Blacksheep:  You said you were looking for one. If you truly wanted one and cant find one, though I can't part with mine, my father has two.  One open and one sealed maybe? If you were interested I could ask him if he wanted to sell one.

Haha, no problem!  You did have me confused for a secondStick out tongue      It is funny you thought the Bird Dog was Roden, because Roden will be releasing a 1/32 Bird Dog in the summer (I belive) of this year. So I am extremely excited

 

Oh yes. I plan on buling it for sure. This one I will probably leave sealed for a while.  But Two of my other ones are open.  I will build those first

Roden is the Pilatus Porter but  ModelUSA is the BirdDog

 

 

Doh.... no wonder I couldn't find the Bird dog in Roden brand. LOL!!! I was looking at the wrong kit.

Looking at the box art, yours and eBay's are 2 different kit companies. Yours is Roden, the ones listed on eBay were Model USA brand.

Thanks guy! Big Smile    It looks like the best deal came from the Bird Dog.  I bought 9 item (including the books) for $30. That mean each item cost $3.33.    When I bought my other Bird Dogs on eBay when I was a kid (10 years ago) I belive they were about $20.  So I  went on eBay to see what some have sold for and I found these.  I know the prices when up but GEEZ!   Its a real shame I want to build them lol

I picked out everything I had interest in building for a STEAL!  A whopping $30 for everything you see in these pictures (including the books)! He said $40 so Icame back with $30 and he said sure.  I was in shock. I just wanted to share my excitment.     P.S.  This forum really needs auto correct again...
