  1. Very nice, makes me want to start the one I have in my stash. Kyle
  2. Thanks! The decals where a big reason I got it. Hadn't built a Semi since I was a kid. I now have three more to do. The Chrome paint was a new brand I have never seen called SPAZ STIX. It comes in a spray can and they have various shades of chrome and I think gold also. I needs a gloss black base just like Allclad. Kyle
  3. Having no motivation to really finish any projects I spotted this at the local hobby shop and couldn't resist. Despite having lots of flash and some offset molding the plastic is soft and easy to clean up. I used Tamiya spray can paints and the gloss coat is 'Future'. I removed the chrome using 'Purple Power', learned this from one of the car guys in our local club here in Albuquerque. Purple Power is a degreaser sold at auto stores or WalMart. It has no odor, leaves no residue on the parts and can be reused. The decals are thin didn't tear while adjusting and reacted well to Miro Set and Sol. Now I just need to find the Revell Thunderbird truck I saw on ebay, but not at the price they where asking! Now I having a blast with the Tamiya P-51. Kyle
  4. I have ordered from them 3 times now. First time was when the Shinden first came out, this was only offered through the Japan site at that time. I have since ordered the Ta-152 and another Shinden through the 'USA' site option. Items are better priced and shipping is reasonable. I get an e-mail confirming my order then the next e-mail, when it comes, is the shipping notice. Never had any issues and they actually answered my questions I sent by e-mail. Kyle
  5. Thanks. I was think that might be the case. Just looks so cool. Kyle
  6. Been working on the Academy F-16I, which is a great kit. I've been building the weapons and noticed that the AGM-142 Popeye and the Rafael data link pod are included. I do not know what version of this missile is in the kit, but was it ever carried on the SUFA? If not, guess I can use it on the IAF F-4 or F-15I I plan to do. Kyle
  7. Looks good Mustang. I have just finished the engine assembly steps on mine, but I didn't drill out the plugs. I like that idea. Kyle
  8. Just went back to the site and now everything is sold out except the prototype or early cowl. Hope they are just updating the site. Kyle
  9. Just caught the last part. Hope it gets fixed, I wanted the jet engine. Kyle
  10. The parts where not on sale until late today. You can order them now. Was just at the site. Kyle
  11. Very Nice!!!! Almost done myself, like the post shading. Hope mine comes out as nice. Kyle
  12. My mask were in one of the clear bags with the decals. Kyle
  13. Actually holiday should be over, at least going by the Hobby Link Japan site. There are probably busy with all the orders from over the Holiday.
  14. Looking good. It's nice to see how others assemble and paint this kit. I agree about how quick this kit builds. I just put on the mask for the canopy last night. They fit very well, you just have to work on the placement. I actually got one coat of paint on the bottom to check my seams. Not much to fix. Kyle
