Fantastic pick, Carl. The only accurate Lightning in 1/32 … Hubert

I’d say VERY nice 😎 ! Hubert

There are better alternatives than Vector, now. And, even though it’s not needed for most yellow winged aircrafts, don’t go buying their R-1820, or Shvestov M-62. Because they could not understand the oil sump shape, they managed to distribute the 9 cylinders unevenly. On a radial 9 cylinders, the angle between each is 360/9 = 40 degrees, not 37 or 43 🤬 ! One interesting link for 1/32 engines. https://fpwmodelshop.pl/en_US/c/132-scale/51 As for Lone Stars, is he still in business ? Hubert

I really dig this Spit, Rod ! Hubert

I read somewhere that close to 30% od the mail orders were either "lost" (which means genuinely lost, stolen, or just not delivered for various reasons) in the logistics chain or returned, in which case they are are most often not opened but sent to the same guys who collect the "lost" parcels. Some guys have created a business buying by weight the "lost" parcels and reselling them unopened to people (they make a bet about the content) who then open the parcels and put the items on sale. and they all make a lot of money. I also heard that last year the parcels arriving in Europe from China, to individuals, were numbering to 800 millions ... Losing one's coveted item ordered abroad sucks, but it seems more than usual ... Hubert

I agree that Honda’s motto has always been that the engine was at the heart of any car - or motorcycle for that matter - and should deserve their core attention … A pity they have not invested as many efforts in the design of the outer body of their cars in the last 20 years : their designs have been pretty lame and uninteresting in this time period … Hubert

I replied already on LSP, but that is a fantastic piece of news ! I’m in ! (and in NMF, of course ) Hubert

6 cylinders for 250 cc … They DO love designing engines at Honda 🥰 … Nice wok, Rob Hubert

Well, when I thought my year was made with the Lukgraph J2F-5 and the release of the Draken by Jetmads, it seems there will be more to the attack on my wallet … Technikit have announced they will release a 3D-printed 1/32 Mirage IV ! https://www.tecnikit.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=page&id=31&language=en Hubert

If this is what your religion calls « a couple » … Well, as long as Sue agrees …🥴 Hubert

Assuming it’ s empty to begin with 🤔 … 5 minutes ? Hubert

Now, who is going to model the Border 1/32 Lancaster with engine visible and the flowery apron to cover it ? Hubert

Now, THAT looked like a verious serious emergency 😉 ! Hubert

😮 Hubert
