                        Oh man, am I Censored [censored] off right now. I was on eBay not more than 48 hours ago searching for one and that didn't come up! I even have that seller on my favorites list and still - nada

                        But, I'm glad you got it HeavyArty. Congrats!

                        Sorry guys. But thanks for the kind words. Now I have all the necessary models to do a proper 160th SOAR display, MH-6, AH-6J, MH-60K. All still in their boxes, but someday they will get done.

                        Yeah, well done.
                        I couldn't believe it when the search came back with a result, I couldn't believe either that it had been up for 14hrs without anyone buying it, and I couldn't believe that no matter which way I tried I just plain couldn't afford it.

                        Actually plan on building the AH-60 DAP into an MH-60K. All are in 1/35.

                        Yup, definitely have to put up more shelves. The quest for space continues.

                        thanks for this grandadjohn, what do we know about this anyone? Can their stock be confirmed or is this another false reading?

                        Looks like I have some begging to do when I get home.

                        "I know I already ordered one, but I don't know if it'll ever get here, can't I please, please just order this one, too?"

                        How does that sound?

                        I gave Squadron a shot this morning. It's a good price, they've got a good reputation and I wanted two of 'em anyway. I should have an update on this very, very soon. Wink [;)]

                        Alright, I ordered another one of these elusive birds thru Squadron, so now we'll see which company can deliver the goods first. I was going to email Roll Models, but it seems that you can't anymore, and I don't think I'll have a chance to call from the office, so we'll just leave that order hanging in limbo for a while and see if it ever appears. So now I've got about 3 different orders out there that I'm waiting on.

                        The hunt continues...

                        This bodes well, it seems they have a few of them..

                        I just hope there is one left at the end of next week when the old cash flow is back on.

                        Fingers crossed..

                        Ha-Ha, looks like we'll be putting a dent in the stocks of a lot of companies with this one. The warehouse managers will be scratching their heads, wondering "We just had a pallet of those AH-6Js, where did they all go?"

                        Better to be in our hands than their warehouses, that's what I think.

                        I don't want to get too excited, but my found out from Great Models that my Little Bird is supposedly in transit here. I haven't heard from Squadron yet.

                        Well, I went ahead and added two to my order from Rolls models. Figured I was already getting a couple OV-10 update sets from Missing Link and figured that since they're putting the screws to me for shipping (one of the bad things about living in Alaska) then I might as well take a shot on the killer eggs.

                        Keep your fingers crossed boys.

                        But this really does bring up a common point brought up in all the modelling threads I've read (especially helicopters. Namely that if we can have our choice of 40 damn Apache models, then why can't we have a single HH-3F/E or a current high grade UH-1H, or what about a single 1/48 CH-47 (along with 1/35). Don't the manufacturers listen to what the market is demanding? Just makes me shake my head sometimes. I know things are getting better with the CH-46 release, but it's definitely about time.

                        What's the latest from Chief Owl? Haven't heard anything about their schedule of releases in a Looonnnggg time.

                        Hey, Sal.
                        Last I heard, Chief Owl was supposedly in the process of relocating to the states. That was about a month or so ago. Not a word since.
                        Don't know anymore than that. I know the website hasn't been updated since 11/17/03!!
                        I hate to sound pesimistic but, I have given up any hopes at all. I hope I am wrong. But, he could at least put SOMETHING in his news column at the site. Any news would be better than no news.

                        It appears the race is on! Though it doesn't really matter, as long as the ones I order show up on my doorstep, I'll be plenty happy.

                        Don't hate me. Today I was the windshield. I don't mean to taunt or mock anyone with this and I'm probably going to sound like a jerk for this so here's my preemptive apology. Call it a "judgement malfunction," but I can't help myself right now after a long day at work. Call me all the disparaging names you want, I probably deserve it.

                        If you've had a bad day or are in a foul mood, don't scroll down. Go to a different topic right now...

Then, we got "boomed" by another F/A-22 today (the fourth since friday), and I just got home from work and there it was, right on my doorstep!

                        I got lucky today and I'm keeping my fingers crossed for everyone here, that they get their Killer Eggs pronto.

                        Grant,
                        Now why in the world would you think that would make anyone here angry? Good on ya buddy! Glad to see she arrived Alpha-1. Besides, The way I see it this confirms that the re-release is official and the warehouses are getting stocked.
