  1. Some time in the fairly near future for the Typhoon I think.
  2. I agree Peter and I have sold some off a while back but since have made up for it with more kits! LOL Just received 2 today, another Trumpeter -4 Corsair and a Hasegawa 1/48 Typhoon.
  3. Looking good Peter. The replacement spinner sure helps the looks doesn't it.
  4. Thank you Phil. Unfortunately my stash isn't shrinking as I keep adding to it! LOL
  5. Thank you Peter. πŸ™„
  6. Me too Gaz! πŸ™„
  7. I have the Anigrand 1/72 resin kit for this a/c and just never have gotten around to building it. I think that will change soon!
  8. Me too Carl. One of those things.
  9. Agreed Hubert. Too bad the B-51 didn't get the go-ahead as I really like that a/c. It was in a movie with William Holden named Toward the Unknown.
  10. Outstanding work Kevin! Now I wish I hadn't sold my unbuilt kit off!!!
  11. Thanks Gaz! It should make a nice looking bird after all is said and done. My understanding as to the change in designation was because the Martin B-26 Marauder was being phased out of inventory. The Air Force no longer used the "A" for attack designation so I guess they decided it was only natural to re-designate the A-26 Invader with the "B" suffix. Sure has caused a lot of confusion over the years. πŸ€ͺ
  12. Proceeding right along with this one. I had to add a gun sight, compass and and seat belts from my stash of leftovers. The resin wheels are True Details although I might not use them as the kit items are a bit more accurate for a "K" but have no tread.
  13. I know what you mean Peter. Sure can be a PITA! πŸ€ͺ
  14. Red in this diagram so I guess they could be either color.
  15. How's this Peter? https://ww2aircraft.net/forum/threads/sbc-small-bomb-container-request.19403/
  16. Both kits have some problems unfortunately, especially the -1D. No comparison to the Tamiya kit. I built one ages ago and replaced darn near everything from my spares stash and after market stuff. The -4 is better but still has some problems as you know. Here's a couple of photos of the -1D I built back in 2010 Aires cockpit and wheel wells plus other after market stuff. No way was I going to try to fold the wings! LOL
  17. Nope, no Bay of Pigs version at least for the foreseeable future.
  18. Gettin' there Martin. LOL Thanks.
  19. Starting on this one now. LOTS of parts plus LOTS of not for use parts.
  20. Thanks Hubert. Should be a nice one!
  21. Looks like it's going to be the ICM 1/48 B-26K. Ought to look good with the black undersides, etc. Here's a pic of the earlier build of the A-26B that I built a couple of years ago.
  22. Thank you Dennis. I'm pleased that you like it.
  23. Thanks Rockie. I think it turned out pretty well. If you do decide to build one I'd recommend getting a Vector cockpit set. I got mine here: https://www.ultracast.ca/searchresults.asp?Search=Vector+1%2F32+P-51&Submit= Not cheap but it is the best price I could find and WAY better than on ebay.
