Some new kits I won at auction. The Etendard is the first Kinetic kit I've acquired. OOB it appears to be a really nice kit. Crisp detail and molding. Anyone have any experience building Kinetic?

Went by Hobby Lobby today since models are 40% off and found this:

I picked it up since it had decals for this:

It will go along with the diorama for the White Sands V-2 I hope to do someday.  Big Smile

Ohhhhhhhh cool stuff guys! Love those lovely Swedish birds Joe and John! 

And congrads on the new laptop Lewbud. I finally broke down and bought a new desktop rig after getting a decade out of the old one.

I turned in all my loose change from my change jar because of the national coin shortage, so I had this $50+ in my pocket burning a hole im it so I went to my LHS and got these items.

Should be fun projects

Excellent Joe. I've been wanting that Saab and MiG. I built that Badger,  nice kit but had issues with the front half of the fuse fitting. I'm sure you won't have any problems though. 

I like the weapons sets.

Well John, I have to say I believe I've seen everything now. A model of a Cup-O-Soup, who would of thunk it.

And now for some new additions:

The Royal Class Mig-21 kit was a nice score for $30.00.

And some enhancements for all the Soviet kits I've suddenly accumulated:

Nice putter Buddy,

As far as I know the best flight sim is Microsoft.

While not a model it will help with research and my other hobby, photography (and be useful should I find a work from home job).  It's an Asus gaming laptop.  Don't game yet (maybe if I can find a decent flight or racing sim set up, but that will have to wait until gainful employment is found).  Bought it so I could learn photo and video editing, and possibly CAD in the future.

Talk about the power of suggestion.

This is hilarious. I love it.

Pat, I'm curious about that Guadalcanal.

...

Hi,

I've had my eye on one of them for a while and just stumbled acros one on eBay last week.  I probably spent a bit too much but it was about $80.

Our club is selling a few kits.  Committed to a 1/32 trumpeter -3 Wildcat, and an Eduard 1/48. -3 Hellcat.  $40 for both.

Have both the 3 and 4 Wildcats, but kind of lost it in the pit in the -4.  Should be able to salvage what I managed to screw up.

Joe I build that kit as well. Nice kit but I had issues with the wing fit. I'm pretty sure it was my fault.

I built that Mig-3. It's a good kit with no issues. I really like the look of that plane. The Su-35 is really cool also. I need to add one to the stash.

The kit looks really nice.  After reading all the reviews, the trumpeter kit is the most accurate.  That mig 3 looks like a racecar!

Thanks,

I'm liking the your Mig John. Nice addition. Funny, we both must have Migs on the mind as I just got this Mig-3. Also, I was just recently thinking about a Mig-15 kit myself. How does that Trumpeter kit look?

Just a couple of new one's to the stash here. Sort of on a Soviet kick here lately.

So much goodness here - love to see the new aquisitions.  I've been poking around for a while for a good Fagot and I found this one online for a pretty good deal.  I'll line this Fagot up against my Sabre for a side by side

Thanks,

I like them all Joe,  especially the Flogger and Frank.

The Flogger always reminded me of a missile with the wings lolded. I've read that the Frank, with a tune up and good fuel, could out perform the Mustang.

I want to get a Tamiya 1/29 GT

Oh those are cool! Really like the Academy M60A2 SP. Got to see a local museum drive a 'starship' over an old car a few years ago!

Hi Lewbud. There was a bloke name of Clive Caldwell who flew with the squadron represented by your Spit. He was Australia's highest scoring ace in WWII and got himself into a spot of bother flying grog into U.S.A.F. bases in drop tanks and selling it. A least thats how the story goes.........

Nice haul!  I have the mustang and the motorcraft decal set.  Like the Frank as well

 

I considered ordering another decal set but, I believe I'm going to use the kit set and just paint the car in an entirely different color.
