So are you going to do a well detailed interior on this one Joe?
Iām afraid Iād have to find a great big Can-o-Ambition to pull that off Stik.[:|]
Snagged this one up the other day on the cheap. Been waiting for one to be a reasonable price.

Nice score Brandon! That is a REAL BIG ONE once assembled. I hope you have some place to put it! Are you going to build it in the box top developmental South West Asia camo?
Pat those are some great scores as well! The charicature irreverent personalities of those kits is hilarious!
Iāll have to research the look I want for this kit, but I intend to do the early version, so the camo scheme may be the one. We have to move before I build this one as it will be displayed hanging, along with my SR-71 and B-29. Gonna need some serious room for all these large kits.

I bought a zombie to go with the zombie hunter that delivered a few weeks back. Iām hoping actual death will keep on moving past our house when he sees the reaper is already here.

Picked this up on Scale Model Graveyard, a facebook auction group. Interesting color of plastic, I guess itāll be safe to build this one while hunting deer! Iām in PA, so part of the Pumpkin Army

The Japanese equivalent of the Stearman! Very nice score Paladin!
The postman delivered this to my porch yesterday! Iāve been wanting this kit for some time. Why the old Hobbycraft E-1 when there are other newer E-1 kits available you might ask? Well because of the way that Hobbycraft molded their E series kits, with the 20mm gun barrels and magazine wing bulges molded as separate items, I can use those on another 109 project that I have in mindā¦ The price was a true bargain, under $8 plus inexpensive shipping. And it got to my grubby little hands in under three days. I wish all eBay sellers would charge their shipping like this guy.
Anyways, this kit was still sealed in the cellophane wrapper.
HOORAY! Bagged another long wanted kit! The surfboard, skateboard, the figure and the kool Scwinn Stingray bike are long wanted extras. Plus the choice of pick up or woody is a big plus on my scoreboard!
and the kool dude himselfā¦
Oh those are cool guys!!! Funny I forget about this thread when it isnāt on top thoughā¦
PFJN: Love that Ram tank, I need one of those!
And cool Spruce Paladin. Most Japanese trainers and experimental aircraft were painted in that weird orange colour.
Now thatās a very cool score.

Yes Brandon, Iām really chuffed!
Hi,
A couple more kits came in the mail today from eBay. I bought the Scimitar because I wanted a model of a light relatively modern armoreved vehicle to go along side some of my earlier era light tank models. I bought the 2nd model, the Chinese Frigate, nitially though mostly just for parts (especially the hull) for kitbashing. However, once I opened the package I discovered that its actually kind of a nice model on its own. Itās a weird scale (1/260) but its nice because thatās big enough that they were able to give some of the parts some realtively nice detail (such as the separately molded life raft cases and the molded on watertight doors etc). So now I am thinking of building the kit pretty much straight out of the box. [:)]

Pat, those two are a pair of nice purchases. The Scimitar is a gorgeous kit. And the Chinese Harpoon target, I mean Frigate looks really cool! Those bigger scale ships can be so beautifully detailedā¦
Nice additions Pat. Iāve got the Scimiter as well, looks a nice kit.
These came via fast airplane from HLJ (no surface shipping due to COVID). The decals came by post last week.
To be used in a future Mustangs of the World build.
As part of a collection of postwar aircraft flown by the 111th FIS out of Ellington Field by the Texas Air National Guard. The collection will consist of (in order) P-51D, F-84E, P-51H, P-80C, F-86D/L, F-102, F-101B, F-4C/D, F-16A-D, and MQ-1 Predator.
If my pictures are good enough, as raced at the San Antonio Grand Prix back in the late 80ās.
For the 111FIS build.
For my not yet started F-16s of the World collection.
Nice scores Lew. I really like all the decal sheets.
The postman brought my Sprue Brothers payday order todayā¦ a TC figure for my M46, a couple acrylic MRP paints that look to be good uniform colors, and a glue Iām gonna try out for the first timeā¦ Micro Weld
Thanks Stik. The problem with decals is that you buy them for one scheme and inevitably thereās another that youāll want to do as well. I didnāt realize how much of a redesign the P-51H was in relation to the D until I got the RS kit. Look forward to seeing your commander figure painted. Which build is it for?
