It's funny how "secrecy" is handled. During the NAS Whidbey Island CONA event several years ago, I was going around taking shots of the EA-18G's and the BuNo's in order to provide reference for decals. A Shore Patrolman came up to me and told me I could not photograph the BuNo's of the aircraft, as they were "Classified". These were all on static display, and open to the public...People crawling all around them. I politely said okay, and waited a few for him to leave, before proceeding to start shooting my pics again. He looped back around, and yelled at me (with his hand on the butt of his s

I was sent a Paypal invoice (problem with my credit card I guess) and they charged me for it. The 54 bucks has already been taken out of the bank. Aaron.

It's not an upgrade. the "powers that be" read your book, stating that the "blunt" nose cones were for training only. They said HA! We'll show him! Aaron

Honestly, I wonder if it is the opposite. It's been a GREAT seller, and when interest begins to die down in it, THEN they will come out with a Delta model? In other words, get as much money out of the Charlie's produced while they can, and then when interest wanes, re-kindle it by putting out a Delta. Don't know. As was mentioned, Tamiya marches to their own drum. Aaron

Yes, they have. Chief Warrant Officer 3 Ryan Connolly Warrant Officer James Casadona Article: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/army-identifies-two-soldiers-in-apache-helicopter-crash

Keeping the AMK kit I have on pre-order. I want to do an F-14D Bombcat from VF-31, and an F-14B from VF-103, so I'll likely keep the AMK kit the Delta, and convert the Tamiya kit to a Bravo. Aaron

Still have one of the H-60 Detail Sets available. Aaron

I have two H-60 Detail Sets (35002) and one Correction Set (35004) for sale. I'm asking 25 dollars each, plus shipping at cost. If you buy all three, I'll reduce the price to 65. Sets are complete, but loose in a plastic baggie. Original packaging is long-gone. Any questions, feel free to PM me Aaron May also entertain trades, a few things I'm looking for (in no order of preference) 1/32 Barracudacals P-51D Mustang sheet 32009 1/32 Barracudacals P-51D Mustang stencil sheet 1/48 Twobobs F-117 decals (any sheet) 1/32 Barracuda la

Found one thank's to Gator52! Aaron

Found them. Thank you. Aaron

Cool beans. Thank's Jonah. Aaron

You're killing me Smalls! That Strike is calling to me. Unfortunately, my empty wallet is too.

Would prefer the 32/52 Thunderbird boxing (going to be a T-bird) but will gladly take the C/N boxing too. I can work out a straight sale if the price is reasonable, but would rather trade. Looking to keep it in CONUS for shipping purposes. Aaron Trade list 1/32 Revell P-51D w/Brassin wheels and paint mask 1/32 Revell Me-262 with Brassin wheels and paint mask 1/35 Dragon M1A2

What exactly is a "real" gravity feed airbrush? What model do you have? I'm curious, because for the most part I like the Testors one I have, and it does what I need it to do. However, if parts are going to become hard to find, I'd like to get opinions on what else is out there. Aaron

Hi all I snapped my lightweight gear (part R3) right in half and, although I tried super glue, I don't think it is going to be strong enough to hold up. Does anyone have a spare set from the C/N boxing they can part with? I'm also looking for the kit seat parts, parts D10-D-15. I have weapons I can trade in exchange for them, or I can pay for shipping. If you can help with either/or/both, please PM me. I appreciate it. Aaron

I ended up finding a brass fitting with a hole on the end just wide enough for the hose to fit in at a local automotive store. The problem is, the thread on the hose adapter is not a common thread...it isn't standard pipe thread, nor is it a standard diameter so finding a "reducer" was impossible. I ended up just cutting the plastic piece off, then threading the hose through the brass fitting. Took some "outside the box" thinking, but it works, and, isn't that what modelling is all about? Aaron Ps. Still no response from Testors

They don't carry Aztec anymore. When you click on the tab, it says "this section no longer available"

Yes, I've sent them an e-mail, but no response yet. You can't order direct from them any more. Aaron

I've had an Aztec airbrush for probably 4-5 years now, and I went to paint the other day, and the plastic reducer that goes from my compressor to the air hose snapped right off, and I can not find a replacement for it anywhere. I've tried Michael's, Hobby Lobby, Amazon, ebay, HobbytownUSA, etc. It seems to be an odd size too...I've tried several places in town to try to find a metal replacement, and can't. Is Testors/Aztec no longer being sold/supported much?

In store. Also, Spruebrothers has it back in stock for 23.99. It lacks a full engine like the Tamiya kit, but molding is very good, the way it is set up, they can easily do a later version, and for 20-30 bucks, I don't think you can go wrong

I picked up the P-51 at Hobbytown for 29.99. Found the Me262 on e-bay for slightly more than that. Aaron

Yeah, just realized that. I'm looking for sheet 32009, the airframe decals Aaron

Posted this in the buy and sell section as well, but thought I might get some coverage here too. If anyone has a set they are willing to part with, please let me know what you are looking for in return. Will buy or trade. Aaron

Does anyone have a set they are willing to part with? Glad to pay or trade. Aaron
