Zotz decals is now preparing five sets of 5 profiles ea. for the Red Pill F-4B/N new kit. 
Also, another set for the RF-4C in the Vietnam war.
We are finishing a set of B-26 B/C Marauders for the 1/48 ICM kit. (Wanted a 1/32 kit, maybe coming later?)
Good times (hopefully) coming soon.
Thanks

I suppose if you count their 1/48 He-111Z Zwilling, they have released a 1/48 4-engined kit (or five, in this case). However, ICM's niche appears to be single-engined WWII aircraft in 1/32, and twin-engined WWII aircraft in 1/48.
 
I'd like to dare them to do a twin-engine in 1/32. Their kits are delightfully simple, yet detailed, and build up really nice, albeit a little fiddly in places. No matter what, their 1/32 stuff from the past 4-5 years or so has been top-notch. And in the same swing, I'd like to dare them to do a true 4-engined aircraft in 1/48, like a Halifax. I've observed that one of the kit manufacturers that we comment least about in terms of accuracy issues, is ICM. That's why I want them to keep putting out kits we love; they are accurate, appear to be well-researched, and attractive subjects.

Troy is good people and the products he's selling are aces.

Hey Carl,  Bill,
 
Good to hear all is well in Canada.  I'll have some news to announce soon about some sponge adhesive pads to use with the D400 (sander)..  There is also a new template being offered to easily cut out the sponges that will fit each individual shapes for the sander tips that come with the D400.  I haven't had a chance to try them out yet but I have a good mate to let him go through this for us.   
 
Coming soon there will be a new drill press device to use with the D550 router that is coming out soon.  This is a vertical mount drill press using the D550 (semi pro) that will also have a small table type saw device as an added feature to use.  Coming soon.  If interested, I can provide send some pictures of the prototype.  
 
The new D150 mini pin vise is also a great addition and sells well.  
 
A great shout out to all you gent's for supporting me for the past several years.  Thank you.  
 
Kindest regards,
 
Troy  
 
 

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.

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.

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. 
 

 

 

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

In my case, I have a number of duplicates as I want to build a variety of types and cover the 'spectrum' of sub-types..
 
e.g. Spitfire Mk.IX early, late, warbird, 'e' wing etc.,
 
and I also want to use the kits as a base for conversions e.g. the lovely Laminar Flow Griffon engine Spits - which use the Tamiya, IX, VIII and XVIs as the start point
 
so whilst I have a large stock of base kits, I have quite diverse plans for them.
 
Though, I could see myself getting addicted to certain kits and wanting to build them again and again. The Kotare Spitfires fall into that category I think..
 
In other lesser scales, I've built 6 or 7 Eduard 1:48th Spitfires and at least that many Tamiya 1:48 P-51 B/Ds, as I just love those kits and the way they go together!

How did you get these, they look great!

The postie just dropped off my most anticipated kit this morning and I am a happy man
 
 
 
As well as this
 
 
I now have 4 new ships to go with my other 4 more traditional subjects (New Jersey, Enterprise CVN-65, Yamato and Z39) awaiting their turn on the bench
 
I have to stop buying these kits!
 

The largest number of 1/32 and 1/24 kits by subject matter I have:
 
Fw 190s & Ta 152s - 39 stash, + 7 built and 1 underway. 
Bf 109s - 27 stash, + 6 built and 1 underway. 
 
Hundreds of other subjects as well, but none come close to the numbers of '190s and '109s. 
 
And I will build them all.

For me, it would be Corsairs. I have 6 1/32nd Tamiya F4u's, plus 2 Trumpy F4u-4's, plus a 1/48th Tamiya F4u-1D.

Has to be Spitfires.

I can neither confirm nor deny the presence of four WnW Sopwith Pups in my stash…
