Jamme Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 Hi everybody. Just find a kit a searched for a long time........... It's the "light and sound" one. I'm Happy! Cheers, Jamme 1
PAnderson Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 Hi everybody. Just find a kit a searched for a long time........... It's the "light and sound" one. I'm Happy! Cheers, Jamme Sweet Jamme, I almost bought that. I was worried about the quality. Is it the same as their other kits? Paul
Jamme Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 Hi Paul. The kit itself is the same quality as the other Zero's (it's Tamiya) The amazing stuff are the lights (position ones are blinking (if I remember), you got the lights on the dashboard AND you got the engine sound (start, full trottle and stopping) That's a really great kit. It's not cheap, I payed 200€ for it, but it's really nice with the gimmicks . Cheers, Jamme
Dave J Posted September 24, 2013 Author Posted September 24, 2013 Very nice Jamme! I am looking for the same kit.. but I going to go with the standard version... But I will be keen to see you build this up, hopefully soon! 1
Dave J Posted September 24, 2013 Author Posted September 24, 2013 Some Rhino Seamless intakes have arrived for my Superbug... Just need to get the Etch, Burner Cans and Decals... And some 1/16 German Clamps and Clasp I got for $4 for the Big Tiger that I have
Jamme Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 Very nice Jamme! I am looking for the same kit.. but I going to go with the standard version... But I will be keen to see you build this up, hopefully soon! I think I will build it for the Pacific War GB, instead of the Wildcat. Shall see. Cheers, Jamme 1

nmayhew Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 ouch! actually i think you are safe Matt a massive re-tooling is needed to produce the wing for this Mustang, let alone the spine of the fuselage. i reckon we could wait years...but you may have speeded up the process just that little bit! 1
Artful69 Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 ... I reckon we could wait years...but you may have speeded up the process just that little bit! ... Ahhh British Humour ... So Matt has "the Golden Touch" (or Golden Wallet) does he? ... Isn't there someone over on LSP who does that with Vac Form kits? Rog
Dave J Posted September 30, 2013 Author Posted September 30, 2013 Decals for the Superbug arrived today... Just waiting for the interior and exterior etch to arrive via ebay and the resin cans are on backorder

Artful69 Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 Ok ... so let the photo's begin for "Birthday splurge Pt.2" ... Of all of these, what really amazed me ... was the ZM kit ... the w-o-w! factor is beyond description

Jamme Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 Congrats, Dave. Beautiful kit from what I've seen on the report. Cheers, Jamme
Grant Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 This Arrived today - a gift from a good friend, Mark Adams, who went to Reno and met with Bud Anderson of "Old Crow" P-51D fame, this kind, elderly gentleman graciously signed a copy of his Memoirs personalised to me (the spelling was a bit hit and miss but with my surname, I'm used to that!). It's a super book and complements my copy of Janes' P-51D illustrated guide which features Buds "Old Crow" Nose Art on the front cover - it will sit nicely on my bookshelf in pride of place. I'm extremely happy to have this generous present to read and absorb! 2
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted October 3, 2013 Administrators Posted October 3, 2013 Thats cool Grant! 1
Grant Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Thanks Dave & Jeroen, indeed - I'm very lucky in both senses. A friend who thought of me when the opportunity arose and the book itself. I reckon Bud Anderson's Mustang nose art must be the most famous, or close to it, of all 'Stangs. His later career in the USAAF was equally impressive.
PAnderson Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Very nice Grant. I'm sure you will cherish that every time you open it. Paul
Artful69 Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 ... A couple of late arrivals of 'Pt.2' ... Rog 1
Grant Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Very nice Grant. I'm sure you will cherish that every time you open it. Paul Thank you Paul, I certainly will.

That was "Pt.2" ... Pt.3 is on the way ... from USA, Japan, New Zealand and Australia over the next two weeks - stay tuned!! Rog
Dave J Posted October 5, 2013 Author Posted October 5, 2013 Hahaha awesome you got the SBD! Really looking forward to you hitting that one! 1
