Dai Jones: Got my Yale model this week!
Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, November 23, 2003 7:26 PM
I've been looking for this one for quite a while because I had helped restore one of these aircraft for a museum.
My favorite mom & pop shop had one NA-64 Yale in 1:48 scale left, so I snapped it up! It is the OOP Occidental Harvard 2 with the Belcher Bits resin conversion set.
Woo-hoo!
Unfortunately the shop is about 1,000 miles away so it was pure luck I stopped in while passing through on business.
Regards,
Bruce

Grrreat Mate Woof!
(Actualy the end of a Grosby shoes add)
But congrats! I know how you've been searching fore one. I think that you'll find that it never rains bbut it pours. I spent almost thirty years looking for a 1/12 Bengal Lancer Bought one via ebay for $50.00 and then I have been offered two in the last week!
Have fun and a Yale and Harty Christmas.

Thanks Dai:
I had mentioned this particular mom & pop operation before in other LHS threads, but I couldn't find them in the electronic yellow pages so I thought they had finally retired. Passing through and had a look and was very glad to see they were still, as you put it 'Yale & Hearty'.
He got two of those kits from somewhere about a year ago and still had the one lying around.
Sometimes you catch one on the fat part of the bat ...
regards,
Bruce
