What I found on my doorstep today:
Man I love tax returns!! And a Greatmodels 50% sale of course!! 10 Tamiya models for $150 averages $15 a model…not too shabby![:D]
Some nice wingies there Heath. I’d love to have the Wildcat and 190. Ive got the Kanonwagen too. So which is first in line?
Kanonwagen for the Half track group build. I have already prepped half of the parts, and will probably start laying down paint and building it this weekend. After that will be the Pink Panther, and I am hoping to find a mosquito soon for the mosquito group build. I plan on having a very busy modeling year!
I have build the kyofu, very nice kit. Can be an easy build, SOB.
The wildcat is in my stash, it looks great!
If only I got them for $15![:(]
I just built the Wildcat which I got at Hobby Lobby for 1/2 price. (It was marked at $12 and the clerk took 1/2 off that, no wonder why they quit the 1/2 price sales). It is a great kit.

[#ditto]on the wildcat. As soon as I finish my B-24, I’ll start on the wildcat. looks great to me. I also have some AM parts picked out for it.
At the rate I build models, all those that you have would probably last me a few years.[:P] Good luck!
I envy u soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
much…
Keep me up to date on your build Heath. I’m curious as to how the tracks will work. Some say you can glue them down, others couldn’t.
Sure will bro! I started seperating parts from the sprues last night…but it will still be a couple of weeks before I get to the tracks. I did notice that the plastic is…different. Not sure how to explain it other than my sanding sticks kind of “slide” on the plastic, instead of sanding, even using a newer, tougher grit. It could be just really oily. So I will be sure to wash the parts before I paint.
I don’t the UPS man hates you that much; now if they were all die cast, that would be a different story. [:D]
I have the PBR and the Wildcat (just bought the Wildcat yesterday in Tokyo, also a good deal) and like the looks of both. Have fun!
Heath,
How’s the “Hobbyland USA” over in your neck of the woods?
Carl
Hey Carl, Hobbytown USA has a decent stock, but is very expensive. I find a lot better deals on the internet than any LHS. It does have a great selection of paints that I dig through almost weekly, but other than that they are mainly an RC affiliated hobby shop.
Thanks! Just wanted to get an idea if it’s worth the trip up.
I’m currently reviewing the F4F, here are a few accessory items you might want to look at …
Some Ultracast seats
Eduard PE landing flaps
Superscale decals
KMC Cowling Flaps
Nice haul!! You just have to remember, we compulsive internet shoppers are job security for him!! That Wildcat is a popular kit. I have it on my wish list as well. I’m currently wtching a couple on E-Bay. We’ll see how it goes.
Thanks for the headsup Swanny! Man I love Ultracast seats! Very clean moldings.
yep the UPS ,man or woman around here are starting to hate me real bad got another coming in from great models and from the great white north[:D][:D]
If I would have that on my door step waiting for me the post would read “Greatmodels loves me, my fiancee is going to kill me.”
