Winnie Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 The Sikorsky also has the short sponson on the H-3 A through D and G models. Of more notes, the AC generator bulge on the doghouse, the Tail Boom Strake, the vents in the engine doors, the vent behind the cockpit, and the behind the cargo door fuel option. The 6 blade tail rotor was thought to make i more efficient, but did little more than add weight, but the strake! It really helped! I love the Sea King! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Rob I've got the Tamiya one as well. I'll be using the paint guide from that kit for this one as Takom doesn't include any paint references. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got their Tiger and we're giving the Sherman to our oldest for Christmas. @CrankyCrafstman Ron has been doing a great job on his Tiger and a few other members have started some 1/16 builds lately. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would absolutely love a hybrid Firefly though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottsGT Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Another successful roll of the dice! Of course this one took some logistical luck, timing and help from a friend. I think it was Martin that had one posted a couple weeks back? By the time I decided I wanted it, poof! Ad was gone so I assumed sold. I turned to eBay. Seller from Japan, $85 shipped! Timing was perfect. Was supposed to arrive on a Friday when the wife was working. Oops! Sat in customs in Japan 5 days. Fortunately we had an out of town trip when it showed up so I had my buddy drive over and porch pirated it and hid it in my truck! LOL! But wait! There’s more! Another post to follow up shortly. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supposedly it's not bad. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottsGT Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 As promised, my other goodies that showed up. 1st is something I’ve seen online, but never could find it in stock here in the USA. Tamiya Decal Adhesives. Bought both, one with softener added, from Super Hobby in Poland. The last is the Laminar Flow Design Griffon conversion. I’m going to use this with my Tamiya Mk. VIII kit I got back during the Tamiya USA sale they had. And I almost forgot! These came the other day to go with it. Merry Christmas to me! 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Nice bunch of purchases. The LFD conversion is really nice. I need to grab the decal sheet myself. I have a bunch of the PCM XIV highbacks in the stash I could use it for. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocRob Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Some more car kits from Japan: Ebbro´s Lotus Type 49c, a nice 1/20 kit and as a highlight has tyres with printed pinstripe and Firestone logo included. Looks a lot like a Tamiya kit. I added MFH aluminum funnels and MFH meshes for the funnels. These will be very prominent on the finished model. I couldn´t resist the Tamiya Mercedes 300 SL, which will be build oob or maybe heavily pimped. Cheers Rob 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Rob Nice purchases. Looking forward to seeing both being built, especially the Lotus. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 That Mercedes is supposed to be a very nice kit. They did a great job capturing the details of the frame. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SL 300 will be build more or less oob or using the Fat Boy conversion from MGSF, which looks loke this: Cheers Rob 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
