In looking for a sander for a project, I asked Troy for some advice and picked up a D400 sander from him. It just arrived here in Canada so I'll be looking forward to trying it out. Thanks for answering my questions and the great service. Carl

Dave, I got them from Demon Resin on eBay. He does several different 1/12 wheels and tires.

New rims and tires for some of my 1/12 kits. Countach and GT40, compared to the kit versions. MP4/6, 1 set with slicks and 1 with rain tires.

I had 3 as well but built the JPE one and one of my standard versions. Missed the cycle fender version. Or rather had it stolen by a porch pirate. As for 1/32 aircraft duplicates, they're mostly confined to Tamiya releases. Tamiya - Spitfires 5 left, 9 built - Corsairs 4 left, 2 built - F-4s 2 left, 4 built - F-14s 1 left, 2 built

It really is a great reference book. I picked one up as well.

It's the mug from 12 O'Clock High so definitely on the cool side.

Or a vampire (bat?) face and a Maple Leaf. That's my pick and the way I'll build mine.

CF-100 Clunk would be top of my list. Followed by a CF-105 Arrow and finally the F-11F Tiger previously mentioned.

K2, I'm building the Moebius one at the moment. It's at the paint stage with me doing the post shading at the moment. Carl

I stopped by my LHS yesterday during a quick break at work. They had a few kits set aside for me so I was happy to pick them up. The YF-22 is for a project I'm working on, I need the burner cans/nozzles from it. I'm hoping they'll save me a some scratch building. The Fisher kits came in from a large collection of mostly 1/32 kits. They knew I was interested in them so they generously held them for me and gave me first crack once they had a price. Nendless to say it's most I've spent in my LHS in a long time. It's also one of the things that makes me glad to have a great LHS. Carl

An FR47 would be great. It means I can give up on trying to tame my Freightdog conversion.

That's some great news. I did enjoy building the Matchbox 24 kit but it'll be nice to have an up to date one.

@Greg W, I checked the stash and I still have the lower cowl from the Alley Cat PR XI conversion. Even though it's designed for the Tamiya kit the fit still requires some work. I won't be using it as I'm doing a PR XIX so if you want that, it's yours for the postage. You would still need the AIMs set for the rest but it may make it easier to use on the Tamiya kit. Carl

The Hasegawa 1/48 kits are actually more detailed and build up quite nicely. If you drop down to their 1/72 line, there's a lot more variety.

Thierry, how is the windscreen in your Alley Cat set? The ones I have are both incredibly thick and not that clear. I'm thinking the AIMs one would be better from that standpoint. Carl
