Yes, I had a look at the B-17 stuff you reviewed and it looks very nice. I commented in the guns thread that they do look very good and will undoubtedly improve the kit. I also said that I've lost all interest in the B-17G kit and unless they make some drastic changes with the F, my position will remain unchanged.

Ho-Ho! If you're getting the 25H next week, do you have any inkling about when it will be available to the public or is this to coincide with the public release? I'm thinking I might like the H (remembering fondly the old Monogram B-25H from long ago). Looking forward to seeing how HK rendered the 75 and the nose in general. Nige: Nice review on the resin guns and engines. They do look very nice and highly detailed. You do the aftermarket industry a great service when buying and reviewing their products and I thank you for it. These sets will add a level of detail that does not currently exist within the kit. Having said that however, my interest in the kit has long faded and unless things change drastically with the next one, I don't see any change in my disposition.

Hiya Nige! Nice progress... I can tell you from babysitting at least one dog (a chocolate labrador retriever) that they do a few annoying things those first few months and those are: eat, poop/pee wherever (until you get them housebroke) and chew, chew, chew.... My wife's hope chest (LOL, she sure got no hope with me ) is full of gnaw marks from the little rascal we took care of for a few days awhile back. LOL, I'm sure you're well aware of the shenanagins that the little darlin will be putting you through. This Karl thing-a-ma-jig, is shaping up nicely. Another heavily involved kit you've gotten yourself into. I just picked myself up the new 1/35 Dragon Jagdpanther G2. Should be here in a few days. As if I don't have enough models to build already (including two other Dragon Jagdpanthers, one early and one G1) I've still gotta finish the N1K2-J though.

Hey! Very nicely done and not your typical markings. I like the composition of your subject with the base, it gives the model a lot of class. Well done sir!
