Poland bought the block 52 C/D model with the conformal fuel tanks. http://www.f-16.net/f-16_users_article15.html If you're building one from the Tamiya kit, you can use the C/J version but need the narrow NSI intake and P&W burner can. GT resin makes both. You'll also need a extended parapack tail. PWMP makes one or see if someone building an Academy F-16 has a spare. The dark grey bit is the PWMP parapack. The Academy kit has both intakes and the parapack tail but there are supposedly shape issues with the intake. Zacto models does a replacement intake for it. Model Maker makes masks and decal for Polish Vipers. I've used one of their sets on my stalled F-16 build and they worked well. Carl

Yup, 15,000 kits. My LHS bought a 10,000 kits collection a couple years. They've only had the chance to get it out of the seller's house and into storage. I'm still waiting for them to start cataloguing it and getting it into the store.

In a good way I hope. Or are you finding stuff your twin bought?

I wonder if Ernie's looks like this guy's stash. Fast forward to around the 1:00 mark to see it.

Is it possible the kits are reproducing in your absence? I mean, you bought the two seater and now you've got a single seater as well... Not a bad thing necessarily. As for kits that you don't recall buying, I'm that way with AM bits. Which means you end up with AM for a kit you don't own. Carl

Indeed. Really impressive. Carl

Got a bit more done on the Dino engine.

Ernie, just because you have a lot of Wingnut kits doesn't make it gluttony. Not to mention your generosity to others I'd say certainly outweighs any negatives, biblical or otherwise. Carl

Like Gazzas said, looks really impressive. Carl

At least we got the pretty end of the Spitfire.

One of the worst has to be the '70s version of Midway where they take off in one type of plane and land in another. Of course the best is Charlton Heston's character crash landing in a Panther. That always got me. Carl

There's someone selling a 16ft (yup, feet) refit Enterprise for $2200 CAD. Lights up and every thing. Carl

Just finished Ready Player Two. Wasn't as good as the first book.

Here's Zoe Well, can't leave the cats out can we? So here's Fursnake... ...and this is Sunny

Football, the American kind. Which is different from the European one and even from the Canadian version.

You probably won't like the price even if it's in Loonies: https://www.greathobbies.com/productinfo/?prod_id=RVG3875 As for the P-51B, the Trumpeter kit has a lot of shape issues, mostly around the nose and canopy. Jerry Rutman did some correction sets for it but they're OOP. None fixed the canopy though. I've seen some folks graft the Hasegawa nose onto the Revell kit. Martin on here did that but I don't know if her ever finished. Carl

Hemi orange. Well, it's a start anyways.

The darker base looks better to me as well. I like the woodgrain in it more. Carl

Great job John! I hear you on the challenges of putting one together. Had some of my own doing on my build. So what's next in the queue? Carl

Looks about as big as their Ho229 box?

The one thing I really don't like about the Trumpeter kit is the way the cockpit is installed. They use huge tabs on either side that plug into the fuselage. The plugs are very noticeable in the MLG bays. Another point of contention is the gun bay doors are designed to be mounted in the open position. Closing them up means a bit of shimming is needed. Carl

Take my money!!!

Nice looking decals. I've only got a single Fokker and it's not the right one either. Carl

The Stratos came with red wheels. So those are painted now. A quick mockup. I may use a different rim and tire. We'll see.

Very colourful there Tony. And nicely done too. Carl
