What interesting about this boxing is that it also includes the parts for the RATO packs it could use.

There is an Ar-234 (not sure which particular variant) on display at the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum.

Traded with a guy on another forum for this. Nice little kit I built way back in the early 80s. I have a thing for fixed landing gear planes.

The NASM example is an Ar-234B -two engines. 234Cs had four engines

Ohhh, that starfighter looks very interesting. How’s it look in the box? Good kit? I’ll be following that build once you start it.

Not sure…I haven’t looked yet

Well get down to it! You have people waiting!

Seriously, I’ve watched a couple of reviews of that kit l, with only one build, but the builder struggled with it. I’m not sure if was their skills or the kit?

Wow, I sure have been neglecting my friends here at FSM. But I came away from a local show yesterday with a pretty hefty haul – had to share it. Hoping for some serious bench time over the next couple months to finish off some projects so I can crack open a new kit!

Hey everybody its been a while since i could speak to all of you. Bad 2025 as the mother-in-law past early fall, daughter got engaged, father-in-law put in to a home and that was in the last 7 months, not to mention that work thingy that gets in the way…

Well, where do i start? Oh yeah, “Hi, my name in Nomads and I’m an addict”



This only scratches the surface of what’s come in…

Im back physically, need to get back in the swing of things…

My youngest absolutely loves farm equipment: tractors, combines, mowers, planters, you name it. So I picked this up from eBay. Should be fun.

Nice - I’ve got that same Monogram kit, but the “next generation” as the Miller SNJ!

I’ve been neglecting y’all what with the being super busy (hard to complain, when you’re self-employed). No pics to share right now, but soon, I hope. Gotta find where I put the stuff! :rofl:

Glad to have you back at what ever you level you can manage. That mandalorian kit is on my radar, I’ll be interested to see what you think. I’ve seen mixed reviews about the fit so I’m cautious.

Is your youngest building on their own or are you going to build with them? Cool model.

He’s 3 so his version of helping me is spraying water through the air brush. :grin: He’ll keep at me to work on it though.

Brilliant! With some water soluble pigment (water color) around the tires and lower areas of the tractor he can help with the weathering :light_bulb:

I might hold on to it as hopefully, GreenStrawberry comes out with some PE kits for it…
