SILLYMAY Posted July 24, 2015 Author Share Posted July 24, 2015 Thanks! I'm hoping they will be casting more soon. If not, I have spent a lot of money on 2 birds in the last few days 4 nothing. It's a 4hr drive but I'm still going Sat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve N Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 (edited) I got the two "gottagetits" for this year: the Airfix Do-17Z and Defiant (even scored on if Barracuda's last sets of Defiant wheels.) Now I need to see if I can find the Xteadecal Defiant sheet. SN Edited July 24, 2015 by Steve N Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Good price too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hawkwrench Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Anybody coming across any good helicopter deals? I'm looking mostly for H-60 hawk stuff. Coming up Saturday morning to check it out myself. Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bigasshammm Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I hope you guys are leaving all the race car stuff for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
2qwik4u Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 (edited) I hope you guys are leaving all the race car stuff for me. Make sure you check out American Racing Miniatures. They've got some beautiful resin kits of mid-late 20's Indy stuff as well as late 90's Indy stuff. Oh yeah, and hit the vendor room first unless you really want to see the contest tables. Most of the vendors start packing up early on Saturday. I missed a few of them last year because I went to the contest tables first. -Dave Edited July 24, 2015 by 2qwik4u Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bigasshammm Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Will all depend when we get there. I have a 1:1 car to check out in Columbus before we hit the show. Amazingly it's on the same street the show is on. We should get to Columbus around 11am. Then who know how long it will take at dealership. Especially if we double the amount of vehicles we take home! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
2qwik4u Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 FYI, by 2:00 most of the vendors had packed up and left when I went last. -Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brad-M Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Aside from the B-1B stuff, Roy was supposed to announce some new items at the Nationals, any word what these new items are yet? Brad Barracuda has confirmed their attendance with B-1B stuff on another board but he was opening starting Thursday AM so they could very well be gone by Saturday...Good Luck Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Drifterdon Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 (edited) hay guys all b-1s are now at dyes Tinker is the home of the Oklahoma City Air Logistics Center and performs programmed depot level maintenance to the entire B-1 fleet as well as a host of other USAF and USN types. Operational B-1s are not only at Dyess but also at Ellsworth in SD. There are others at Nellis and Edwards in test and training capacities. Thought you might want to know. :salute:/>/> Now back to your regularly scheduled post about Nats. Edited July 24, 2015 by Drifterdon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Johnopfor Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 (edited) I think its Edmonds not Edmond, my bad. Oklahoma! Well, I'm sure I'll have fun whether Barracuda has the resin casts I need or not. I think that you mean Ellsworth AFB, SD. Elsworth and Dyess AFB in Texas are the only active B-1B bases. Edited July 25, 2015 by Johnopfor Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bigasshammm Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Were heading to the vendor room first. Might be there as early as 11. I hits have to check on something else first! Which may take up some of our time. Soon as I hit 71 south it's hammertime. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Liberator24 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Ok, so why didn't someone point out that Darren Roberts is so friendly, outspoken, and just plain cool to talk with. Yo, Darren!

Tim Took me awhile to find Gordon too but I had heard that he had to leave early (around 2-3ish on Saturday) Darren was handing out the gifts on behalf of him so you might be able to check in with him.
