  1. I have these three sets of 1/350 Pit Road IJN Aircraft SBM02, SBM03, SBM04 for Sale. Prepainted with a decal sheet for additional markings. all are sealed. Any interest on here? Been searching around a bit, seem somewhat rare and not sure what they are worth. I'm located in Canada, so buyer would pay shipping cost from here, paypal only.
  2. Draw decals are DIGITAL Silk not ALPS printed. Not sure how that differs from traditional silk printed decals. Quality is good. Nice printing, and much more durable then ALPS printed. I've had good luck with them but have heard that they can be trouble with compound curves. Small price to pay for some unique subject matter. SeAN
  3. Pics of my recently Completed 1/48 Sanger vac B-47 as the CL-52 Orenda Iroquois testbed. Cheers!
  4. Hopefully the box of oddball vacs survives on to the new store. Highlight of every trip to the island 🙂
  5. Fantastic! A little sad for the loss of the iconic location, but great news that it will live on.
  6. Package showed up yesterday. Thank you so much!!!!!
  7. Excellent! Let me know what you'd like for them and how much to ship Sean
  8. Good day, Anyone have a couple spare AIM-7's from the 1/32 Academy F-18 kit? Need two for a project I'm working on. Cheers, Sean
  9. WTB 1/72 Dragon Saturn V. Any help finding one would be great! Thanks, Sean
  10. When I ordered he only had the 1 kit. Then I ordered the second. So I doubt it has anything to do with ramping up. Sometimes I wish guys like this would find a reliable distributor. Concentrate on production and leave everything else to someone who can handle it. Sean
  11. I've made two orders. Both off ebay when he was first getting started. Both times took a very very long time to get the kits. Little communication and when he did respond it was always the same lame excuses. I did eventually get both kits but decided the kit quality vs price wasn't really worth it. I've seen some chatter on FB saying similar things. Too bad because manufacturers who produce Air Racers are far and few between. Hope you get what you ordered, Sean
  12. Without a doubt the manufactures will survive. We are seeing new companies pop up every year. And together with the well established old favorites we are seeing a ton of new releases every year. Even someone like Revell isn't really gone, just restructured and split up. The hobby has evolved from a children's toy into the adult pastime we have today. I would argue its never been stronger especially when you take a look at the thriving aftermarket and modeling products available. Add to that the second hand market this hobby is going strong. As for the cost, maybe looking at the pri
  13. Seems like you have more of an issue with the local importer/retailers. As noted above the price of the kit is quite reasonable at most places online and here in Canada. If it is that out of reach at the current price do what the rest of us do. Wait for a sale, check out a local swap meet or hunt ebay/facebook/forums and I'm sure you'll run across one eventually at an acceptable price
  14. I noticed the mistake after they were buried under several layers of gloss clear. Unfortunately I had a tight deadline and didn't have the time to fix it. The decals were not bad but definitely sized incorrectly in several places. Looking forward to giving it a go in 32nd next time. I was the West Coast engine tech on the team. It was decent. Found the nose a bit fiddly. Intakes and rear fuselage didn't go together easily, but I have some ideas for the next one. I do like the separate flight controls, landing gear and most of the detail. Overall I was happy with h
  15. 1/48 Kinetic CF-18 with Fishbone Inc decals for the 2018 60th NORAD Demo Jet.
  16. Thanks so much! I managed to check out Burnaby Hobbies on the way by. Neat little shop, lots of interesting stuff. Next time hopefully I'll be able to check out the others. Cheers
  17. Passing by Vancouver this weekend. Any current hobby shop recommendations? Thanks!
  18. PM Hobby and Modelland are your best bet. Well stocked in kits and supplies everytime I've been to Calgary recently. Avoid Chinook, its nothing like it use to be. If you happen to be anywhere near Red Deer in your travels check out CompuSoft. Another well stocked shop.
  19. 1/48 BAE Hawk 100 package deal. Not interested in splitting it up. Includes: -Airfix Hawk 100, inner bags sealed -Two Mikes Resin corrected intakes -CMK Airbrakes Bay -CMK Undercarriage set -CMK Exterior Set -R&R Resin Corrected nose and cockpit set -Airwaves Vac Canopy -High planes Resin and metal detail parts from their own Hawk 100 kit I'm located in Canada, buyer will pay actual shipping cost. Asking $100us for everything.
  20. Fingers crossed we'll see them someday
  21. Have you seen the belcher T-33 and F-5 sheets? they look good online. Tons of schemes on both. Thinking about ordered them myself
  22. So other than the hornets what decals would everyone like to see? What hasn't been done recently? Also, what happened to flightdecs Aurora sheet? did it ever get released?
  23. I wouldn't say Belcher Bits has been dormant. He's taken care of us with the Northstar conversion, C-45, Tracker and Cormorant in the last few years. Canuck definitely has gone dark in the last year. He was on a roll with many great subjects and potential for many more. Too bad as the quality of the art work and decals is excellent. Canmilair I can't take serious. Plenty of interesting subject matter but prices are to the extreme even compared with other alps printed decals. And quality leaves something to be desired, but that could be just an alps issue. As for the hornets, I'd lo
