  1. Looking forward to the ALCM decals! Any due date yet?
  2. Sorry...but where is the SAC forum and those pics? Thanks
  3. Holy cow!! That's right in my price range! Lets hope they get that low here in the US. I'll be all over them..
  4. Cool! You live in Atlanta? I live in Woodstock.
  5. Very cool!! Which Museum are you at?
  6. Guys....maybe this has been posted before. But I just got back from Hobbytown USA in Kennesaw, GA. Saw the Roden C-5M there for $110.00. Now....online...I'm seeing the C-5B from Roden for below $100.00!! Oh happy day! When it gets in the $60.00 range...I'm all over it...
  7. Man....ALL you guys rock! Thank you so much. It was mildly irritating to look online at the 86's and then look at the AMT/Italeri decal sheets. One of the coolest things on the 86's were the "Caution" stencils. Absent from the AMT/Italeri decal sheets. grrrrr. And yep....the more the merrier!
  8. Would LOVE to see a *comprehensive* set of decals for the B-52G/H AGM- 86's. AMT's decals were ok. But I'd like to see more stencils. The MC offering has no AGM-86 decals that I can see. Anybody listening? :))
  9. Great Review Nigel! Thanks so much. I'll probably pull the trigger because of your review. My hope?? A decal company will produce a *comprehensive* set of decals for the AGM- 86's. AMT's decals were ok. But I'd like to see more stencils. The MC offering has no AGM-86 decals that I can see.
  10. Greetings! I'm building this kit right now and I need spare parts. I am especially interested in the Main Gear Bulkhead with the extensions that support the wings (Main Gear Bulkhead). Anybody have this beast and willing to part with it at a reasonable price? Thanks! Paul
  11. Whoa! The tail section looks a lot better! Not perfect....but better. Should be a little longer I think. But the engines look good and the dropped flaps ROCK. If the nose is corrected and they add ALCMS *with* decals I'll buy several. Not kidding. These guys are really trying. I think we should support them...if for no other reason. But really....they're doing pretty dang good. P.S....one thing I really liked was the ALCMS with decals in the AMT/Italeri versions. I just hope MC follows.....
  12. Its a wait and see for me. If the H is as good as it seems to be...then I'll buy. If it's no better than the AMT offering....I ain't gonna bother.... Honestly...for all its problems...the AMT offering builds up to a really nice looking model. I've got 5 of them....LOL....! The only *real* issues are the wing anhedral and incorrect engines. (Yeah...I know there's more issues...but I'll spare you). But then....its the only game in town for an H. Oh if Monovell would produce an H!! Their D was pretty dang good.
  13. One thing that's always true: Quick and easy is NEVER quick and easy. Think about it model manufacturers....
  14. Just my thoughts. I was thinking about this tonight. Not agreeing or disagreeing with anyone...just thinking out loud. It's amazing to me that 40+ years ago Monogram got the BUFF D right. IMHO....they also got the B-36....B-58...B-29....plus others right. Not perfect...but all of the airframe shapes are right....good details...great stores...and just plain fun to build. Still viable today. But fast forward.....Revell (Monogram) now has the awesome 1/144 C-17....72nd (and 144) A400M....Antonov An-124 and many fantastic large airliner models. ALL at an affordable price and just dang fun to
  15. You know guys....I'm not sure why the manufacturers can't get the Buff right. But to be honest....I'm not really that unhappy with the AMT and Italeri offerings. I've got 5 in the stash. lol.... ESPECIALLY after this disappointment with MC. Yeah....I know there's serious fit issues and inaccuracies....but if you model it right it can build up to a really great looking model. And....most people don't even notice the inaccuracies that makes us bats--- crazy. My thing is that at least the AMT offering has: - Engraved panel lines - Straklets on the G - 'Decent' engines on

  17. Great! I've been in touch with them but will contact them again.
  18. Awesome! They show effort and good faith....I'll buy a bunch of them. Thanks engineman....
  19. Scooby….LOL!....that's really funny. Always wondered about that.....
  20. How bout the "H"? Still waiting with baited breath for that one! MC has said 0.00 about it.....
