Here is a future build.  But I'm so excited because I received my Eduard/Brassin Big Sin PE Resin kit today.  I want to share with my fellow forum members the contents of the box.  Please see below!  Thank you forum members for always supporting my projects, I'm deeply indebted to you all.

Thats some collection of AM you have there, should be fun.

Toshi, you can post more than one pic in a post, that just might save you a lot of hassle.

Toshi-  When you post a pic, just hit enter to get a fresh line and put in another pic.  Do that for each one you want to post.

If I can do it correctly it should be very much a fun experience.  I know I can post more than one picture at a time but I have been using an older iPhone 4 that's has issues.  It only allows me to post one photo at a time.  Mrs. Toshi wants me to upgrade, but I don't want to.  Because upgrading does cost money and I'd rather spend that money on a kit!  LOL!  Wouldn't you agree?  LOL!

Figured there might be a reason, jsut wasn't. And i could agree more. My Mrs keeps trying to get me to buy a smart phone, but i am happy to do with a £16 phone that can make phone calls, even thats to much.

Hi Tanker Builder!  

That is so funny!  LOL!  

Every single one of my builds since joining FSM Forum 1 year and 8 months ago have been posted here as a WIP.  I have never made a kit that was never a WIP.  I did this for myself to be able to keep records.  It also helped me because of you and members like you of whom read, reply, and critique my builds so I can get better in each and every single build that I do.

I think the most important thing for me is to be able to go all around the world and converse with everyone.  This, I find so exciting!  Something that I thought would never happen happened, I have a second family!  FSM Forum members.

I have not built the Academy...although, I got a bit of a start on it a few years ago...not enough to be able to point out any issues, if any.

I've built a couple of the old Revellogram 38's (don't care to do that again), and a couple Hasegawa (also a ProModeler, reboxed Hasegawa kit)...the later are quite nice and better detailed than the Academy...but, having all that you have for it, makes those kit details not matter!

When you had mentioned the old Revellogram P-38's not wanting; "To do that again", you made me laugh so hard!  

Ultimately, you are correct in that with having the Eduard/Brassin Big Sin set, everything else is just formalities.  Now let's just hope I can do justice to this build with all that AM stuff!  I can't tell you thank you enough fermis!

I thought the one picture posting was because you were too excited to wait to take another picture before posting the one you'd taken!  

I could imagine you taking a picture and running to upload and post it, then running back to take another picture!

 

I build 1/48 scale WW2 fighters.

Have fun.

Wow, lots of goodies in that Big Sin package. The turbochargers if that's what they are are really nice. Never seen any in resin before.

So, I've been curious, why did you order that Big Sin set all the way from Oz?

Yes, they are the turbochargers/Superchargers.  I've never seen resin ones either, I'm trying to figure out how to prep them.  LOL!

As for ordering from Australia, this company is fast, efficient, great customer service, and inexpensive.  They also carry some unusual items.

Thanks for satisfying my curiousity about the order from Oz.

Glad I got it right on the turbocharger guess. I flew and owned two turbocharged aircraft, and if I ever knew the difference between a turbocharger and a supercharger I've long since forgotten...... Whistling

I remember building bombers and stuff as a youngster with the whatever chargers on top of the engine nacelles. I recall wondering why there was a second landing gear on top, and what the heck good that would do anyway. Dunce (they do kind of look like it)
