Thanks for the "heads-up".......! I've added my email to the waiting list on Hannants site! Regards, Tim

Been looking high & low for this sheet but so far no joy. My guess is this probably a VERY long shot but as they say, "ya never know to ya ask." Anyway, I'm looking for the Xtradecal sheet# X72303 Westland Sea King Collection. Am willing to pay $30.00 plus shipping (would prefer a seller here in the USA but will entertain sales from abroad as long as the postage isn't too bad) Thanks for looking! Tim

My kit is new and still in a sealed box. I'm looking for the Xtradecal Sheet X72303 - the one that covers the various British Westland Sea King Helicopeters. Please email at: gnomad781(at)gmail.com if interested in doing a straight swap. P.S. I'm in NJ.

She is a REAL beauty!! Great job & thanks for sharing with us. Cheers! Tim

Wow, I love both kits but especially the Vega! Nicely executed Geoff!

One word, SWEET! Okay, let me add another adjective just because your work really deserves it, INSPIRATIONAL!! Cheers, Tim

Love it! As Caudleryan has already mentioned, the livery is definitely very striking. Just one quick question if you don't mind, where did you get the stand? Did you make it yourself or did it come with the kit? Again, very nicely done!

I'm looking to build a 1/72 Westland Sea King HU.5 from the 771 Naval Air Squadron based at RNAS Culdrose back in 1996. This was the bird that had a "reddish" nose section, tailboom section, and sponsons and featured a Club of Spades (?) logo on the nose and both sides of the fuselage. Anyway I've found a Mr. Hobby Color for the main body structure but I was wondering if anyone knew of a good color mix using Gunze Mr. Hobby paints for the "reddish" areas. Thanks! Ti

Okay, let's see how things play out.

Hi John, Thanks for that insight. Seeing as how I really enjoy rubbing shoulders with modelers from all around the world I'd really love to visit the show in Telford and a couple of the other big shows in Europe one day!! I think the thing I enjoy about visiting the club tables is that I can often times speak to the actual builder of a model that catches my eye!! I just don't get that same chance at the shows here in the U.S.😧

Like I said....I cannot be certain why there are not more Americans who don't attend the Shizuoka Hobby Show. Maybe some of my fellow Americans could shed some light on the reason they don't attend. I guess considering the sheer size of the show in Shizuoka I am somewhat bewildered that more of them don't make the journey. Maybe it has more to do with the cost & distance - who really knows?? Anyway I was just taking a guess based on my own unique personal experiences. While over the past 25+ years I have attended countless number of modeling shows throughout the U.S. (includin

Hi Brian, I've attended the 2016 & 2017 Shizuoka Hobby Shows and I've seen several visitors from different European and other Asian countries but not really whole lot of Americans. I know the distance and cost is probably a huge factor in keeping most Americans from attending but from my own personal perspective the Shizuoka Hobby Show is totally worth the money & time. I can't speak for certain but I sometimes get the sense that a lot of Americans tend to prefer participating in "competitive" events whereas culturally the same is not as true with the Japanese. Cheer

I have put together a team of American model builders who are going to be attending this year's Shizuoka Hobby Show in Shizuoka, Japan. For those of you who might not be familiar with the Shizuoka Hobby Show it is arguable the largest plastic model exhibition in the world. The show itself is housed in two very large exhibition halls. One of the halls is filled with professional trade displays from the various major Japanese model companies such as Tamiya, Hasegawa, Bandai, Aoshima,, and a few of the lesser companies as well. The 2nd exhibition hall is where over 130 model clubs from all ov
