This is kinda like the serious Naval modellers equivalent of Airfix’s “dogfight doubles”
[;)]
Thanks everyone, tune into the Coral Sea and Midway Group Builds for any updates as that is why I acquired these.
Crown and Scott: Those are some really nice stuff there- congrads!!!
Chip: I’m getting an Error 404 (not found) on your photos. [:(]
Well… a pair of 1/144 Platz F-2As from my uncle and a few reference books.
Still can’t make my mind up about this bandai figures, going to have to get one eventually to see for myself.
have a word with Porkbits and Nuc over on theStarwars GB. They have both built bandai kits and might be able to help.
thank you Bish I was joking. Ive work with rank and fuji xerox instructions they are all digograms very easy to follow. It seems funny only the title its all good.
Yeah, it appears I cannot link an image to my google photo library…
Here is my haul from IPMS in all it’s glory.

Hi Chip that tamiya p-47 is a real jewel Ive built 4 of them and have 3 on the shelf
The Accurate Miniatures SBDs and Mustangs are pretty nice as well. Very nice scores.
That…is…AWESOME! Who makes that figure? What scale or size is it? It would very cool if it’s 1/32, and then you could put him with his mount, too.
I look forward to seeing your progress on this one!
Best regards,
Brad
Hi Brad,
I spotted the kit on the Planet Figure Forum. It is from a Spnaish company called Dolman. It is a completely computer generated figure - I was surprised by the quality, detail level and likeness to the original character! It is 90mm so the P-40 would be a bit large 
1941 was panned by the critics but I still think it was a great movie!
I love my Badger 200. I have two with differnet needle sizes. I’ll have to look into that Patriot. Looks like a nice brush.
It is a nice brush, and very affordable. Mine came with the fine needle, and that seems to be a good needle size for everything I have asked it to do. It is also very easy to keep clean. Feels like quality throughout. I have read on this forum that it is a good idea to learn how to use one brush well, and this one will be my workhorse.
I haven’t forgotten my armor roots. I’ve been wanting a Valentine for long time. I hope Tamiya releases a Crusader next.

As promised, here is what I ordered and just recieved with my birthday cash.
I’ve been wanting this kit ever since it came out. I’ve always thought the Viggen was just wicked looking. I also have a mask set for the splinter camo scheme on the way. Appears to be a beauty of a kit upon opening. I’ll be picking up a couple more AM parts prior to building this up.
Picked this up on a FB auction for a rather reasonable price. Although I’m not much of an armor builder, the Dragon Firefly fills a void in desired tanks.
Then there is this potential source of masochistic pain. I’ve had this on my ebay watch list for quite some time and it was high time to pull the trigger on it. It is quite the extensive PE set. I’ve had the 1/700 Hasegawa IJN Kinugasa kit for years and now I have the enhancements to dress it up right nice.
Still have some cash left and I’m considering picking up some Mission Models acrylic paints and give them a try on my unfinished Tamiya Tiger tank.
Thanks for sharing this with me folks.
Well they are issuing the Italeri Crusader III with additional spruces of their own. And the Italeri kit is pretty good on its own…

Yes, but I’d prefer a newly tooled kit. I probably built this back in the 80’s. I had the Italeri Mk II Crusader and stupidly sold it. I’m not sure this has enough new bling to justify the price.

Joe, that ship PE set, i have not heard of Rainbow models, are they new. The label reminds me of Lion Roar or great wall.
No, they’re not new. I’ve had this PE set on my ebay watch list for at least 2 yrs. I haven’t checked into their complete line but, it’s a sweet looking set. I also have their deck set for the Kinugasa on order.
Thanks Joe. I’d never heard of them. I found their site and they do seem to have a lot of IJN stuff.
