Happy Birthday Anze!!!

An F-16 for the 17th birthday is one too less, you should have bought an F-17 --- and I guess you are too young for Mid Life Upgrade

BTW is this the Kinetic kit or an ESCI (or other older) tool?

all the best

Hi Justin

got mine today ... 20 Euro at the Luckymodel sale was just too good and imagine the decals are NOT yellowed --> wahooo so I do not need replacements .. just a cockpit, nozzles, Wolfpack flaps set and maybe Brassin wheels ... and of course a job to finance that stuff

Despite the rapid fall of the euro this got past customs (I feared otherwise)

cheers

Hi Justin
I must admit I am tempted to acquire 'show time' myself. Of all the F4 markings, I think that particular one is my favorite. I realy like the bird of prey on the tail and there is no bright colours.

Speaking of markings I got Mal's Miracle Masks for my BOAC Sunderland. They look very neat, looking forward to using them. If only I could shift this head cold and the plumbing in the house would stop exploding. Major bummer working in a turkish bath!

Also arrived 10x0.3mm and 10x0.2mm drills.

Well, I do not want to include that much after market stuff, but as the kit was "cheap" and the Flap Set was in stock I ordered it today from Lucky. Then I try to get the DMold intake set ... I just cannot cope with that multipart intakes .. it always looks crappy in my attempts. Plus the Aires cockpit and if there are Nozzles I will get them too ...so you are right it sums up pretty fast ... oh boy

anyway, you are right: Happy Modelling! to everyone

cheers

Steffen
P.S. The boxart of "Show Time 100" is pretty cool maybe I'll frame it

I hear you there my wallet was crying after installing the Aires cockpit,nozzles and Dmolds intakes for my Phantom FGR1 build but it's well worth it though

Nice tri-dekker - I found these at a local meeting - the basics looks ok, but the ribs on the wings and the interior needs a major overhaul - think I will have to sand the wings a lot to get a realistic look.

Mark, it was just another pretty box that I could not pass up. I have this crazy idea to try rigging after viewing those beautifull WWI builds on Aeroscale here. There are so many to choose from.

Inspiring posts, aren't they.

I'm holding onto a Beech Staggerwing and a Grumman Duck in case I get really brave.

Hi. I've recieved these three shipments in separate packages over the past week.







Notice the crushed condition of the C-119. This gave me much concern when I extracted it from the double crushed cardboard shipping box. I knew if it was damaged, I would have to go back to the shipper as opposed to the carrier, because, if you have to deal with the carrier!!! Ah Well, may as well nail your head to a tree.

Luckily, the Boxcar was undamaged, and I only lost a 1/24 Mustang kit. There is a God!

Hi there

Postie's been busy today at Castle Aeroscale!

First off there was a pack of new goodies from RB Productions for Review - new style scribers and new seat harnesses:



And then the parcel delivery brought a big box from France ( thanks Jean-Luc! ) with samples from Squadron and MPM!:





I'll get on with Reviews as soon as I can.

All the best

Rowan
