    Rob, the engine looks great. Nice job on masking the cylinder heads.

    Me too! Currently there is the Doyusha Stratos in 1/12. I've got one and it's very much a product of the '70s but is reasonably decent. Italeri have announced a new 1/12 kit for sometime this year. How much an improvement it will be over the Doyusha one we will have to wait and see.

    Just a quick update on the Wheels and Wings kits. They've started listing them on their website. Prices on more recent plastic kits is okay but older kits and resin ones are looking to be good deals. Just missed out on an Iconicair Spiteful that sold for $25 USD but did manage to grab the Eduard re-box of the Hasegawa P-40N for $100 USD. Still waiting on what the Fisher ones will cost.

    First I need to see what price the shop is willing to sell them for. If it's out of my budget, this is all moot. The thread Scott mentioned is worth the read. Not only does Paul reply but so does Alistair who runs Aerocraft and has a lot of experience in resin casting as well. Both point out the inherent shortcomings and hurdles that would need to be solved. Then of course there's the issue of taking someone else's work and basically ripping it off unless some agreement is arranged beforehand. Lastly, scanning and moulding is way above my knowledge base.

    More progress on the Tomcat. I finished the seam work and touched up the paint. I then finished painting the antiglare panel around the cockpit and the tips of the vertical tails base I then added the Pheonix pallets. Landing gear was next. Finally I did the detail painting and decal work on the missiles. I used Aim-7s and AIM-9s from a Tamiya F-4 kit. The Aim-54A Pheonix missiles are by Eduard.

    Baby Boot looks awesome. Can't wait to see what you can do with big brother.

    Looks good there Kevin. I need to do a Mossie with invasion stripes one day.

    Not me either.

    Fun in the mountains!

    If that is anything like their armour kits, it's going to be a great model.

    Here's what I have. I also have an F-8C that's started.
  12. BlrwestSiR
    I would be up for that.

    Same here. 3 full kits in the stash and a pair of conversions.

    According to their Facebook page, they've been open for 37 years. They used to be in a different location and moved about a decade ago to their current spot. That's where I found them and have been going since.

    I used Tamiya lacquer gloss black with a brush and put it on wet. Out of the bottle, it was thing enough and just flowed into the details.

    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.
  21. BlrwestSiR
    The Fisher kits that is. Not the whole collection.
  22. 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.
  23. BlrwestSiR
    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.
  25. BlrwestSiR
    Anyone interested? The small box on top is an Meteor F8 conversion. No idea on pricing yet but I'll know soon enough.
