Awesome Jeroen, Looking forward this! Did you get any figures too?

I can never find that stuff here in NZ... So I use 3M 218 Fine Line Tape.. comes in 3mm and 6mm

In being in ore of this, I forgot to ask how does the Brass take with have holes/circles punched into it?

Just tell her its a "Reveiw Sample".... Thats what I am doing

I have plans for mine already... I will be backdating it to a PBY-5 that flew with the RNZAF... I really like the Intermediate Blue over Grey schemes - But the Dark Sea Blue over white is growing on me too! Hahahaha! You will power isn't strong enough!

Great looking Pit! Looking forward to your build of this kit!

Here is the link to the Brass Sheet if anyone is going to order - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Brass-Shim-Sheets-001-002/dp/B008AWEALU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1379450667&sr=8-1&keywords=K%26S+shim And this How to just got Pinned!

That's awesome Peter! I will be trying this myself for sure!

Totally argree Nick! Blohm & Voss BV 138 or a Dornier Do 24! I do plan to do start it very soon... Just need to clear the 109's!

Thats insane! Awesome build Peter! Looking forward to seeing more updates!

Well its not that a lot of money when you think about it, over the amount that everyone spends on kits and AM etc.... The Catalina is actually cheaper that the HK Models B-17 with all the Eduard Sets, Decals and Barrels thrown together. I do know a few people that are doing this, and going full hog on the Fort... Going off Sprue Brothers webstore... I get a total of US$883.76 for all the items for the B-17 including the kit without shipping.... The Catalina from HPH cost me 600 Euro including shipping, and going off today's conversion rate... 600 Euro is only US$800.28... It took me over 6 weeks to deicide on getting this kit myself... I must admit that the price was a factor at first, but after seeing Jim's review I am glad that I did get it! There is going to many hours of modelling in this kit! HPH Models does make it easier to purchase it, with the deposit first and the remaining balance at the end. I did sell off some unwanted kit to help fund it.

or some Pukin' Dog's...

Sweet another package this afternoon.... and its my airlines from Pleasedshop!

This is one of my options.... but its a $50 sheet!

Not knowing much about schemes etc.. I would like to do one in a active combat zone with ordinance hanging of the wings... But some of those CAG schemes are pretty cool.

Awesome review Jim! Really looking forward to seeing it person when mine arrives from HPH!

3 port Value for my airbrush compressor.. Just need to wait for my quick disconnects and hoselines to turn up from Pleasedshop.com and Barracuda F4U Engine set Upgrade, Stencils and 3 sets of F4U/Hellcat wheels.

Hopefully very soon Matt! Its very high up on the list

Hahaha Timing! Thanks for that Andy... I will have to order a set.. at least they are only a few $$$

Thanks Andy! I will give those ESC Pipes a miss then... And use the $$$ somewhere else. I saw superbugs website, and its not the first time I have heard someone having a issue with them.

Cheers guys! Anyone know what these ESC bits are about?

Ok, so I have this Trumpeter F/A-18E that I just got off Arrow Wolf.... Since I really don't know that much about things that suck and blow hot air... What AM is out there for the Super Bugs?... I done a basic search via Google and some of the stores and I have only found the a few things... Rhino Seamless intakes w/wheels (Ordered) Eduard Sets Quickboost ESC Pipes (Late) and ESC Vents (Early) - Really have no idea if these are need for an E? Aires Nozzles What else is out there.. the list seems to be small

I don't know if this still works.... jrutman53@yahoo.com

I would be interested in getting the spats as separate items... The nose shape does look good, but the it price is kinda putting me off... Once I convert it back to NZ $ and then I have to add on Shipping too! Hoes does the Eduard Intake match to the Resin parts? Can it be done?

Yeap Drop Jerry a email or Message him via LSP... Sometimes he has a few things laying around!
