Nice! Got the "J-3 Cub Goes To War" boxing in the stash and I'll refer to your insights when it comes time to build it. I want to do mine as a civilian plane and decals for one comes with the release but the trouble is finding Cub Yellow paint.

I find it helpful when I don't want to put a 426 hemi in every single Mopar kit I build.

I take advantage all the time. Had a few broken down older builds in The Naughty Closet and managed to rebuild a couple (so far) with parts bought on ebay. As mentioned, beats wasting a new kit just for the bits. Kinda defeats the purpose of saving an older build by using parts from a new and complete kit. Also gives me an opportunity to buy parts that were added to a newer release of a kit that I have so I can build that particular version. Dragon 1/35 armor kits are an excellent example.

Once or twice a day to see if it's still here. Slowest sinking ever.

The immediate advantage to a new forum is whoever runs it will have the control over new accounts which should eliminate a lot of the spamming issues. It's my understanding Steve is the only one who can implement changes here which isn't helpful at all.

I went grocery shopping last night. It hurt.

It's my understanding from The Jet Guys that those old Monogram Century Series kits are still the better from an accuracy standpoint. I too have trouble finding upgrades for "superseded" kits but Scalemates (a good source for finding potential upgrades) tells me I'm close to 350 in the stash so I have the time to be patient with my search 👍

I used image shack after the great photobucket collapse but these days all the forums I post photos on allow uploading direct to the site. Been years since I've needed a photo host site.

I tried that over a year ago, when I could still find it. No response, no affect. They're not going to go away. How much longer do you want to play wack-a-mole?

Used to go to a shop between Marysville and Yuba City when I lived in Marysville. I think it's E&H Hobbies now-769 Plumas St, Yuba City.

It's my understanding (and I could be wrong) that they get paid by the post.

It costs nothing to post a message here.

I bought my sister a gallon of Elmers as a Christmas gag gift a long time ago. She was working at a newspaper at the time and I told her she could dump it in with the ink and see how that works out. She still uses it as a doorstop.

I've rarely waited more than 3 weeks for something to show up from China. Something that's rather dicey since last summer when the dismantling of the USPS really started to show but I haven't bought many kits lately either. And never an issue on ebay. I only got stiffed once in the last 24 years and ebay reimbursed me within 3 days.
