If you like Amodel, you'll love Mach 2. Unfortunately, like Amodel, the kits they produce are usually the only game in town. Wayne, put me down for an ancient (raised panel lines) Hasegawa F-14A. Now to find me some Jolly Roger decals to go with the Zero I'm building for the Pearl Harbor build.

Wane,

Put me down for the 1/72 Italeri/Tamiya F-14A Tomcat I'm going to build for Stick's Gulf War GB. I won't get to it for a little while though.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

Shake and bake, three words that until now, have never been uttered in the same sentence as Amodel. I'll be down for something, just don't what.

here is the basic wing and cockpit asssemblies.

The cockpit will be very bare but that is OK< not much to be seen through the small canopies anyway.

Wayne please also putme down for this 1/72 Academy 1/72 T-6. It will also be a fast no frills build most likely in South African AF scheme.

Thanx

Holy cow this Amodel 128 is a bad kit :-( The fit is bad and the parts are full of flash. It will not be the shake and bake kit I was hoping for....will take allot of work to get right.

I might have to substitute it for a fast easy build to get some build *** back.

i do a lot of warwheels and \trucks in 1/35. this is my first truck in OTS. i got it to practice on Aoshima before getting others which, of course, did not work out as planned as i stare at my Aoshima OTS stash which includes a PATRIOT, TANK TRANSPORTER, 2 TYPE 74s, and the 8x8 AFV. OTOH i could build an OTS JASDF aeroplane to park next to my tanker. Plus an annual local is coming up and i have done quite well in this scale.

plastic one piece wheels which are hollow on the inside as are the bottoms of vehicle cargo boxes. wouldn't be seen on a base but i will fill them in. shouldn't be all that bad. it isn't camouflaged so that's good. i have Tamiya JSGSDF OD but will look for an MMA or Vallejo match so i can brush touch up easier.
