Guys hi

Good week here.

First off Steve from Scotland sent me a F16A tail, and I got it the day after I asked here if anyone had a spare !

Big Thanks Steve. :cheers:

Later in the week Hannants delivered

the superb DACO F-18 book (what ever else you buy this year, get this book, words fail me) :lol:

along with TwoBobs "Top Gun Tinker Toys" now I can build Jester (although I'll more than likely build it as "Ice's" bird) :rolleyes:

Still waiting since March 2, for my Eagle edition resin kit.

Probably lost by Canada posts. It's hard to saw $56 bucks throw away for nothing... Sadly, my hobbyshop takes no insurance and I'm the only guy who pays for it.....

Same thing happened to me. But of all the times I ordered from them, that was the only problem I ever experienced.

May 3rd:

1/72 Heller Su-27UB High Tech arrived today. P/U on ebay for $16.00. Looks very nice and inviting sitting in the box. Hopefully it won't awaken into too big of a bear when construction begins.

Today I got a box from Testors Corp with 4 bottles of Polly Scale (2 each of US Interior Green and RLM 02 Gray) which were free replacements for the ones I got earlier that had somehow spoiled. . .

Last week was an extremely good week; got a HUGE box from Roll Models including:

1/72 Hase AV8 B Harrier II (2 copies) with PE and paint for same

1/72 Academy P-47 Bubbletop plus PE

1/72 Heller F-86 F (with Eagle Strike Decals and PE)

1/48 Czech Models Yak-15

1/48 AMTech P-40 E (a second copy)

1/32 Hase P-51 Mustang (a second copy to finish the project) plus decals for Blue Nose P-51s, an Engines 'n' Things Packard Merlin (which was a disappointment at $16.00 US)

and several sheets of Bare Metal Foil

plus some miscelaneous bits for other projects and supplies (like masking tape)

Also recieved packages from Hobblyland, Squadron, Meteor Productions. . .

Ordered stuff from Squadron (Legends resin cockpit for LA-7, ICM MiG-3 and True Details wheels for Hobbycraft P-59) and Roll Models on-line last night as well. . .

Bills and junk mail - story of my life. :lol:

I can't really complain thought - I scored a great kit on a trade here at ARC with Joedie Walker (BTW, I can't say enough about Joedie being a great seller - buy with confidence!) for an Italeri F/A-18F and BB cockpit, as well as a Bombcat upgrade set from Black Box.

I've got over 400 kits staring me in the face every time I go down to the workshop, so it's not like I'm going to run out of things to do for the next several lifetimes......... :thumbsup:

Two decal sheets from the Bobs: a Modeldecal sheet with Viet Nam era 531 markings for an F-4B and an Xtradecal sheet with markings for a VMFA-323 FJ-4B. That and my federal tax refund check...I wonder if I can get my wife to sign it without seeing what it is...

All I got thru my door today was a load of junk for other people in the family, my latest car insurance schedule and a little yellow card saying 'Sorry, we tried to deliver a parcel but you were out'..... :(

So I rushed off to the parcel depot and picked up a Duron 1800 CPU and heatsink/fan for my PC!! :D

Just need some fast games to play and I'll be set!

After the carppy day I've had at work I needed something good to happen. This week started rubbish and I don't think it's gonna get much better :thumbsup: .

Good couple of days here for me, as well. Yesterday Joel Robinson sent me a Fujimi F-8D, a Testors F-15C, a Hobbycraft Su-25 and a Hasegawa Mig-27, all 1/72 for a stunning price - thanks to ya, Joel, appreciate it. Then in the letter mail I found an envelope with my long sought after Carpena decal sheet for E-2C Hawkeyes. This was courtesy of my new found friend in Canada, Pete and his wife and cat! He threw in two other sheets for free, for A-6As and Blue Angels C-130s. This was after he remembered an old post of mine from a couple of months ago - really a remarkably kind gesture. All hail Peter.

Today George in California delivered a 1/72 CAM F-14 decal sheet - lovely and lively VF-31 CAG F-14D and a low-vis VF-2. Oh, very nice indeed.

Watching for the mailman is so cool now - another beneifit of working out of the house! Makes for a great break - brew a pot of coffee, look through my cool new stuff, send thank you e-mails.

Now if building were only as easy as buying!

Or looking at the gallery of other people's builds!
