[CAT]CplSlade Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 No pic of the actual thing as I can't have it until Father's Day, but I somehow managed to talk my wife into letting me use a HobbyTown coupon on the Bandai Star Wars 1/72 B-Wing fighter SDCC release with the included engine lighting. Now I can cheat and use that as my entry in the Bandai Star Wars campaign at Armorama instead of the Y-Wing with the AM lighting kit that requires drilling and soldering and thus more time. I have three other builds to complete at the same time, so yeah, I'm going snap-together on this one. If only it was bright orange plastic like those Monogram Funny Cars. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that was lost Wow! I thought it was long gone too. Well, I'm definitely going to build it after a story like that. Edit: I forgot to say I actually checked the postmark date to see if it had been lost at the post office the whole time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it was sitting in a pile of boxes in a parts storeroom at the shop. We had signs of rodents so I had my guys pull the entire room apart. I turned it into a parts inventory moment, and the next morning, guess what got found? It sat in a non air conditioned area for a couple years or so, so the first thing I did was open it up and check for warps. So Carl, you have Mickey’s cousin to thank for that. I’m just relieved it was found. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Clunkmeister Posted June 12, 2019 Administrators Share Posted June 12, 2019 Carl, I had a quick look at it when I replaced the chewed up shipping box and I didn't see any obvious signs of warps or heat damage. Please have a very close look at all the parts and let me know if there are any issues. Struts, prop, decals, or what have you. It sat through two Texas summers in a non air conditioned building..... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ernie I went thru the box when it first came in to see what I was getting into. I mean resin, biplane and rigging oh my! At the time nothing stuck out as being out of shape. Just in case I checked again after your post and everything seems to be fine. Here's the wings The fuselage: The smaller bits are ok too. Maybe Silver Wings uses Texas proof resin? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One was an ultra rare P-47 Razorback. Yes, I was seriously pissed. But let me know if there are any issues and I’ll get ahold of them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
