Black Sheep One

Ford Trimotor.

Hi guys!
It's been a while since I posted here last, been kind of busy with work, health and life issues in general.
 
Anyways, I've had this kit for about a week now and finally found the time to post it.
It came from Emodels.co.uk in the UK and took 3 days to get to me.  Great service!

It's been a while since I posted here.  Just too busy with doctors and work!
Anyway... I had a busy weekend this past weekend as my model club was hosting Noreastcon 45 at The Museum of American Armor
in Bethpage, NY.
It was a fun show with some impressive looking tanks and other AFV's.  Probably one of the best shows in a while.
I picked up some stuff:
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 
And I picked this one a couple of weeks go:

Wow.
Just...WOW!
All this arguing over a kit that hasn't even been released yet!
 
Same story every time a new kit is announced.

Being that they will be 1/32 scale I don't think they will be too small.
As for cost, I'm afraid they won't be to inexpensive either.
Being Roden I'm not too sure about the detail level as evidenced by past kits. But one can only hope......
 
Now lets not start a war of words here on a kit that hasn't even been made yet!

Well.... the issue with the circumference of the nose, to me, is not a big deal.
I figured that the problem would be there with the "F" models as well since it would probably require HK to make a new mold to correct this and, as I've been told, making a mold for an injected model costs a lot of money and I don't think HK cares that much to make such an investment.
 
What I do worry about is the PE set for the cockpit.
Does the "F" model has the same IP as the "G" model?
Was the problem with the PE IP from Eduard corrected?
I remember there was a problem with the IP for the "G" off register when it came out.
I just wonder if this was corrected.  Those PE sets aren't cheap!

Maybe they should've gone straight to Boeing for original drawings and visited a few museums to see for themselves and research the real thing rather than relying on hobbyist to send them pictures and do the research for them.

Post pics.......of the women!

Hey Kev, sorry to hear about your computer.
When my Macbook Pro crashed last year, I took it to the Apple Genius Bar and was relieved to see them recover all my data from my  crashed HD.  I had them replace the damaged drive with a 1TB SSD.
 
So maybe there is still hope for your machine.
 
Oh, BTW, my contribution should be there by now.
 
Good luck.

Oh I'm sure you need to upgrade.
What I was referring to is that.in most cases, Apple can recover your data.

Thanks Kev.
I know I went a little overboard but since I don't have any family in NY, I don't get Christmas presents so.....I made up for it!

So here's the latest a couple of days after Christmas.  I finally got around to getting some photos.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And two more.
 

 

HK already announced the Memphis Belle configuration for the F model.
 
I'd really like to find a set of decals for the Piccadilly Lily from 12 O'clock High.

These came in earlier this week:
