Am glad to hear they are both okay Pete… man, what an ordeal. Any news on what happened, was it an engine failure or hydraulic failure… just really curious what could have happened to have caused this jet to go down. Cheers Alan

That is unreal… I know here in Austria that many privately owned aircraft have motion activated detectors with cameras installed on all main landing gear… they cameras capture everything… now I know why they do this… so sad… one of the most powerful forces in our world is jealousy and envy… the root of all evil.

Look at the bright side… maybe all thos half empty reservoirs will get filled again?? Joking aside, hope it doesnt wreck to much havoc! Cheers Alan

Thanks for the nice video! Enjoyed that! Cheers Alan

Me too! Cheers Alan

Man, really sorry to hear this happened to you. Can I ask, which country do you live in? What have the police done to investigate? The good news is that you and your family are alive and the house is intact. What a crazy world we live in… Cheers Alan

Beautiful work mate! I just love your builds! Very nice! Cheers Alan Ps. Do you sell your builds or, do you display them at home? Would love to see how you display your builds.

Some really nice work going on here, thanks for sharing! Such a beautiful aircraft! Cheers Alan

Glad to hear the two pilots are okay. I do believe that the owner/pilot is Pete’s friend. Some good decision making going on in that sequence! Sad for the loss of the aircraft. Cheers Alan

I would love to get a set of 1/32 Strawberry B****! Put me down for a set please! Cheers Alan

I want this kit! This is the version that I have been waiting for! Cheers Alan

Peter, I think you just helped Trumpeter get another sale in… and I want to order some after market from you too!! Beautiful work! Cheers Alan

Wasn’t the Hasegawa release from years ago the one kit that was actually the least sold on the market? I remember reading that from an interview with Hasegawa. Cheers Alan

Thanks guys! Would the tips still have been red as Bill pointed out during the Vietnam War era? Or, were the towbars full yellow? Cheers Alan

Beauty! Very nicely done mate! Cheers Alan

Does anybody know what color the tow bars were painted on Vietnam era US Navy Carrier decks? I have found one photo online and the color seems to be white, but it could also be yellow - as chocks tended to be also yellow. Any intel appreciated. Thanks. Regards, Alan

Coming along very nicely! Cheers Alan

Oh wow, I had only seen those in 1/48. Thank you. Regards, Alan

Does anybody know if there are any 1/32 3D printed wheel chocks on the market? I have seen some PE sets around, but would prefer 3D printed or resin parts? Are there any? Am looking to display with my ZM 1/32 Ta-152H-1 Thanks. Cheers Alan

Outstanding work and attention to detail! Beautiful Cheers Alan

Interesting responses, thanks guys. BTW, does anybody have a 1/48 Revell kit for sale? Cheers Alan

I have wanted a 1/32 scale B-1B Lancer for a long time since actually getting to see one up close many years ago. I am curious to know who all would love to see such a kit come to market (either IM or, 3D printed). I am not planning anything, just curious if there are others who like this amazing aircraft too. Cheers Alan

Thanks for all the info - much appreciated! Cheers Alan

Hello Helo guys, I am extremely interested in purchasing the TAKOM 1/35 scale AH-64E Apache Guardian (#2602) kit. I know almost nothing about the American helicopters, however I have always admired the Apache. I would like to build a modern US Army Apache. Can this kit get me there, or is it mostly focused on the Allies who operate them? Thanks for the insights and help! Cheers Alan

Well, I have gone and ordered one since seeing this thread… hope they can sell more and bring the Kate to market! Cheers Alan
