I was reading comparisons between the BF-109 and FW-190 (power, roll rate etc ) and ran into this book that looked interesting. No pictures though :sad: and only covers US fighters - Corsair, hellcat, wildcat, thunderbolt, mustang & lightning.
Thanks,
John
Ohhhh, that's cool AM, glad it was reissued so you were able to pick up a copy.

What? Not the Monogram kit?
Look forward to this one! Big kingfisher fan
My first kit purchase of the year.
I missed this one when it was first released and thought it would be a ridiculous price to pay to acquire one after Kitty Hawk folded. Apparently another manufacturer picked up the molds but retained the Kitty Hawk name. Got it from Squadron for roughly $80.
I'm not planning too many kit purchases this year, but there will be some decals and supplies to get.
Those look really cool guys!
SP: The TiE might be pre-painted but a few washes will make the detail pop.
Ben: Very cool figure!
John: Cool, hope the D model comes along soon with a good price.
Great detail on that figure Ben.
Been waiting for one of these for a while. Rather it be a D but I'll take it. And it was cheap ( which usually means re-release coming... )
Thanks Gamera, I'm looking forward to building both of them. Here are more new arrivals, received just today.1/24 Resin kit from China (no color callouts or instructions)And an interior for my Hasegawa Stuka Ju-87 GNext should be a box load of stuff for one of my 1/48 B-1B Lancer kits.Ben

Oops! Sorry, Stik! I don't know why I put your name down for Gamera. Must be old age!
And that's a nice TIE fighter, Gamera! Look forward to your plan!
Gary (maybe)
Gary, the Wierd Oh kit was Gamera's, not mine. I like it too!
This is my first kit acquisition of the new year... This one came in yesterday’s delivery. Yeah it’s a snap together and pre painted, but I’ll still glue it and do some additional work… It looked pretty nice when I opened it up and examined the parts… I have a plan for this one!
F is for FIRE, That burns down the whole town!
U is for URANIUM... BOMBS!
N is for NO SURVIVORS...

Ben: Love the Centurion AVRE and German biker! And you can never have enough tools, I need some new files etc myself.
And thanks guys. I was thinking about Freddy Flame-out at work today. I just might have to build the guy when I get some stuff off the bench. I could use a silly build to decompress a little...
More arrivals in the mail for Jarrod and I, here we go:The motorcycle and rider will take one day just to remove and clean-up the molding channels, but I thought it was a nice looking piece. The A-7 Corsair cockpit is for an up and coming build.Ben
Gamera,
I like the Weirdo kit. Great score!
Drums,
Check Ollie's occasionally, as they have some bargains. Also, nice tools!
Gary
Hey I like the weirdo kit.
Been a while since I posted anything, so here is some stuff I got since early December.
- This one was also from Ollie's Clearance
- Something in keeping with my Churchill AVRE
- A couple of these to keep my junk organized
- A new punch set as my old one is in bad shape
- If you get a new punch set you have to get a new hammer, right?
- You can never go wrong with more quality files
- More side cutter I got for a sweet deal
- My apologies if I posted this previously, 1/18 racing Jaguar
Much more pre-ordered or in transit.
I haven't bought much recently except those 3D printed figures.
I did get this... um... whatever it is at a club 'clear out your old deadwood kits' auction.
Looks pretty simple and as they say 'paint it however you want'. Sorry, didn't want to pull the thing out of the plastic bags and take a chance of parts disappearing.
That's cool Gary! I've found a few cool kits at Ollies. I need to hit them again now that's it's after Christmas.
Nice acquisition,I'm sure there have been purchases too,although I have not myself.
Just trying to keep some action going here on the the site.
Tojo72 16 days and no one bought any new models yet,must be a record.

I updated the thread to reflect the new year.Lets keep the longest running thread going,and happy hunting in 2024

Oh wow those are awesome Aggieman! Love me some blue planes (USN)!
And those classic kits with the working features. I always got cement somewhere it wasn't supposed to go and cemented them solid...
And love the new Corsair, looks like an fantastic kit!
Nice! That one is tempting. Nice write up here: https://www.themodellingnews.com/2023/11/preview-three-new-items-to-enhance-your.html#more
Also saw somewhere that a guy was able to convert the wing fold to extended. My understanding as the kit comes, you build and extended wing for one and the other has to be folded.
Another delivery, this one that I got for myself:
I know nothing of this manufacturer, but the scalemates site listing for this kit looked pretty good, and I do love the Corsair. Reviews claim it rivals or even bests the Tamiya kit, so there's that. Having built two Tamiya Corsairs in this scale (48), I'll be able to judge for myself one of these days. There are two kits in this boxing, so I'll build a -1a and a -2 (a variant I've never built).
My tree had some nice additions to the stash from the wife and daughter:
I'm sorry to hear that Gary.
I'm happy now that I did order the B5 boxed set. I keep hearing about business problems with Warner Brothers. If you want one it might be a good idea to pick it up soon in case they should go belly up...
John,
Congratulations on such a haul! Wanting that Artemis model myself.
Nice selection! Love the Shiden! And especially that complete Babylon 5 box set!
Nothing under the tree for me this year, unfortunately.
Thanks Tojo, we usually have a nice gift exchange but this year you could have knocked me over with a feather!
5-high: Oh WOW!!! Big whoppin' Corsairs and a Jug! You can't beat that!!! She's a keeper for sure!
Looked under the tree this morning and unwrap tree boxes.and I got three trumpeter 1/32scale delights .!!!. Two bought F4u1Ds corsairs and one P47 thunderbolt Razorback!!!. My wife is the best EVER!!
Nice haul gamera,you got the Phantom !!!
