am unable to buy kits at that small discount. I have to rely on the big discounts to get kits. Especially now I will have to rely on them. In the past I would buy maybe 1 or two kits at regular price per year. Now I can't even do that. This kills those of us that are on a tight budget.
-
I was looking forward to getting the kit but now with Tamiya's pricing decision, I will not be buying any more kits from them.

Tamiya Minimum Advertised Price controls?
tosouthern66 replied to Jonathan_Lotton's topic in General Discussion
I will not be buying any Tamiya kits anymore and I know of many others that will follow. -
Tamiya Minimum Advertised Price controls?
tosouthern66 replied to Jonathan_Lotton's topic in General Discussion
If they do it they are making a mistake. It will only hurt their brand. There will people that will pay the minimum price for kits but there will be many more that pass like Scooby did. -
GEICO AGENT: Hello this is GEICO Insurance how may I help you today? CO: Yes, I had a slight accident with some of my equipment. GEICO AGENT: Sure we can help you get the repairs done on that. How much damage was done to the vehicles? CO: Mama the vehicles were not damaged they were destroyed. GEICO AGENT: Oh! OK, may I ask how this happened? CO: We dropped them out of an cargo plane for a training evolution and someone forgot to install the safety pins on the parachute harness. GEICO AGENT: Were sorry, we don't cover stupidity claims!
