I’m going to start this thread because I know that most of us have that one kit in our stash that we bought because it was the craziest looking or the “most one of a kind” kit that we definitely need to buy NOW or we won’t be able to later. For me it was definitely the BV 141. For me this is definitely the weirdest looking aircraft I have ever seen in my life. And so it starts…Whats the weirdest kit in your stash?
Well here it is on the 6th of Feb 2013. I thought I would revive this thread because we have enough new members to get some more input with. So here goes:
Its still around. I got mine from Hannants, and they still have some in stock. Though it is a bit pricey for the amount of detail. And i have heard there is an issue with the panel lines. I plan on building it soon for a couple of GB’s on here. Theres also a 1/48th kit, but thats resin.
In Corpus? No way. We had Leisure Time hobbies until about 10 years ago(right after my wife and I moved here) The only hobby stores we have here are HL and Micheals if you want to call thoe hobby shops. I will, however, look for that 1/48th resin kit. Is it made by the same manufacturer?
No, HUMA are a German company. Planet Models are from the Czech Republic and the same company as CMK and Special Hobby. I think you would be lucky to find these types of kits in an LHS, unless yours are more hard core than ours are. But if you can order online, Sprue Brothers has the resin kit. They have 1 left.
No problem. Be nice to see how it turns out. Hopefully we will see some more weird and wounderful kits.
No doubt. I was just going through my stash to see what I wanted to build next and I found the BV141. Then I just started the thread to see what kind of stuff everybody had. I hope to see some unusual ones too.
Weirdest ‘aircraft’? The Polar Lights re-pop of the Jetson’s Space Ship (the one that converted into George’s briefcase with the push of a button).
Another is the Polar Lights ‘Shop of Horror’ Guillotine kit. And yet another is TV Tommy Ivo’s 4-engine dragster. It’s a Revell re-issue. I don’t have that much weird stuff as aircraft.
Nothing too weird about the military kits I have, now regarding figures the one below call ‘Evil Fox’ is pretty cool. The below pics are from E2046 as I have not taken any progress photo’s yet.
The kit is 1/6th scale and I have just started working on it a little bit here and there. Clean up of flash and seams was easy, the fit of the dragon’s head was excellent, see some fit problems fitting the woman to where she’s suppose to be ( but isn’t that typical?). Surprisingly the wife loves the kit.
the weirdest aircraft kit I have in the stash is the XF5U-1 Flapjack
the weirdest “kit” is a Vee Day JN Jenny,I might build it one day, but, I have an Olimp kit, so there isn’t much need to torture myself
another Weird kit,is a short stack of StarFix T-38s,I plan to build them up, let people oooo and ahhh over the “Hasegawa kit”,and then show them the box tops (same mold, lol)
