Alright, Santa rocks for sure! got the Hobby Boss P-61, the WNW Salmson USAS, and Hasegawa Frank!
-
Yup, I was pleased to see something for us Yanks and ordered one right away!

Hey STIKPUSHER are you in Garden Grove? I grew up going to Brookhurst, remember it when it was just a little cubby hole down the street!

You're right, did look at the wrong version - but Tom Cleaver also did a -2 version,
and this is what he said about the four decal options:
Decals are provided for William T. Amen’s MiG-killer, an F9F-2 flown by my old Commanding Officer, VADM Damon W. Cooper, when he was CO of VF-91 aboard the Princeton in 1953, a grey-white Marine Reserve airplane, and a very colorful F9F-2KD drone controller used for the Regulus program from Point Mugu in 1958.

I missed that review...thank you!

Hi, found this in Tom Cleaver's Modelling madness-review, hope this helps:
Markings are for Harry Brubaker’s “Two-Zero-Niner” of VF-192 Golden Dragons (which was a real airplane flown with the “LT. H. BRUBAKER” marking for the rest of the time the squadron flew the Panther after it starred in the movie), a Marine Panther of VMF-232 in Gull Grey and White, and the Number 5 solo plane from the Blue Angels’ 1955 team.
Thanks so much for taking the time to look for the info but that is the -5 Panther, I was wondering about the -2.
-
I am contemplating whether I should drop a bunch of cash at a Black Friday sale or just get one of Paul Fishers nice resin kits. I was wondering what the other marking options were in the F9F-2 kit as it doesnt clarify in the decription on the web page. I sent an e mail but no reply yet and the sales are either going on now or close at hand. Thanks!

OV-10 Bronco!!!!!!
Av-8A Harrier
FJ-2/3 Fury
S-3 Viking I think you all had the WWII stuff covered so I thought I would go a different direction!

Interior on the 111 is off the hook. Almost a shame to close it up. What is this "Hornet" I hear people talking about?

I know some picked up some of their new stuff at Telford, any idea when the rest of us might get our hands on one(especially the Hornet)?
-
Thank you sir! We had whispers of the Salmson before and knew about the EI and the AEG. It seems the last couple years they have released something totally off the radar screen though, like the Hannover last year. I am thinking we may see something else in time for Christmas, how about you? I know this is a HK Meteor thread and will abstain from further WNW posts...sorry!!

Awesome! Wheres the WIP Pics???? I am about to start this kit very soon!
Sorry Dave I am not set up too well in the photography dept yet. I did take one of the work I did in the nose gear bay at the beginning but then I got lazy. It is weird that Aires has not done a cockpit set for this bird as of now, I imagine it is because of the way Trumpeter layed out the construction in that part of the fuselage. I used the Eduard set which is the wrong color but I was able to mask with Tamiya tape and hit it with dark gull gray. These pics don't do the build justice really, I am not one to brag but I really put some time into her...Thanks again for the nice comments!
-
Happy Saturday gentlemen! I have been on a small hiatus due to a new job however the modeling continues. Here is my Trumpy Superbug with all sorts of fun stuff added. You will notice, due to my denial of the need for glasses at times that I put one of the caution triangles on sideways...oops. I hope you enjoy her!
Now back to the B-25!!

Awesome, still praying...
-
Nice pair of Fokkers for sure! I haven't bone a WNW kit in a while maybe it's time!!
-
Nice build, and nice choice of markings you don't see those much if at all. More jets!!
-
Ya I am primarily a jet guy so bring it on. I also have the Gr,1 with ALL the bells and whistles, so how about some motivation!!
-
Awesome! I actually submitted the pics this bird to Eli for use on this sheet !
-
Excellent, me thinks its time for me to buy another WnW kit!!
-
$240 on Stevens International? F- that.
I'd pay $150ish, but $240 is ridiculous.
Ya well that wont be the price we see in stores, if you look at all their other prices compares to what they actually sell for in stores you get a better idea. It seems the best prices are usuall about 50 to 60 bucks less than the msrp at Stevens....
-
Got in touch with the gang at Sprue Bros and they said next week sometime. Correct me if I am wrong but it would seem Trumpeter is releasing the A-6 here in the US first, interesting....
-
Ya well Stevens International, Trumpeters distributor here lists it as in stock!! I would think you'll find cheaper than that price soon though....
-
When is it going to be released?

Should be in July,,,
Regarding HK B-25
in Modelling Discussion
Posted
Hi all! I am looking for a source for the noseweights for the HK B-25 here in the U.S, and I was also wondering if there was a resin barrel for the 50 cals out there I could use instead of the brass ones. I know there is no resin barrel set made for the specific kit but I know there are resin barrels out there. Thanks for your help! John
