    Yes, you can vote once a day. With mobile internet you can give one more vote. BTW, for those who are interested: here is voting for Do 26: http://ideas.revell.de/ideas/item/99/ It is possible to vote for different ideas in parallel.
  2. IP: Let me know, if I should send the hotel info & phone via PM. TIA.
  3. Hi Pete, PM sent. It would be great, if we could manage to make an appointment in Seattle.
  4. Thanks a lot, PNW! I'll have to see, whether I can manage accessing the Skyway by bus. Paine Field sounds really great, but I see unfortunately no chance for me to do it this time...
  5. Although the main aviation-related sight in Seattle is of course the Museum of Flight (which I’ll hopefully be able to visit), I’d like to drop by some hobby shop(s) as well. However, as I’ll be somewhat limited in terms of time, it/they should be well accessible from the downtown (without a car) and have a good choice of products – not only kits, but also decals, detail sets etc – at good prices. My area of interest is WWII aviation 1/72. Any tips are much appreciated. TIA
  6. Well, unfortunately I've also ordered the Ik-3 last year (after some positive reviews) via a friend of mine and it is currently waiting to be sent to me some time later. It would be an exaggeration to say that I can't wait. ;-) At least I could save the shipping cost... Although the errors do seem to be correctable and I sure could be able to fix them, now I seriously doubt it, I'll become enthusiastic enough to do this one within the next 50 years... eBay is probably the way to go! ;-)
  7. Are there any fatal errors with the IK-3: dimensions, shape/outline, cross sections etc.? Although it still seems to be much better than the AZ release (fortunately, didn't buy it!), but it is hardly worth anything in case of above mentioned flaws...
  8. To be honest, I am not impressed, especially by the surface detail. And even if I feel myself 'forced' to buy this one some day, it won't be until the comparision with Dragon (hopefully, however, it won't be the case!)...
  9. My intention is also definitively waiting for the Dragon release, even if I am slightly disappointed about the new Meteor. Although it is still probably better starting point than the MPM kit, but the surface detail needs obviously some refinement and the interior is still not fine enough to be just let "as is". So, maybe a good kit (if there are no serious accuracy issues), but still no "revolution"... Now, I am pretty sure that there will be no need to replace the P-51D and the Bf 109E by Tamiya by the announced Dragon releases. And at least not sure that it will also worth this in case
  10. Hi, Planning to start working on the 1/72 Baltimore by Special Hobby as a "white" Coastal Command Mk.IV flown with the No. 13 (Hellenic) Sqn and having checked all available sources, I had to notice that, despite of really good references I've got, there are almost no photos showing this or similar a/c. The following sources were checked: - AJ Press ML #97 - Model Aircraft Monthly 08-2008 - Royal Greek Desert Squadrons - http://koti.welho.com/msolanak/13helengl.html as well as Google search results, and, although a few pictures of such a/c are included there, none of them show a com
  11. Let's hope, it won't at least be Academy... On the other hand, I wouldn't mind at all to see a 110 from Fine Molds. As for RS Model, I am afraid, the 110 is not exotic enough for them. It would still be great, if they'd release an Avia B.534. This one would perfectly fit into their current policy.
  12. My problem is that I don't have an e-mail address of Mr.Bucholtz. Could someone help please?
  13. The problem with this one is that it was shot down in Spring of 1944, i.e. can't be modeled with invasion stripes - the most attractive thing (at least for me) about these marking options. However, The photo would still be of interest anyway, since it could reveal some more details common for all planes of the unit. Here is one more Razorback decorated by Rarey: Unfortunately, still no luck with its own a/c...
  14. Hi Dimmy, Yes, I have got these decals. Thank you so much for the picture. This one indeed proved to be quite well documented. I've also found it in at least 3 books. However, there are some problems about this option, since, besides the not very attractive taped areas, the nose art is not very correctly represented by the decal. This photo shows also clearly that at least the decal representation of code "8" is rather far from the real thing and this is certainly common for all 3 decal options. In the me meantime I was able to find some more infos on this topic. Actually George Rarey wasn'
  15. Well, I guess, the best address to ask would be the author of the decals - Chris Bucholtz. Could someone help me to contact him? TIA
