Jeroen Sorry to see the HGW Rivets didn't work but you were able to save the day with the good old fashioned way of riveting. Have you tried the Archer Rivet System and what's you take on them? From what I've read and seem, they seem to work rather well. Keep 'em comin Peter

Gus Much appreciated .. wonderful doctors and my wife who was constantly by my side. Hopefully I'll be staying on the path for a full recovery and taking care of the dental situation as well. Cleaning out the air brush was a royal pain and I should have tested the MIG Thinner before trying to shoot it but now I know and extra care is surely needed. Keep 'em comin Peter

Sweet! Nice work on the struts. Keep 'em comin Peter

Kai Looking so good and fingers crossed your Mirage will be in the paint shop tonight for her black primer. My Mirage and resin sets still sit in the stash unopened as I would never have the patience and rock steady nerves to complete the kit. Keep 'em comin Peter

Nice weathering on the exhausts - looks mighty good. Hard to believe Quickboost would send out such a bad casting and of course, nice to see Hannants followed up with excellent customer service Keep 'em comin Peter

Kev Nice choice for your build thread and will be following. Keep 'em comin Peter

I just received their latest catalog .. I'm sure it's just a sale Keep 'em comin Peter

I received this email from Chris Decker (not sure why as I am not a customer) regarding the reopening of the Squadron Shop: ... Hello fellow modelers! We are excited to announce that squadron.com will be returning, under new ownership and management! Squadron will be back!!! As most of you know, MMD-Squadron Holdings, LLC (The parent company of squadron.com and Military Model Distributors) filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy earlier this year. After 53 years of providing a place for modelers around the world to purchase their new and most favorite models and supplies, the end looked like it was upon us. This was a travesty we could not let happen!Knot Models is a hobby merchandiser founded in 2016 that primarily does business in the Amazon Marketplace. Knot Models was founded by Chris Decker, a 20 year industry veteran who has built up and sold both hobby retailers and manufacturing companies over the years. Some of you might be familiar with Trident Hobbies, which became FreeTimeHobbies.com, and the model lines, Midship Models and Yankee Modelworks. Chris founded or was instrumental in bringing these lines to the marketplace.In April of 2021, Knot Models purchased the business assets of MMD-Squadron holdings from the bankruptcy court in Texas. We have been working tirelessly since then to rebuild and replace the systems that squadron.com needs to operate. We have also been working to source inventory from manufacturers and distributors around the world. Our goal is to relaunch squadron.com in early June of 2021 with over 15,000 products available for you to purchase!As we get closer to our launch date and have more details, we will be sending out more information. We are excited and eager to join you in this new chapter of Squadron.com! Until then, Happy Modeling! Chris Decker www.squadron.com ... ‌

Ian I too wonder who actually checks these things - apparently no one. Keep 'em comin Peter

Kai Nice work and completely agree - these parts should have been engineered correctly and included in the kit. Keep 'em comin Peter
