  1. That's some good news ! Already has the PCM kit, but a new kit with new moulds at 2023 standards is never too much !
  2. I just got a reply from Simon today. Everything's ok !
  3. Is Silver Wings still in activity? I sent Simon an email this week but i had no answer. He may be on hollyday or to busy of course, but things have changed so much those last years that i prefer to ask (and i was away so i missed a lot of things).
  4. Same here ! What i like most is starting a kit.... Finishing is just boring, though.... The worst are the little delicate stuff at the very end, pitot tubes, landing gear doors, antennas and so on....
  5. I have ordered one from a seller on Aliexpress, but it's been more than a week and it has not been shipped yet. I guess it's a kind of chinese pro-order or something....
  6. Wow.... I dont even understand the purpose of such an agressive and provocative comment....
  7. That weathering is just amazing, that's certainly one of the best rendition of a weathered japanese protective varnish that i've ever seen. Great !
  8. That's a very nicely detailed and crispy job ! I am always astonished how tight and cluttered is a spitfire cockpit... The pilot must definitely not be claustrophobic (or fat) !
  9. I love it ! In my opinion it's one of the best era for the US aircraft, i love those pre-war schemes, and the P-40 really looked state of the art for the late 30's.
  10. To sit down at the bench of course !
  11. Hello guys ! I was off for a while ! Due to various life events, and especially because i moved to an old house where there is a lot of work (and it's not finished !) i was not able to sit down for several years. Actually i have not touch a model since 2019 ! But last week i cracked and made an order to my (former) usual shop and bought 7 model kits ! I cleaned some space and started to reorganize my hobby room. I am now working on a trumpeter P-40M (almost OOB, just some Eduard PE for the cockpit), just to warm up and recover from more than a 3 years stop ! I am very sad however to see that in those last 3 years many great names of the model kit world have closed down for various reasons.... Kittyhawk, Wingnut Wings, Grey Matter Resin, Paul Fisher.... What a loss ! I am happy to start again that nice hobby and to see you again guys, and i will try to post something from time to time !
  12. Lol, that's funny you ask... Some Aires sets fit nicely, others are aweful. The F-104 cockpit is certainly one of the worst fit ever. Mine took me almost as long to fit than to build the whole model. I talked about this in the WIP, iirc... However the casting and details are so beautiful that it's "almost" forgiven.
  13. Amazing paint job ! I love the many little touch-ups, that's very realistic. Was it the Tamiya kit?
  14. Bob, did you get only the canopy or also the windscreen? Did you mentioned the sprue letter in the form?
  15. Wow ! That's amazing ! Glad i have not glued the windscreen yet on mine ! Do they request any proof of purchase or something? I have two kits in the stash, bought at the same time.
  16. EZ Line is called the right name. It's actually very easy. Just make sure to untwist the EZ line before gluing it. You can just let it fall and thread it slightly through fine tweezers. With Prim elastic line a twist is even more noticeable, though it's also easier to untwist. With a bit of care you can get no twist at all.
  17. The build looks amazing. However, i'm very sorry to say that, but i'm not able to read anything more than a few lines of text and a few pictures on a screen. Even a very long review is often too much for me. I'm an old paper kind of guy.
  18. Indeed that resin is incredible ! Very nice original subject, cant wait to see it progressing !
  19. Thank you guys ! Here a some more pictures, now it's finished with the PAK-1 gunsight from North Star Models. It's a very nice resin + PE set, but it's so tiny and delicate that you have to hold your breath when you build it. (The piece of masking tape on the paint jar is 6mm width) And the cute little plane with outdoor light :
