Yeah, that distinctly sound like an request, err I mean order!![;)]
Bish I would have been 14 during the Falklands war.
I’ve seen some of those paper models built up into very nice models, some I thought were plastic at first glance.
I dunno [:|] just got my mitts on a 1/48 Dragon 229 but…well ummmm I dont think I could start it before mid January and no way will that me enough time for us S L O W , well slow like me anyways, to have it finished by Febuary. Any chance of going to April maybe ??? [:D]
I must say I did fail speed building 101 classes by Fermis and Kermit. [:$]
Dude, I’ll give you a 29 day extension already…
Alright then, I’ll accept your lame paper 229 as a substitute for a real model only because you are on deployment…BUT it better bloody well look good…
…oh, and I’ll play the “Final Cut” album a few times while you’re away to keep you and your paper airplane in my thoughts…stay warm and remember it is against the law to get too chummy w the penguins…
Aaronw Thanks for that link. I just registered and found out that firstly you get 3 free, unfortunatly the 229 isn’t a free one. and second you download them and not have to wait for them in the post. I have got the 229 and the me 109, just gotta pick two more freebies. This will give me somthing to do next time i am away or even when home on leave. I think i am going to take a handful with me. If they get ruined, i can just print another one off and start again. Thanks bud.
Manny, put me down for a 1/64 scale Fiddlersgreen Ho 229. I bet you won’t see that scale or brand on here often.
Fiddlers Green?? Are they manufactured by leprechauns?? [*-)]
Ye, you get 229 on them free with your first dowload. Apparently theres a special offer on. Order before Xmas and you get a bonus pot of gold.
It comes in pints?? I’m getting one!! (sorry, that was a hobbit quote, not a leprechaun quote!)
Close enough. Actually they come over via Rainbow.
I’ve still gotta look into that pot of gold offer!
Guys, my Squadron flyer just came yesterday and they have the 1/72nd Revell of Germany kit on sale for $11.81. I’m not a big braille scale builder but it’s less trouble than ebay. And plus shipping and handling you’re going to end up with a bill of what - 15-16 bucks? I can’t hardly get a good meal at a sit down resturant for less than 15 bucks anymore.
Not too useful I’ll admit to the non yanks on the forum but still thought I’d point it out.
hmmmmm - wonder what CDN shipping turns that into? Worth checking out, thanks Gamera.
less than 22mins… and i’ll be 229 richer !!
ebay is an evil place… ehhehehe…
Congrats! Although the shipping is more than the winning bid! Still a decent buy though.
My brain is wandering - dangerous I know! I don’t have kit in hand yet… but I have a decent store of spare parts… a flying wing is a fairly simple shape… I’m actually considering scratchbuilding this bugger! Am I crazy?? (You know, crazier than usual!)
VanceCrazier ???..
Yup! [proplr]
I can probably pull it off, so long as I provide Manny with evidence that the final product ended up costing me $229…
PSSST, i did a quick scan on a currency converter. 229 Fijian Dollars is 121 US. He will never notice the difference
I received that kit yesterday and I must tell you that I was really impressed with it, especially as it is 72nd scale…lot’s of detail I wouldn’t have expected…and bigger than I thought it would be…
I also bought a resin Aires Jumo 004 engine with the possibility that I might get brave and cut one of the engine panels open and drop it in…I’ll post some pics sometime this weekend…I can recommend this kit…
