RedCrown Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 I'm just wondering if Sierra Hotel was at the Nats selling some of their stuff this year? Anyone see them there? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rex Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 They sure were. In fact, one of them tried to corrupt me at World of Beer. Since we were both Marines, he didn't succeed, lol. I walked up, gave them a hard time about releasing such great stuff in "wrong scales", then complemented them on their resin parts sitting on the table to fondle. Even if you don't build with someone's stuff, it is still easy to appreciate good parts. Then later that night, Patrick ran into me, hanging out with a bunch of Sailors, and we "talked stupid" about the old days for a couple of hours. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RedCrown Posted August 9, 2016 Author Share Posted August 9, 2016 I'm glad to hear they're still in business, I thought they may have been finished. I wish I had known they were going to be there, I would have asked someone to grab some of there stuff for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Scaremonger Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 D'ya guys happen to know whether Sierra Hotel have released their 1/48th scale F-16 NSI resin intakes yet? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Netz Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 (edited) A big Thanks to Pat for being able to attend, Mike and myself were unable to make it this year. No, the F-16 inlets have not bean released yet, they are kinda on the back burner for now. Were going through some changes right now, Mike and my schedules have been pretty messed up this past year and we never got back on the casting track after last years Nationals. I cannot commit on any time frames, but we will continue to sell, no products are being dropped, and we have more new items planned to keep us overwhelmed with Master set ups for awhile.

viking73 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Glad to hear you guys are still around Curt. Hopefully your 1/32 QF-4 conversion is one of those new items! -Derek Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skyhawk174 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Curt thanks for the update and insight. I managed to get a few of your items at either the Phoenix or Omaha show, can't remember which now. Anyway the stuff is great and I am glad to hear nothing is being dropped. Seems I have been waiting for ages for the F-22 combo set. Looking forward to when you can get that back up into production. I build 1/48 so not looking for anything on your 1/32nd line but that stuff looks good too. Always seems to be the case with small cottage guys who have such amazing products. Victims of your own success as now everyone wants it, which is a good thing I guess. Anyway waiting patiently for stock on existing items. Thanks for producing such nice stuff to feed our plastic addiction :thumbsup: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AND, since we had a mix of Marines and Sailors, did the term "swabby" ever come up? HA!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
balls47 Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 (edited) One quick question for Sierra Hotel. I have seen talk of F-16 inlets and 1/32 scale. Do you guys, by any chance, make a replacement MCID (big-mouth) inlet in 1/32 scale for the nasty looking MCID inlet that comes with the 1/32 scale Academy F-16C? I've been looking for one for quite awhile. I may have to just bite the bullet and use the kit part. I hate to buy a Tamiya kit just for that one part. If the Tamiya kit came with both intakes, I would buy one in a heartbeat. Thanks. Edited August 21, 2016 by balls47 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
