LSM Modelling News 2023 merged Fran and Artful69βs threads
HubertB replied to Fran's topic in Modelling Discussion
To be fair, you've got very valid points here, Martin (although I suspect you forgot some Trumpeter kits in your list, I wonder why π€£ ?). But, to me, the news is still boring and disapointing. This said, as I undertand the man backing the capital of Kotare is an ex-dentist - I can't remember where I read this -, I suppose he wants a retunr on investment on what is still a passion endeavour. Going the safe way for sales is logical, even if, as a modeller, I would wish a more adventurous choice - but I have never invested as much as he has in a modelling industry project ... Hubert -

So tell us, Martin : what do you REALLY think about this new Kotare release π ? Me, I am in the π₯± group (but then I was also with the Spifire, so my opinion is worth about ) Hubert -
TBD-1 Devastator VT-3 Midway
HubertB replied to Rod Bettencourt's topic in LSM 1/32 and Larger Aircraft Ready for Inspection
First completed Trumpeter Devastator I see. And rhe result is top notch π ! Mine will be yellow-winged, but iβd be happy if it turned half as good. Hubert -
Because you have no direct visual comparison or clue. As I have said many times, a 1/35 kit is roughly 9% smaller in any dimension than the same in 1/32. That means 84 % of the shelf area, and 76 % of the volume. As I usually, like anyone else, perceive the world in 3D, that is a big difference, for me at leastβ¦ ( but then it may be one of those macho things about Β« size matters Β» π) Hubert

Nice build Ernie π ! Hubert -
My kit is 32014, the B/D version. I found the box, and it has the pods you are looking for. I suppose you need just the pod parts, not the guns ? They are yours, dear sir. Just PM me your address. Hubert

ZM Hs129B2/R2
HubertB replied to JeroenPeters's topic in LSM 1/32 and Larger Aircraft Ready for Inspection
It was a pleasure watching you tackle this one, Jeroen, and the result speaks for itself π ! Hubert -
Is it a -C or -D kit ? I know for sure I wonβt be using any gun pod on mine. The questions then are : 1) Do I have the right kit for you ? 2) where did I put the box ? Just trying to manage your expectations, but if I can help you, I will β¦ Hubert

1/25 Revell Kenworth K100 with 300" W.B.
HubertB replied to CrankyCrafstman's topic in LSM 1/35 and Larger Work In Progress
Interesting work, Ron. I have a neophyte question : why would one want to lengthen the wheelbase on a truck aimed at hauling a trailer ? That must make the handling pretty tough on some bends and corners. Hubert -

I so regretted selling mine a few years ago, that I ordered one as soon as the re-release was announced. Still in preparation, though ... Hubert -
Wishing all of LSM a VERY Happy Nee Year!!!

All Ikea products are getting lower in quality. Another best-seller is the Billy bookshelf. You would imagine a shelf of a bookshelf would be designed to withstand the weight of books β¦ It used to be, but the new ones just take a few weeks to bow under the weight β¦ And, btw, as a former marketeer, my #1 preoccupation was always product quality, to answer consumersβ and customersβ needsβ¦ If you want to blame someone, go looking for the Β« gurus Β» of the Β« financial economy Β», and the traders operating on the stock-exchange to get their next Rolex, or Porsche β¦ Hubert -
Great TBM, ans so much more interesting than a GSB bomber or torpedo aircraft π ! Well done, Jeff ! Hubert

This is going to be my contribution to the raffle: Eduard's Profipack Bf-108 with a few additional goodies like mask, wheels, PE-details, resin prop, etc. If it's acceptable for Ernie, I also have a number of books, basically duplicate buys, I can add to the raffle. But I know Ernie is wary of this kind of gift which has turned out to be more than often "lemons" from the givers... Hubert
