I ordered Dspiae tools and got them pretty quick, but one set did not ship. I got my money back. no problems really. Cheers Harald

Dale! Mine arrived today! Can't wait to get home in 3 weeks time!!

Dale, mine hadn't arrived yet as of yesterday, but I assume the postals will get it to my wife as soon as it gets in. I have to work... such BS really... lol

Nice collection there Sir Desmond! A few I have, and a few I'd like to add to the stash! I'd show mine, but I go to work today, and no new pictures available...

My stash is roughly 125 kits, some with, some without aftermarket. I only purchase what I have an interest in, although I did have a larger stash at one time, but financial difficulties made me drop some of it. I have started to repurchase some of those. My other half encourages my hobby, and does not bat an eyelid to expensive kits. she encouraged me to get the Hellcat from Airfix for one. She is into paper-crafting so we have two stashes, hers and mine. I often like to quip: "We are married but have separate craft-rooms". Never get any guff, and never give guff, as long as the requirements of living are taken care of. And Tamiya Extra Thin...

Sitting at work for another 7 days, then only 4 days off, then an extended tour of 24 days... BUT... I just ordered a shipment from the brothers of sprue, and I have a fw items arriving!!

Wow just wow. Sir Desmond said it best... Superb!

My exact thought Earnie, Spun in.... boyo that would have sucked more

I have several buddies down now, or headed down to fight fires with helicopters. Fires are shit!

The Sepecat Jaguar Gr. Series... beautiful airplane!

Ernie Kind Sir, this is my Contribution to the Raffle, NIB Tamiya PE Tools, Diamond File, Scissors and PE Folding Pliers. I have these tools myself, and I find them excellent. Specifically pruchased for this even! Cheers Harald

Congrats!

Put me in please! I'll contribute something as well, likely a new tool of some kind.

As does Festivus! My celebration of choice! I'll parttake!

I cleaned out my bench for 2 weeks of work. So when I get home I feel inspired? Well I'd like to think, but next time off will be a jumble, with some extra work days etc... Second picture show what is currently on the bench, with this baby obviously: Cheers H.

No picture, but a full meal deal from Harv on one of my grail kits! the F-105D in 32nd!

Have a couple LSP's on the go, this Westland Lynx is almost complete, just windshield wipers left, also a Revell Mustang. I won't be getting any more revell kits unless I win them (The Mustag was a raffle price from last Xmas). Cheers!

I have the OV-10A partially built, but just awaiting a different project to complete before I carry on, and an F-86K in 32nd, the 2 Seasprites, a Dauphin, a Huey, a Jaguar and a Super Etendard in 48th. The OV-10 is decent, but require some work, and I hear the the F-86 requires patience and close scrutiny as not all instructions are correct. The kits are very nice in look but the 48th kits are very detail heavy and have what I consider unnecessary detailing such as a full engine and transmission on the Dauphin, that looks to be reasonably correct, but extremely fiddly to get to work... Now with that said, I'm mediochre at best and can only hope to do a decent job, but I'm sure, even though these are not Tamiya by any stretch, anyone can make a fairly decent model out of these with some patience and skill. I have seen Ernie's build of the T-28, and it looks really well made, so I believe from what I have gleaned from other fora, that it is a superb kit. Cheers and pardon the long waffling! H.

Get well soon, we need builds!

Glad they can fix your ticker Carl! @harv! I built that Sea Hawk in 1987 or 88 for my friend, think we may have blown it up after, but I loved it! I think it is a knock off from the Hasegawa Sea Hawk of the same vintage!

HA! I build models of airplanes and helicopters I like, and would personally have loved to have flown. Aircraft that may have played part in books I have read. For me that spans an era from WW2 US/British to Modern, and mostly Single seat/Single Engine. I personally don't build axis aircraft but have been known to delve in Soviet subjets... Weird, I know. Vietnam to present fetures prominently, but WW2 to Korea does also exist, 32nd, 48th, and 72nd are the go to scales. Mostly 72nd because I can throw the model out withou feeling guilty if I screw up, which I do frequently. Which is also why i mostly stay avay from LSM because I feel not worthy, as I see some of the projects completed on this and other 32nd sites... Cheers H

Now... Would it fit in a Sea Fury? As in a Hobbycraft with Fisher goodies (all except the engine...)

Now I'm far away from an Expert, but if you can take the Kinetic/Italeri's somewhat crude detail, it does build into a nice kit. There are also sometimes, some AMS parts available for it, including a cockpit. I build a Canadian Mk.6 withou adding anything to it, and it looks like a Sabre!

Drummers are awesome! John Bonham is my master! Hugs from Icy cold Canada

My meager contribution to the tread: Doggo, he is my wife's best buddy, but he hangs with me when I'm home and wife is at work! Revell Mustang.... Not a great kit, but it looks like a 'stang! Revell Lynx.... Decals are total ass... I hate them. with a passion. Cheers! Harald (Winnie)
