Thanks Joe.  Did you get your Mig-29 and Hurricane off of Scale Model Graveyard on the book of Face?

 

Cool stuff guys! 

John: I love those Trek kits. 

And I'm a big fan of the '80s Dune too. Other than a few odd choices it's pretty good adaption of the novel. We'll have to wait and see about the current movie project.

Nabbed this bad boy the other day. 18 inches long, BOOYAH!!. Been watching these for awhile now and they are just too much. But this one popped up for $40 so I jumped on it.

Nice cathc. For a second there when i looked at the condition of the box, i thought i don't remember selling mine. had mine for years an i think i got it for a good price compared to what they are going for now. Just need to find the time to build it.

Nice lewbud. I'm likin' that BMW. Very cool indeed.

Picked these up last Friday on a paint run.

I really like the BMW MSport colors on the BMW M1, but I found a markings for a a car that ran in IMSA back in the 80's that was sponsored by Winnebago and Jim Beam.  Can't get more redneck than that.  As for the T-45, I've got a set of Caracal decals on the way with markings for the Red Hawks, VT-21 out of NAS Kingsville.  I took pictures of this plane a few years ago at the Alliance Air Show in Ft. Worth.  If I remember right, the pilot's call sign was either Dark Helmet or Lord Dark Helmet.

I got 3 of those at a discount mall 22 years ago to $5.00 each.  Sorry. 

 

Inflation I remember seeing them on clearance for a bit more than that from a KB Toys outlet store back in the 90s. I guess if you hold onto them long enough you can make your money back. Now they cost a lot more!

Nice score Brandon

Awsome Stick, great looking decals. I love Dune!

That Hustler brings back memories.

 

Thanks. I have a bunch of builds for those decals. And I’m really looking forward to the Hustler. What a machine! Dune is one of my guilty pleasures. I can’t wait to see it and hear it on the new home theater system here.

Falcon, you certainly got some great deals on those to Trek kits!

Joe, nice scores there too. Im looking forward to building that Ki-100. It’s certainly the best detailed Otaki/ARII kit thatve seen yet. I’m pretty sure that the Hasegawa Hurricanes are mostly common molds with just a few parts sprues different for the different Marks. Gotta love that Mig-29!

Well I’ve been on something of an eBay buying spree of decals lately...

Plus I picked up a couple Blu Ray discs...  two mid 80’s films that are fun to watch

And lastly our own John Eaton contacted me back channel about selling me this kit when I had mentioned in a post that it was one of my “holy grail” wants. He offered this for a very reasonable price plus shipping... thank you John!

Joe, your not wrong. And still going 75 years later.

Couple of nice additions there. But i do hate one piece canopies.

Nice score Joe.  I have a mark I hasegawa kit and 303 markings.  Does that kit have a 1 piece canopy?  Mine does and I was a bit disappointed

Pat: I am really liking the Celica kit. I've never seen that before and it is rather choice. Grand score

Bish: That Centurion is sweet. That is one tank that I consider a great subject.

John: Great score on the Star Trek kits.

Stik: Love the vintage Ki-100.

Just a couple of new 1/72 additions to my stash recently. Always happy with bargain auction scores.

Picked these up at Wal-mart for $10 each.   A good deal since they were $25 each before.  actually been waiting since Christmas for them to go on the discount shelf.

John

Pat: Good score there! And I love the idea of building your own egg planes. 

Yet another ebay UK auction win...............

Oh and as I'm building more egg type kits at present, I bought some 10cm long plastic eggs! So I can try and build some eggstraordinary egg planes of my own!

Bish

Hope you will post some pics of those builds

I've only finished the Churchill so far, and haven't a clue about posting photos - I'll have a look on the technical guidance pages (from which I may or may not benefit!).

    Cheers,

              Hutch.

Hutch, i have never really read anything on the korean war, but i should really. When i was much much younger, there was a male nurse who lived in our close who used to fix up all us kids when ever we injured ourselves. When i was about 10, my stepdad moved in with us and i knew he had served in Korea and been a guest of the Chinese in one of their camps. It was only years after he moved in that he and the nurse realised they had both been in the same camp at the same time. They have both passed away now and i have no idea where my stepdad was captured, but i know it wasn't somthing he liked to talk about. Its deffinetly a forgotten war.

Hope you will post some pics of those builds and that u-boat. I have bilt their 1/125 kit and will soon being doing a 72nd version.

SP: Ohhhhhhh love that Ki-100. I still love those Arii/Otaki kits- a little old but they're still excellent quality kits.

Bish: That's awesome too! I thought about picking up one for John 3:16's Korean War GB but decided to go with something I already had in the stash.

 

If i had bought this kit last year i probably would have joined that GB. But as it is, this will have to join the queue.

I haven't made any new additions since Feb. So that combined with me selling off a few kits i have realised i have no interest in, i decided to add a couple of new additions to my 35th armour stash. One is coming from China so might take a while bt the other is more local and arrived today. Another kit for my post war British armour collection and my first Korean war subject.

Lots of new goodies here guys, but I think that Graysnake takes the prize!

The postman has brought these in the past couple of days

More is due in soon...

Yeah, I love that I-400 Joe! 

Ah yes, the I-400. I've had my eye on that for the stash for some some myself.
