Don’t worry mate, Mr. Holy is just compensating... Cheers Alan

Wow, talk about getting bent over the barrel - here in Europe the B-24 kit is selling for €134,95 (equal to $155 USD).... Good luck with that... Cheers Alan

Nice Karim! Thanks for sharing - I think I’ll actually try to make it out there one day!! BTW, who is the red-head hottie with the camera?? Yikes!! We have a saying here in Austria - rusty roof - wet basement!! Well deserved on the Ho-229!! Outstanding build!! Cheers Alan

So sorry to hear that Gerhard - our condolences mate! Cheers Alan

Congrats and happy to see two little fur balls get a nice home!! Cheers Alan

Outstanding!! This is so exciting to see come together!! Thanks for sharing and updating the build Alex! Really amazing to see this technology bring an idea to life!! Cheers Alan

This is just masterclass work! I love the finish! Outstanding artistry Miloslav! Thank you for sharing!! Cheers Alan

Couldn’t agree more Tony! I love your saying: “... which will absorb as much AM...” - exactly true!! Cheers Alan

Hi Iain et al., my supplier (shop) told me that the European importer has confirmed that the skinny legs will be cast in hard metal like the other Trumpeter big jet kits so that the styrene plastic legs (oleos) can be glued over them. So I’m pretty sure those metal inserts will carry the weight of the bird!! Cheers Alan can we merge this thread please - too many and it’s starting to get confusing... also seems to be a thread initiated to start a bittchiing session.... please bury it in the main B-24 thread!!

Such a decision defies any sense of logic...

Outstanding build! I love the finish!! Cheers Alan

Just gorgeous - looking forward to seeing the RFI photos!! Cheers Alan

Well, pre-ordered one today and was told they should have the kits in around mid-Nov... so late Nov for me! Am really looking forward to this! Cheers Alan

Jim, if I squint hard enough I start to see stars and a nice soft glow around all the edges... Cheers Alan

Thanks Iain, pretty interesting airframe history! Cheers Alan
