Nice work! Looking outstanding. If you follow my link below to my B-24 WIP, I've got some info on mods I've done so far, and the Vallejo color I used for the bronze green interior, which I found to be outstanding. - Dennis S. Thornton, CO USA

This will be my brother and I's first Nationals, and we're really looking forward to it! We'll be headed to Omaha from Denver here in about 2 hours or so. Bringing 3 models with me (1/32 B-17G, 1/32 I-16, 1/48 F7F Tigecat firebomber), which I am particularly proud of, but I don't expect to win anything. Just like to share my work with everyone else, add see everyone else's fine work. Hoping to bump into a few of you along the way. Look for the twins walking around buying too much stuff in the vendor's room. - Dennis S. Thornton, CO USA

Sad that I passed this one up! - Dennis S. Thornton, CO USA

That's an outstanding price. - Dennis S. Thornton, CO USA

Everyone should buy this kit, it's a nice "little" gem! And, that will further encourage ICM to produce more 1/32 kits, which have all been outstanding as of late. - Dennis S. Thornton, CO USA

I wonder what the chances are this is the Kitty hawk kit that was nearing release when they folded? - Dennis S. Thornton, CO USA

Usually seems like Shizuoka and Telford are it, and even those are dwindling in the "surprise release" sorta way. - Dennis S. Thornton, CO USA

Also ordered from Lithuania, and it arrived super fast. It's a gem of a kit, and has lovely fabric texture on the fuselage. It wasn't shown in the YouTube CAD build, but you can build it with the cowling top removed showing all the guns and stuff inside. Nice touch, kinda like Zvezda does with their 1/48 kits. - Dennis S. Thornton, CO USA

I have it on good authority that it's going to be a model kit. - Dennis S. Thornton, CO USA

Yes, if you were to order it directly from Europe (usually Ukraine or Poland for ICM kits direct) you likely can order it now, or it's a very close to release pre-order. - Dennis S. Thornton, CO USA

All- In Today's SprueBrothers Lightning Deals, the 1/32 HK B-17E / B-17F kit can be had for a really good price! If you fancy an early Fort, snatch one up. These are getting harder to find (although they did just re-release the F). - Dennis S. Thornton, CO USA

That's an easy one for me... a Bf-110G-4 night fighter: Talk about turning some heads! - Dennis S. Thornton, CO USA

I was able to compare the injection-molded clear parts from the kit and the ResKit set, and they have indeed corrected the windscreen shape. - Dennis S. Thornton, CO USA

All- I recently received my F-111 cockpit module from ResKit in Ukraine. It was their first venture into transparent canopies, so I was curious what was going to be in the box. I ordered one to compliment (and hopefully enhance) the Hobby Boss 1/48 F-11E kit I purchased a while back, which has shape issues in the cockpit area. Upon opening the box, I was delighted to see their typical grey, well cast and complete resin, and injection-molded canopy parts! They didn't even attempt clear resin, they created a mold to make new transparencies. Now, I haven't had a chance to check for shape accuracy, but everything sure looks outstanding in the box. It was a nice package, and a great upgrade over the kit parts. - Dennis S. Thornton, CO USA

Nothing specific about this Yak kit, but that they are in full production and doing what we love them for best! Making models, and shipping them out. If it's anywhere near the quality of their recent 1/32 releases, buy with extreme confidence. - Dennis S. Thornton, CO USA
