KursadA Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Let's keep track of the latest Squadron mystery deal here. I am running an automated tool that lets me know when the deal is changed, and will try to update it if I happen to be in front of a computer when it does. It would be good if others keep it up-to-date, too. The Mystery Deal changed around 12:00 CST, and is now a 1/35 Academy Ontos. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jwest21 Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 good idea. I get this nagging feeling that I am missing something great if I don't check every hour! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Supertom Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Hey Kursad, you could turn it into a Twitter feed! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted October 5, 2012 Author Share Posted October 5, 2012 Hey Kursad, you could turn it into a Twitter feed! Good idea! I will look into it this weekend. I could also look into writing a short script that can automatically update this thread whenever the deal changes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zerosystem Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 go for the thread updates, there's a bastion of folks that want nothing to do with twitter...and I'd bet money that alot of modelers are of that variety Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nerdling Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 I do facebook, but will never use Twitter. Facebook only gets used for the local classified group and family stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bigasshammm Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 So do they change the mystery deal when they sell out of the one? Any idea how long they'll keep this up? I'm waiting for a must have. The HB A-10 was one but I didn't have any money then :( Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rightwinger26 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 (edited) Amen. My wife takes care of all that, she's hooked and it makes me kind of sad. I made a Facebook account a long time ago, and lost interest after a week or so. I just have better stuff to do than stare at my computer, models, wood working, gardening, beer and wine making, rocketry and space stuff, fishing and kayaking, basically I'm too busy for facebook Edited October 7, 2012 by rightwinger26 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rivet Counter Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 1:32 Trumpeter Harrier Gr.Mk 7 for $49.99. WOW! Looks like a good deal... but from what I recall, there are serious accuracy issues with this kit? Anyone care to enlighten us? :unsure: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jwest21 Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 One is the wing is missing the obvious kink visible looking head on at the Harrier,. I have the AV-8+ kit and was going to try to gently bend the wings to try to replicate it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
deadmeat Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Looks like a good deal... but from what I recall, there are serious accuracy issues with this kit? Anyone care to enlighten us? :unsure: I SAID that it was a Trumpter kit! Duh!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MoFo Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Kitbash it with the 1/48 Hasegawa kit, which has a way, *way* overdone wing kink that needs bending to remove. Boom. Problem solved. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ResinBuilder Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 If you missed the harrier deal they still have it at the mystery price for a short while, just do a search for that kit. They usally do it with most of the mystery deal items. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
