I have all his mixes downloaded and saved if you need them.

What is it?  I can:t get the photo to open.  

Armorama too.

Well, if you want to find knowledgeable treadheads and good afv modellers, try Missinglynx or Tracklink forums.

My airplanes are fairly diverse, but I do have 3 1/12 Tamiya Caterham cars.

Airfix next tool kit should be a kit they have already done in large part or in total, so as such any of their originnal tooled kits should be re-tooled.  In the alternative do the F6F-3.  Just my 2 cents, with inflation maybe that is my 2$.

I am a second, I don:t care if it is a perfect model of the Sptifire from Border, I would go Kotare for a simpler build.  Probably will get a V when Kotare gets beyond the early version.  

They are Japan only, I don:t buy often from them, but that is only because I skip the overseas shipping if possible.  However with that said if you can only get it over seas, they are one of the go to places to buy from.  It used to be you could undercut Tamiya U.S.A. Through them but Tamiya eliminated that some years ago.  That is a fine molds kit, you might never see that truck in a U.S. hobby shop, it might show up on ebay, BNA model world might get it also.  I actually like BNA better now than Hobby LInk because it often seems Hobby LInk does not have that much inventory, where BNA gets all sorts of aftermarket that can be hard or impossible to get in the U.S.

For those who have Apple TV and watched Masters of the Air, my wife and I started watching a series ostensibly about Fashion, turns out a WWII thriller breaks out.  This story at least starts with focusing on CoCo Channel and Christian Diors activities in occupied France during WWII.  So far have enjoyed every minute of this one.

I am in the U.S. and have frankly been disgusted that the media won't give her and her family some privacy.  As she is neither the king nor the queen and has no official government duties and until such thing should come about, I have felt very much that the whole coverage is just awful.  I do wish her and her family the best.

... and the P-51B/C which would generate mega multiple sales

I wanted to see more about the fighters also, I don’t mind that they did not mention the Me-262 as it was irrelevant anyway.  For my part the big miss was failure to cover the air war from January 1944 to June 6 1945.  From a modeling standpoint the Me-262 is fabulous.  From a usefulness standpoint it just did not make any difference and so to me was of no importance.  It would have been a bit more significant to capture the nose turrets on the B-17 than make an issue of the 262.  But I wanted the stories of people like George Preddy and Bud Anderson.  Maybe someday we will get that story.

I do not know how to multi quote, but kids buying models is being discussed and whether it is old people or whatever.  I hope I am not age stereo typing too badly my fellow forumits but I think we are older, predominately white males.  I don:t think kids matter now like they used to.  I just don:t think the pathway is as much through children buying models at their local shop.  To some degree maybe but, I remember like all of you when every toy store, and every other store with a toy section had a model section.  My staple was K-B Toy and Hobby which always had a wall of models.  So back to my point I don:t think kids are the drivers now.  They were for our generation.
 
When you look at modeling now it is much more of a thing on FAcebook and places like that.  The people coming to the hobby look to me like while young are often coming to the hobby later on and from different pathways.  The most common place now to for young people to find their way in is through the door of a gaming store.  These have actually become fairly common, I can find one within a 10 minute walk of where I am sitting.  
 
Facebook may be the most powerful draw for new modelers.  Young people do not connect the way we did, they are much more online whether kids or young adults.  As such it does not matter to them that there is no local hobby shop.  The subject matter may diverge also, it feels like Gundam is here and may become the dominant form of modeling over our planes and tnaks.  Cars are looking very strong with younger modelers also.  
 
Eduard is still marketing more to people like ourselves I believe as they are mainly doing stuff related to planes tanks and ships, their market is very European and U.S.  I do not pretend to know what effect all of this has, but the modeling hobby is bigger than it has ever been by a mile but it is different and is not child driven.  In 1980 the majority of modelers, like myself, probably were still children, I doubt that is the case now, the people that come to modeling in the future will have come from other interests like computers gaming and physical gaming as well as sci-fi.  
 
My son is 18 and war thunder and Star Wars has made him interested in modeling, but he builds lego and cobi at present, will he come to my glue together kits as he gets older, I bet he does as he asks me to build him a kit now and then.  Last year I built him a 1/16 Tiger at his request, he also took over all my Star Wars models for his collection.
