Well that looks lovely. - Dennis S. Mt. Juliet, TN USA

Looks great Dave, bravo! - Dennis S. Mt. Juliet, TN USA

I did see on the TT Modelworks Facebook page that he has to increase pricing. From his page: "Another big, kinda sad news, is that due to licensing, taxes, and additional costs, I have to raise the price of my products to keep it up. I also removed the flat shipping option and replaced it with shipping fees calculated by UPS to mitigate the shipping cost. Now full kits in 1/32 are 239.95 and 1/48 are 169.95. The "No Decal" option is now Basic Kit option, which comes without any armaments nor decals, which can be purchased separately, in case you guys want a cheaper option." So for those that already secured one, kudos to you! - Dennis S. Mt. Juliet, TN USA

Also, I think it fair to show what I am shipping! This fella is headed to Reno, NV to a customer who plans to present it as a gift to a very close family friend, who is the son of the ball turret gunner. This plane was lost in late 1944 with the loss of 6 crew members. My customer's friend's father was one of the four survivors. This is the 1/72 Airfix B-17G, with a stinger tail gun from the Revell 1/72 B-17G kit spliced on. - Dennis S. Mt. Juliet, TN USA

Thank you everyone! This is all very, very helpful! I'm feeling a bit more confident now. - Dennis S. Mt. Juliet, TN USA

I mean, I'm not Tim, but I'd love to see you guys tackle the P-39, Ki-43, and P-47 Razorback. - Dennis S. Mt. Juliet, TN USA

I mold them myself! Drop me a PM, I'm confident I have some laying around I could send you. - Dennis S. Mt. Juliet, TN USA

Eduard unfortunately has a habit of printing their colored photoetch in the wrong colors for interiors especially. I carefully painted mine the correct bronze green color, to match the remainder of the cockpit: - Dennis S. Mt. Juliet, TN USA

All- I am preparing to ship my first built model to a customer across the US, and will need to ship others in the not too distant future. I am, obviously, quite nervous about the endeavor. I wanted to pick your brains... who is the best package carrier with the highest chance of actually taking care of the fragile package along the way? I know there are inherent risks with not delivering in person, but this is the route I must take unfortunately. But, I'd like to mitigate as much risk as possible by picking the right courier. I will be packing the model to the best of my abilities, so any damage to the kit itself would be a result of the handler, not my poor packaging! Who do you recommend I use, and stay away from? I have the big three here in the Nashville area... USPS, FedEx, and UPS. Any insight would be most helpful! - Dennis S. Mt. Juliet, TN USA

That is one impressive looking instruction sheet. I'm very impressed! Really looking forward to getting my kit now. - Dennis S. Mt. Juliet, TN USA

The finish line is definitely close! An absolute masterpiece Jay, something you should be very proud of. - Dennis S. Mt. Juliet, TN USA

The rudder looks awesome! Well done. I noticed in a few photos I found of the mirror that the mount as it attaches to the windscreen proper has some space between the curved base and the windshield itself. Like it has a different curvature than the upper windscreen. I'll grab another photo to show you what I'm talking about. EDIT: Here's is said photo, found it faster than I anticipated! - Dennis S.

Maybe this will help? - Dennis S. Mt. Juliet, TN USA

I envision we'll see a nice new-tool 1/32 P-38E/F/G/H series from Kotare at some point in the not too distant future. It really is a kit that's right in their wheelhouse when they're ready to go to a twin-engine subject. - Dennis S. Mt. Juliet, TN USA

A Halifax Mk.III. I knew it. - Dennis S. Mt. Juliet, TN USA
