Can you believe I found a Littlebird locally?--Twice!!

So, I have a couple minutes to kill, so I went into a local hobby store that I hit about once a year. And Low and behold there’s a Dragon AH-6 Littlebird in 1/35 sitting on the shelf. Now, mind you, my normal hobby shop guy said he hasn’t been able to get them. (these two buy from the same local supplier). So I said to hobby shop guy “where;d you get it? and if you can ever get another, I’ll take it.” Monday. He called wednesday to say he has another ready to be picked up.

I don’t know whether my REAL hobby shop guy is just getting a bum deal from the supplier or whether he never really looked for it.

But, hey, they’re out there.

“Check six, Mr. Clark”
“Always, Colonel Johns.”

Funny how that happens, isn’t it? I’ve got two of these elusive birds now. One I had ordered from Squadron back in October, when the re-issue whispers were rampant. The other my dad found on-line and sent as a Christmas gift. They both arrived within days of each other. My wife seriously wanted me to send the Squadron one back. No way was that going to happen. Now I can make the MELB as well as a gunship if I want.
