Wumm Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 It was just on here in Au last night. Also, the 1943 Bogart Sahara was on one of the channels last Saturday afternoon. Then if you consider, Dan Akroyd's tank in 1941 was nicknamed "Lulubelle", and Jim Belushi was in the 1995 Sahara re-make... PS Carl...

Definitely Belushi as the figures are based on the later film version. I also have the Miniart US Tank Crew set and will use figures from there, instead of that one.

BlrwestSiR Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 With the news that Kitty Hawk was winding down, I decided to get off the fence and pick up an HH-60 kit. I ordered it from China on the third and it arrived today. Looks to be a nice kit and it'll go nicely with my Little Bird. Carl 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artful69 Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 So ... I finished my first 2 weeks away at work ... It was night shift ... got back a week ago tomorrow and started organising the house and budget ... didn't get any time in for model work ... but I did go to the post office to collect a package that arrived ... The first kit is a Dragon double ... What I really wanted was the one with the FlaK 88mm ... but this one will do until I can locate the one I'm after ... The next couple are the first 2 kits of the Border Model "Early" type Tiger 1 ... I've seen mixed reviews and viewpoints on this ... With it's simplified assembly layout, yet crisp detail, it seems to be the pick of those available - especially for the Citadel Dio ... I'm hoping that when I arrive home in 2 weeks from this next swing I can get cracking on my WIP ... Until then ... Rog 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlrwestSiR Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 I ordered some Reskit burner cans from Hannant's and those arrived today. The F-5 ones are absolutely tiny compared to the Super Hornet ones much less those for the Mig-29. I also had a small order HLJ arrive at the same time. An F-16 Night Falcon This goes with that F-15J Kai I got earlier. Both are from Patlabor. I also got the ADFX from Ace Combat. It seems I'm slowly building a collection of 1/144 fictional aircraft. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Particularly on the turret halves around the trunnions and escape hatch. There have been reports on facebook about bad workmanship. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Gaz … I’m a few hundred kilometres away from the kits now … but I guess I’ll find out about any issues when I start building them … it’s still looking to be a much easier task than building the dragon kit!!
