Bomber_County Posted February 12, 2019 Posted February 12, 2019 Love to see a build log on this beauty....... 1
Guest DannyVM Posted February 13, 2019 Posted February 13, 2019 Just delivered at my doorstep, with a big thank's to AK Interactive for their very fast and splendid service, and the nice attention they included in the package. Also Rob, thank you mate to point it out to me. Time to dig out this lecture.
Martinnfb Posted February 15, 2019 Posted February 15, 2019 Model Master has a set of it's metalizer lacquer colours . I use to use them long time ago and for some reason I came to conclusion that they were discontinued . Nevertheless I am glad to get them. 2
Ryan Posted February 15, 2019 Posted February 15, 2019 Martin, I love metalizer paints, but ugh the masking properties is terrible. It's interesting these can be brushed on..... Ryan 3
Martinnfb Posted February 15, 2019 Posted February 15, 2019 I was surprise about that as well. From my previous experience only dry-brusing worked. 2

Martinnfb Posted February 15, 2019 Posted February 15, 2019 PM hobby craft . The store is spacious and they have popcorn. That keeps my daughter occupied for a bit so I have extra time to drool . 3

The guys at PM are great, they sure know their product, and the owner is a real "Drone" guy, man he is on those things....I like their selection, and last year when I heard MM was shutting down some paints, I spent over 400 bucks there on the Model Master paints.....Larry at Model Land has a great selection as well, lots of cars.... and major goodies down stairs.......hard to go near there and not spend big bucks....!! You are so lucky to have a couple real hobby shops....... 3
harv Posted February 19, 2019 Posted February 19, 2019 Oh happy day ! Just got a big box from Sprue Bro. Man, am I thrilled !.......harv 6
Wumm Posted February 19, 2019 Posted February 19, 2019 "Hey, don't you already have one of those?"... Is what my Wife would ask me. Suggestions and justifications on a 6x4 postcard or in the space provided below please. 3
HubertB Posted February 21, 2019 Posted February 21, 2019 1500 Kms from home right now ... But, in case you did not know it had been released, my wife told me I just received the Roden Cessna L-19 with floats . And there are some cool civilian versions fo this one (not in the box, but that's what a Silhouette is for )... I love civvies and floatplanes / flying boats, in case you did not know yet ... And a pic ... I’ll try to find the time for a review. A (small) disapointment is that the floats (apparently base on an EDO model) are for an amphibious version, with the landing gear displayed. The LG hole will need to be filled for a pure floats version. Plus some Albion Alloys tubes, square and round, and their « Connecto » system. I hope I read their code system right, and the connectors will fit the tubes. Hubert 4
Bomber_County Posted February 21, 2019 Posted February 21, 2019 Nice haul Harv, no excuse for having to work on the kitchen now........... 1

Float planes are magical, and they leave NO trace of their presence once they take off........ they don't leave any mark on the earth........ 2
Jeff Posted February 23, 2019 Posted February 23, 2019 Maybe I am getting 'off topic' here, should we start a "Float plane" thread for vids and info?? I love them and wonder how many of you other guys do too..... the more info out there the better?? Maybe I should think of that rather than guck up this thread?/ Thoughts?? 4
HubertB Posted February 23, 2019 Posted February 23, 2019 I need to do a proper count, but I would think that probably 50% of my 1/32 stash is made of floatplanes or flying boats ... So it’s more than a keen interest. Maybe it’s my way of merging my interest in ship models and my interest in aircrafts ... If I can contribute a SIG thread, I’m game for it ... Hubert 2
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted February 27, 2019 Administrators Posted February 27, 2019 Hmmmmm. More work ahead. A box from SprueBrothers snuck into my office 5
Ryan Posted February 27, 2019 Posted February 27, 2019 Great haul Clunk, I have all of those too. Ryan 4
