It has markings for Billy Bishops ride in there which I will definately do! I’ll also be doing Billy Bishop’s ride. A true Canadian hero. 4

Took forever for them to finally get a proper memorial too. 2
HubertB Posted December 23, 2020 Posted December 23, 2020 Agree on the box art. I remember my teenage days, when the box art alone could make me want to buy a kit ... Hubert 4

Hubert I remember those days to, we didn’t have in depth reviews or WIP to inform the purchase as you said the box art and what you knew about the subject.... 3
BlrwestSiR Posted December 23, 2020 Posted December 23, 2020 +3 on the boxart! I used to cut out nice box art and out it up in my room as a kid. I really liked the Hasegawa ones done by Shigeo Koike. I still remember coming across their '73 Trans Am. Looked absolutely stunning. Then I saw the small plastic by Monogram label. Nearly bought it just for the box art. 3
Bomber_County Posted December 27, 2020 Posted December 27, 2020 Just one kit for Christmas, my first German bomber for probably 50 years and first in 48th.......... 8
1to1scale Posted December 27, 2020 Posted December 27, 2020 My Christmas gift to myself, I bought 7 busts from FER to practice painting on. 6
BlrwestSiR Posted December 27, 2020 Posted December 27, 2020 Got some cash from family so I have ordered some 3D printed accessories for my 1/2700 Star Destroyer. Now just to wait for them to arrive. Carl 3

That is a great kit, the only reason I didn’t buy it was that I have a Deagostini Studio Scale Millennium Falcon in my stash. Be very careful with weathering and paint, these do not like enamel and oil washes or paints, a friend of mine found large cracks in his after he used a wash. 5

I missed out on a Deagostini Falcon that went for $500. Have you picked up any of the upgrades for that beast? As for the Bandai plastic not reacting well, the big one I've heard is not to let any of the turpentine or enamel thinner pool on the model when doing washes especially on bare plastic. Lacquer paints (Mr Color, Tamiya) are okay. I've built a number of their Star Wars kits and haven't had any adverse affects and used Gunze's panel wash on it. Here's my 1/144 Falcon This is their 1/350 Falcon getting attacked by a giant space cat, my first try at a Bandai Falcon. 6 5

Yes, I have been collecting stuff for a few years, I can’t even remember what I bought, but I’m probably going to order more from the above company, I like their engine light kit as well as their cockpit with figures. 4
smitty44 Posted December 28, 2020 Posted December 28, 2020 Thanks for the intel. Strictly MRP here with acrylic washes 11
