  1. Mike, you're not the only one. This looks like it might be a serious breakout for some of us. I'm actually really looking forward to this. And somewhere in my stash I have a German halftrack with a resin IR nightlight conversion of some kind. I might, A. see if the timeline is right, and B. Give it a shot. Who knows, I might even start to like these things
  2. Guard your Hobbycraft P-51A's. It doesn't look like we'll get any more for quite a few years. I expect they'll get to be like hen's teeth.
  3. I’m looking at the gold mine in that junked aircraft pole of parts in the foreground...
  4. She’s a big ol’ lady. and a correction to my observer window post. I BUFFED them up, not buggered them up. Autocorrect induce typo.
  5. We Phil, Matchbox kits are a product of the time, lots of moulded on detail with simplified everything, and trenches for panel lines. But the Lizzie is generally an accurate kit and with some minor scratchbuilding turns out great. I’m sure you’ll love it, and with what’s turning out to be a ground pounder’s GB, an Army Co-Op machine is a great addition.
  6. YES! I was thinking it might have been a very, very good time to build a truly beat up P-51A, but to me, nothing says “Normandy” like a Tiffie... We’ll give it a try after the 6 ton White. Although I might just do the Allison bird. I just need to get an accurate spinner....
  7. Jeff, I took the cheater’s way out: I bought another kit and swiped the wheel from it. I’ll replace that spruce once they appear on eBay, then build the kit. I’ll definitrly build it because I love the Lanc. And this kit builds like a dream. As for the observers windows, Mike Swinburne 3D printed me several. I buffed them up and dipped them in Future.
  8. Phil, if you're thinking Lysander, despite all the issues the 1/32 Matchbox model has, I've seen some very, very decent builds from that kit.
  9. I've settled on an easy one to start, but it'll be breaking new ground for me. The White 6 ton, 6X6 hardtop cab cargo truck. Not special, not fancy, not super powerful or whiz-bang, instead, just workaday and everyday common. IF I have time, I might find a trailer or a gun I can attach to the pintle hook. Maybe a "borrowed" 88" And just so you know, I'm already looking at resin wheels....
  10. Ugh. Mine sucked up high just looking at that.
  11. wrong thread for this, but does that come in a full set of all 6 or just the two steer tires?
  12. There's always something with Trumpetboss, isn't there. Good GRIEF!
  13. I’m looking forward to it as well, Kent. Nice looking decals.
  14. And I’ve been accused of being a kit hoar, uhh, I mean collector
  15. Tony has seen it. It’s not unmanageable. Honestly. Lol I’ve actually got it to what I want. Lots and lots of resin, so it needs to be inside the house
  16. It’s big enough, but I’ve gotten rid of many many kits. I have some of the not so exciting kits in the barn
  17. Ya know, I might have one of those dozer or traktor kits somewhere. I mean a high end resin kit. Might have to look....
  18. Yup grabbed it nice kit needs a quad 50 in the bed
  19. C'mon now, I have a fair bit of putty on me as well.
  20. Vell.......... LHS has a White 666 in stock... Definitely was used in the landings, but this is the hardtop version. I think it might do. Will need to find resin wheels, though
