+1 from another satisfied customer in Europe! Mr. Hashizume-san is a real modeller's retailer. I bought several FMP models from Keystone Models in the past. I also endorsed his shop to other LSP members seeking for Fisher models: they expressed appreciation for my suggestion. If interested, buy with confidence: Mr. Hashizume-san will take care of your order properly. Happy modelling! Stefano

Ordered mine, together with other candies from Ali’s box, earlier on this week. Happy Easter!

Santa came early here! Content looks gorgeous! Happy modelling and safe festivities to all! Stefano

Benvenuto Fabio! E buon divertimento! Stefano

Just received my order. The finishing and the detailing of the panels look very realistic. And yes, the Opening Weekend Offer 2 for 1 worked for me (some gadgets also included in the package): got 2 sets for the price of 1 each. I'll definitely buy more! Stay safe and Happy Modelling! Stefano

Ben, Go buy that big stringbag immediately! Keep your son's passion for LSP alive. And please don't forget posting snapshots Happy modelling! Stefano

Same for me Jan : the promotion seems not to work. Nevertheless, I made my purchase and will see what comes in the box. Stefano

The quest is finally over! After a long search I managed to spot and scoop a Fisher's Ford, supposedly one of the few still available in the market. After a long journey from Japan, it landed safely to her new home in Rome. For those of you who may be interested, the seller, Keystone Models, has some Fisher Model items still in stock (https://www.keystone-models.com/airtoday-3224.htm). Pricing is fair (except for whopping custom & handling takes here ...) and customer service is impressive. My package has been disinfected inside out (complete with a certificate!) before shipping to prevent COVID potential contagion. Hashifume-san (mail@keystone-models.com), the shop owner, is indeed commendable for his customer care. If this raised some appetite, you may shop with confidence. I guess my Ford won't stay long in the shelf! Happy modelling! Stefano

Trumpeter A-Team diverted to 1:1 scale TBD model design? That might explain the decade+ delay! OK well done. Now back to work on our scale please! Let’s keep on hoping! Stefano

Wow! This creates some serious expectations! Thank you Jan for the good news Stefano

... And still no Devastator in 1:32... Stefano

Have a look at this! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-YBCsS9AGs

The Master is back! Enjoy! Stefano

Rick, most versions of the Sparviero were equipped with PWO.2 two-pitch all-metal propellers, manufactured by SIAI Savoia Marchetti. the original tech manual scan can be bought and downloaded using the following link: https://www.ebookland.org/index.php/it/aeronauticaaircraft-italia58/elicasavoiamarchettimodpwo21939descrizionetecnica-bdownloadb792-detail Please note that the same publisher sells scans of many SM-79 original tech manuals: I am confident you will be able to determine which aircraft series were equipped with alternative Ratier type propellers. In addition, here is a FB link to https://www.facebook.com/modelpublishingbooks/, the Savoia Marchetti SM-79 Publishing Book project: this group also aimed at releasing accurate scale drawings based on the original airframe displayed at AMI Vigna di Valle Museum. Got no recent news about publishing of their drawings. The pandemics safety measures prevent me from hopping to the museum and gathering additional info you might need - sadly. Nevertheless, hope this helps! Happy modelling! Stefano

An outstanding rendition of a lesser-known floatplane and an amazing thread. Could we ask for more? Thank you for sharing on this Forum! Chapeau Baffozac
