CANicoll Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Hold the presses!! I was emptying out the box and THIS appeared in the bottom of the box, under all the wrapping paper. Bonus!! (But wow, I was going to toss the box but decided to keep it to pack away holiday decorations. Whew!!) Even comes with insignia masks and a clear sheet (which will someone please tell me what that is for?) I'm already thinking of Baby Blitz II.... Christmas just keeps getting better and better!! 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Any scale , any type as long as it has two engines, Do335, MiMil-08/17, Apache, grey things like F-15 everyone has one, or even Su-33/35. Auxiliary engines don't count . 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterpools Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 My bad, I thought is was a done deal. There was a thread a number a months ago about this year's GB but it just faded away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trim the clear film, place over stencils to hold them in correct position when removing from backing paper and apply to model. Carefully peel off transfer film leaving stencil in place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool, I've bought some of his canopies (Revell P-51D) as his clear resin is amazing. He's a good guy, too. Met him at Telford. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, idea. I recently purchased a Panzer 38 in 1/16 scale. I already built one in 1/35.......Tamiya has one in in 1/48. If I can find ones in smaller scales......well, a sort of Panzer '38 Russian doll sort of thing......Is this weird?.....

HubertB Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 A book … And what a book ! This is the last « in Action » book, on the TBD Devastator, by Dana Bell. wow ! Needless to say it supersedes, and by far, the previous « in Action » book on the same subject. I have a significant library on the TBD, plus a huge compilation of pictures I gathered on the net, but this one still manages to add pictures I had never seen hitherto, nor even, to my despair, found … Add to that the infinitely knowledgeable comments by Dana Bell, and you have an absolute « must have » book, at least if you have even a passing interest on the TBD.

ScottsGT Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Hubert, I picked that book up as well. Dana did an amazing job on it. I got my copy directly from him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vandy1 VX-4 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 going to convert it into a GR 1 and do Darhan Annie 1991 Desert storm now I gotta figure out what kind of bomb’s to use or the anti-runway munition!!!! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottsGT Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 This one showed up in the mail yesterday. Picked it up off LSP classifieds. I have the old Revell Stuka but always wanted the “tank buster” with the underwing cannons. Today I got my Hobby Zone building jig from Super Hobby in Poland. With the biplanes in the stash this should make things easier. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belugawhaleman Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Just arrived....Got it from Burbank's house of Hobbies. From Tamiya it's their Mitsubishi A6M2b Zero Fighter Model 21 (Zeke) In 1/32 (60317). I've been wanting this kit for some time. It looks nice... I has lots of detail and many features (gimicks?) Like working flight controls, functional landing gear that fold and are sprung, photo-etch, and etc. I've been looking at the instructions that I downloaded from Scalemates for some time...it looks like a straightforward build. Going back to my roots here....I built a collection of Japanese aircraft in the 80s. They were mostly 1/48 offerings from Tamiya, Otaki, Hasegawa, and Nichimo. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottsGT Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Postman dropped this off today. It popped up on LSP last week and I jumped on it. Yea, I think I paid about $10-$15 too much, but Rhino is long gone. So pay the price! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
