HEY ! did you forget this GRUMPY old man? I too am firmly engrossed in LINDBERG/HAWK/ and some TAMIYA armor .More ships than anything else .I like ,many now being recognized ,have to chop up a model pretty bad to make sure it reflects the unit or piece of machinery .Most of my cutaways are based on LINDBERG kits .No , I do not consider myself DAN JAYNES equal in that department .I build for ME .I very rarely ,if ever enter contests .I don,t like being told that certain ships didn,t have so and so piece of equipment so it didn,t get honorable mention even .Shoot , don,t they realise that you can , like planes have 60 or more ships and no two are exactly the same . This is something I noticed on the U.S.S. WISCONSIN model for the museum. All four of the IOWA class ships are different ! Now how can someone say it,s wrong if they,ve never seen any of the ships ? I am just going to do a cutaway of the LINDBERG -"TUNA BOAT" (it,s just like uncle joes boat ! )           tankerbuilder

Just scored big time at HL, today.  I picked up two Tamiya F-16C/N for $12.95 a piece and one Tamiya Swordfish for $16.95.  I knew they were going to mark them down soon, but I didn't think I would stumble on them with so many on the shelf.  There were more, but I wanted to leave the rest for some of my other model building comrades to score!!!!!

Good god man!!!!!!!!!!! The stupid HL here tells me they wont drop the price till 1 Oct, and that's only to $28.95! I've been eyeing that kit for a while now waiting for it to drop, didnt think it would go that far down! I wont see it here though. Angry
