                        I assume you're on about the new Academy 1/48.

                        I saw one at my local hobby shop this past weekend, couldn't find a price tag anywhere on the box though.

                        Just leave me one on the shelves somewhere, so I can get it when I get back! And no rubbing it in when the rest of you get yours and start building while I'm still waiting on a flight out of this sandbox.

                        Yeah, I saw it in the window of my LHS for about $60 bucks. Wrong Scale for me, as I prefer Helio's to be in 1/35 scale! I have on order the DAP Blackhawk, and I have done the workup walk around book (my own) on it. BTW, to any modelers that have gone to the air show this weekend here in London Ontario, how about putting up some of your pict's on the board??

                        I wasn't at that show, but we had a small fly-in at the Edmonton municipal airport a couple of weekends ago that attracted a Canadian Forces' CH-146 Griffon helicopter in a commemorative D-Day scheme, you all can look forward to that as soon as I get the roll finished and developed.

                        Sounds cool! UPNORTH,

                        I just got back from my vacation.....tempted to call the Hobby Shop but I have to wait till this Friday anyways (payday)......should have the WWII german sub done by then too!

                        Saw more lightning, heard more thunder in 5 days then I have seen where I live in the last three years all together! I'm a happy camper.

                        Initial look at the model is good! Wish they had decals of West Coast Phrogs though.

                        Only been home a week, but I did get a chance to browse the old LHS, but no Phrogs to be seen, so sad. I'll give it a couple more weeks before I start to look online for one, but I will be getting one in the near future. Keep the info coming.
                        A day in the Corps is like a day on the farm; every meal is a banquet, every paycheck a fortune, every formation a parade... The Marine Corps is a department of the Navy? Yeah...The Men's Department.

                        Wecome home Dude! ......Glad you made it back in one piece!

                        They have Phrogs at my local Hobby shop so it should be any day now....we usually get kits last! Angry [:(!].......and the stupid part is that most frieght like that comes in the U.S. here in Seattle....I hate that.

                        OK....Is it the Marines that call them PHrogs.....is that the proper name and not Frog
                        Straighten up and fly right.....
