little stack!? I think that tops the amount I buy in a month

ok I went to the hardware store and bought some Future and some copper wire. Still thinking about that Trump 1/35 CH-47D...wondering where to get the money for it + whatever aftermarket (preferable Cobra Company) puts out.

Some one pinch me...I think I am dreaming (about the 'hook) -_-

Picked up Revel/Monogram's 1/48 F-106 at Wally World. I have one still left over from my teen-age years. While it was one of the better one's I did way back then, uh, it's time to replace it. :nanner:

Also nabbed a Tamiya 1/72 Mosquito at Hobby Lobby for 2/3 off. Can't go wrong at $8. :cheers:

Plus picked up a few supplies (some paint and a few new detailing brushes).

Speaking of those, you would not have a lead for the CL-415 in Ontario MNR colors do you? perhaps Ed has them sneaking around in his shop to no use to anyone??:whistle:

(As in I need a set!!)

Cheers

THAT, I think I saw at Avaition world, it might have been Nfld. If I get a lunch break today I'll check it out. Ed is next to sold out in anything leading edge, he really sold alot of stuff at that Guelph show.

I'll pick up your decals before 6 tonight. PM inbound. Aviation world is holding an Ontario 215 set for you.

I just noticed,. you wanted 415 and not 215......Can you get back to me if you still want them. Im thinking the markings are simular, but Im not into fire bombers.

Argh!

The darn work got in the way of my modelling here!!!<_<

SHart too.

Well, I guess I'll hear later today or tomorrow then...

On the side, could not help myself today, stopped by Lee Valley for some tools, pics and sanders and a boatload of microbrushes.

Then the hobbystore for some rolls of Tamiya tape, glue, putty a magazine and an Army Lynx from Belcher Bits. Would not have gotten it, if it was not for the fact i got the same deal tha I got from Ed at the show on sunday!!

Now I have 3 Lynxes in Resin, and I have NEVER built resin before.... What do we do?

Well I'm certainly looking forward to doing resin now!

Cheers

Last week, I found a real good deal on a 1/48th AC-130 on my LHS's website, so I ordered it. I picked it up today. And I ain't real happy with it. But I'll post that elsewhere.

Not from the hobby shop (as such :rolleyes: )

I went to Southern Expo model show todayand my purchases were:

Italeri 1/48 Grumman TBF/TBM 1 Avenger (Accurate Miniatures moulding :D )

Revell 1/72 Vickers Wellington Mk.X/XIV (ex-Matchbox)

Accurate Miniatures 1/48 Curtiss SB2C-4 Helldiver :banana:

plus various Humbrol enamels.

Good thing is, I actually went with a list of things to get and got them all!! :o

regards,

Mike

Actually it was yesterday, 3/18, but I didn't get in until late. One Special Hobby Ju-34 so-fugly-it's-pretty in 1/72, and a Tamiya airbrush. The HG I think. I've mated an Iwata hose to it, so I'll see today how well it sprays, but I think it will be superb. The craftsmanship of the instrument is excellent, so I can't wait to spray something today!
