GazzaS Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 Hi guys, My stash could keep me busy for a few years. I really don't have any idea what I should tell my missus what I want for Christmas (asking for a wild 1/1 scale 18-year-old is out of the question, unfortunately). What's new and cool (and in production) out there in IM kits. Gaz 7
harv Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 HEHE. Have no idea. My stash is most likely like yours. Have enough for years. One kit I would like is HPH MUG15, but thats just a dream.....Harv 5
Bomber_County Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 Not sure yet but SWMBO has told me to go and get all my own Christmas presents at Telford..........to be then delivered at the bewitching hour........ 4
Sir Desmond Glazebrook Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 There are a number of kits I would like, but as I said elsewhere I am running out of space. I do hope to complete kits I failed in the past. The builds at which I failed to complete include the George in honour of Harv, a J2M (I ordered a replacement 1/32 J2M2 last night from Japan, several 109's a Tojo and a Tony. Also my 1/2 finished Spitfire XVI. All will come right. 3
harv Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 Build on dude( yes, I want to see the George finished !) ......Harv 4
TJTX Posted October 26, 2018 Posted October 26, 2018 An HPH L-39 would be awesome, but I'll have to see how much money Santa has. 1
[CAT]CplSlade Posted October 26, 2018 Posted October 26, 2018 Well, I need about 40 pieces of German armor to have every vehicle listed in the Encyclopedia of German Armor of WWII, but several of them haven't been kitted yet. And there are several LSPs that have been recently announced I have my eyes on, including two that are causing a lot of tension on 'another' board. 4
Members Mikester Posted October 26, 2018 Members Posted October 26, 2018 Maybe the HK Do 335B-6 if it ever shows up in a store. harder and Steenbeck airbrush is #1 on my wish list though. 3

Martinnfb Posted October 27, 2018 Posted October 27, 2018 He he, not exactly, it is a compressor for my car. 4

Administrators Clunkmeister Posted October 27, 2018 Administrators Posted October 27, 2018 That’s a serious pump, Martin. You better have a decent set of vented Brembos to haul that rocketing mess down when your done playing. Or a drag chute. 5
Peterpools Posted October 27, 2018 Posted October 27, 2018 OMG, I don't start hinting until after Thanksgiving. Peter 4
Bomber_County Posted October 27, 2018 Posted October 27, 2018 Not many of us get that so the sooner the better 2

There's only a few kits left that I really want. So I have to give the missus time for mail order. Gaz 2

My local HobbyTownUSA has been gradually shrinking its armor section and there are maybe a handful of LSPs. The freakin' giant robot section is growing for some reason. They claim their distributors just can't get them in, although noone else seems to be having that problem. I know mail-order/ebay hurts them, but not having kits in stock doesn't help either. 2
harv Posted October 27, 2018 Posted October 27, 2018 In Springfield near me, there is a Hobby Town that has lots of armor. If he doesn't have it he can order it. If there is something you really want, let me know and next trip there I can check.....Harv 3

My Brother-in-Law models and does mainly Macross / Gundam / Evangellion, the recent explosion in Pop Culture has made it a legitimate pastime along with the current Superhero craze. Hoping for some kind of Axis twin ( ZM Nick, Fly Ar234, HPH Fw189) but 2 months is a long time to hold one's breath. 2

I'd almost agree with that except the Macross/Gundam stuff is growing, but all the other SF stuff is not. They don't even carry a good selection of the Star Wars kits, let alone any of the other big properties. Heck, my local Hobby Lobby carries more Star Wars. 1
GazzaS Posted October 28, 2018 Author Posted October 28, 2018 According to my LHS, cars are the best seller, now. There are three Trumpy MiG 23 kits left. I think my Christmas voucher (if I get one) is going to one of them. The only new armor I've seen recently is WoT stuff. Gaz 1
Peterpools Posted October 30, 2018 Posted October 30, 2018 Gaz You got me thinking and pondering - then Ernie’s gentle seed of inspiration. I’m starting to think: RESIN - OMG ... control, control. Peter 1
Bill_S Posted October 31, 2018 Posted October 31, 2018 Only one on my list: Z-M Ki-45. I'm hoping or a B-24 Ploesti raider for Christmas next year! 4
