    Thankfully all I needed was snip off a moulded on wire/cable/hose on the one seat and the RIO ended up fitting. The pilot seat is on the left and you can see where I cut off the offending bit on the right seat. Speaking of the crew, I did some paintwork on them. Mostly just their visors and the backs of their necks.

    Phil, that's a great looking cockpit and nose gun bay.

    Finally something that we gave the rest of the world so they'd forget about us inflicting Justin Bieber on them.

    The shop is Wheels and Wings in Toronto. wheelswingshobbies.com They are going to post everything on their site for sale but it may take some time. When I took the pics yesterday, they were still in the midst of sorting through the kits. The staff siad it'll go up a bit at a time and to keep checking in. There are quite a few LEM kits in the stash along with a couple HpH kits too. There's some Rutman stuff too. It's really quite a mix.

    I haven't heard of SX-Art but Art Scale is doing a set of masks for the kit. Also, HGW is coming out with a set of belts for it as well. Hannants has both list as coming soon.

    The Fisher kits that is. Not the whole collection.
  7. BlrwestSiR
    It is indeed. The shop is going to call me first with a total price and then I'll see if I take them.

    One more:

    Here's the rest of the collection that came in. Turns out its not the 10,000 kit one but another that they picked up.

    Anyone interested? The small box on top is an Meteor F8 conversion. No idea on pricing yet but I'll know soon enough.

    Looks good Scott.

    Peter, it turns out the fix for the rear seat was real quick. The resin seat had a moulded on hose on the back cushion. As soon as I clipped it off, the RIO fit correctly.

    Not me. But I haven't seen everything that they're unloading yet.

    My LHS just posted this pic of a U-Haul they're unloading. It's all 1/32 kits from I believe the 10,000 kit collection they bought a couple years ago.

    Looks like the decal dept scaled up a 1/350 sheet. Or maybe 1/700.

    I think it scares a lot of folks. Completely out in the open and no hiding any mis,-steps.

    Is it cracked? Or just a paint run? If it's only the paint, you can try using Tamiya lacquer thinner to remove it. Strip it back and then give it a polish with rubbing compound to remove the last of the residue and it should be good as new. I've done this a few times on canopy parts without any issues. But maybe test the plastic just in case.

    Well, @DocRob's Arado 234 build made me want to do another one so I started looking around. Seems the Fly kit is quite a bit more than it was previously, almost double in fact what I paid for my first one. Then I found this one for sale for less than the original Fly kit. Sold!

    Scott, if you get the chance check out the credits for the movie. There's more inflight footage as well as cat shots of various planes. The planes are fairly clean throughout the film with a bit of grime along the bellies. I'll be leaving mine mostly clean.

    Neat! We're close enough to CWHM that they'll fly over the city in the summer. Nothing quite like 4 Merlins in close formation.
  21. BlrwestSiR
    Fran, Eli said Sprue Brothers will carry them as well.

    Look what's just been announced: Pic of the mock up.

    Just saw this. Fantastic model Jarrod! I was really impressed by the wood effect on the tools. Keep it up and can't wait to see your next build. Carl

    The forward fuselage is together. This time it was much easier without needing to worry about the NLG bay. The pilot is sitting on the Teknics seat I did earlier. His hands are on the throttle and stick with only a slight tweak to the stick angle. The RIO is on the kit seat. He fit better on that than the Teknics one so I'll have to figure out whether to tweak the fit of the Teknics seat or have both of them on the kit ones.
