I got this information from a competitor in the figure-modelling range, so it may be taken with a grain of salt...: Apparently Preiser has been taken over by the two sons of the founder, and since they are both pacifists, they don´t continue the military stuff of the company. Well, if THAT doesn´t end war and conflict on the world, nothing will.... 🤪 🙄 HAJO

May I ask about the "early A-10s"-scheme in 1/72 and the H-53s in 1/72....? What is their current schedule? HAJO

The Sova-M Learjet has them: https://www.scalemates.com/kits/sova-m-svm-72019-learjet-35--1245901 HAJO

I have the kit now, it was listed as "available" in one of our german online shops and went to "sold out" within 24 hours, with me contributing to this shortage... 🙂 HAJO

Perfectly describes my situation! 🙂 HAJO

Hmm, pictures are not showing....? HAJO

There is probably also a lot of guys like me who built models for friends and either charge nothing at all or only the cost of the basic kit. In my case, I´m picky which model I do - I build only kits in "my" scale and of subjects I´m interested in. I get a nice kit as a project, don´t have to think about where to store it when it´s finished, any my friends get a nice finished model. In this case it´s a Win-Win even without transferring much money.... HAJO

Simply awesome! HAJO

Can someone ident this small box just below the port front window? The picture has a bigger resolution than showing here - just click on it. The question arised over at Scalemodels.com HAJO

Ahem, any news about that...? 😉 HAJO

No, waiting for it eagerly as well. I was announced to be released in mid-august... Even on the Revell-shop it´s listed as "not available at the moment"... HAJO

Very nice done! As soon as a decent CVN-65 comes in 1/700, I´ll start a second carrier model. HAJO

To my un-informed eye this looks like the twin-launcher for Stinger Missiles without the missile containers... HAJO

After having gotten my first shot with Astra in early june, I decided to skip the second Astra-shot and organized me a Biontech-shot. Read some reports that said that "cross-shotting" with Astra and then either Biontech or Moderna has shown very good results after a couple of days, and so I went for it. While I was quite tired and a bit wasted after the Astra-shot for about 24 hours, I had practically no side-effects after the second shot with Biontech. HAJO

Looking really good! HAJO

Great result, wonderful model you did here! HAJO

Good work! I never noticed that that the VNAF Stars'n'Bars were carried on both wings...? HAJO

Got it: https://www.lockheedmartin.com/en-us/products/enhanced-laser-guided-training-round.html HAJO

I think it's a training LGB, similar to those small blue dumb bomb simulators. You can drop them and they have the same ballistic characteristics like the "real" one, but only go "puff" and release some smoke when hitting the ground. HAJO

You need the engine if your model is supposed to fly... it is, right? 😉 HAJO

Yeah, I have the same problem with the rotor mounting. It's the only downside of the kit. HAJO

Very nice progress here! I'd love to have a nice VNAF T-28 in 1/72-scale... HAJO

You're really fast! But I like what you did so far! Is your rotor-mast "fixed"? HAJO

Although we divert from your Sea King, the Cobra is reall ynice to build. As for the canopy: Simply install the "rooftop" first and then add the side-parts. I had no trouble with both my Cobras. HAJO

Looking forward to the next steps! HAJO
