Well, there is that.

The last time I was in Michaels the store was just packed with fake flowers and sadness.

But a B-25 for $13? I'd wander in for that...

 Our Michaels is the same.  No kits, not even MM Glue.

In the Hangar: 1/48 Hobby Boss F/A-18D RAAF Hornet,

On the Tarmac:  F4U-1D RNZAF Corsair 1/48 Scale.

build a B-25 and PBJ-1J...Devil

I'm actually very much considering building this one (picked it up over lunch - $13 and change) as a Peanut Butter Jelly, but I'm pretty clueless as the modifications that need to be made (and the markings...). Was the major difference the wingtip radar pod?

Just saw a 50% coupon plonk down in my e-mail.

Revellogram B-25? Maybe?

Nothing wrong with that one...  If you print two, go once before and once after shift change, you can use two coupons, get two, build a B-25 and PBJ-1J...Devil

The Revellogram bf109G-10 builds up nicely-at half price should be under $10.-

Yep. And they have the P-51B/C. Bought one last nite with my A.C.Moore coupon. At Micheals. $7.86 isn't bad. Much better than the $7.86 I spent on the P-38. Wink But what the heck, it's good practice...

Michaels usually has a good selection of Revellogram kits.  Especially cars.  But I their aircraft selection is ok.  I have seen the Revellogram B-25 there.  From what I have read, that is a decent kit.

Any way, as stated, Michael's carries the typical Revell items. Mine carries the 109, Spitfire, P-40, Dauntless, T-6, A-10, several F-18s and several F-14s, F-15, F-101, F-106, Huey Hog, P-61, B-25, SR-71, among maybe one or two others that I might have missed...oh, like the P-51 of course!

Any how, I've given up on Michael's selection for now. The local AC Moore expanded their selection, hopefully for longer than just the holiday. Even though they are still only Revellogram kits, they had the same kits as Michael's and more. I bought the F-84 and the Mil-24 Hind. But they also had a B-36, B-17, AC-47 (in 1/48!) A-26, B-25, and a couple others that I probably forgot about

They have all the typical Revell offerings. B-25, Spitfire, Mustang, F4U, F101, F-18, F-14 and the Sky Crane. That is what I remember right off the top of my head.
