  1. Well certainly nothing concrete, just assuming there'll be some aftermarket decal sheets for this. It'll be awhile before I can get the kit so probably by that time there should be something out. I would think so anyway.
  2. I'm quite sure there will be some sheets coming our way, patience brother ,patience. I WILL be getting this and by the time i can buy it the decal sheets will be available .
  3. Sooooooo, when does this get released? I'm stoked about this BUT I want to see some plastic first before I plunk down any cash. Then if everything is kopacetic, I'll get it and the T.20 too [provided they do one]
  4. I'd wait for the kotare issue to honest . I saw the sprue shots on here a while back , looks like a lot of hobby Boss" DNA". If I can spot the problems ,and I'm not that "up to speed " on the early mark spits, then that may be telling in and of itself. I 'm also hearing their -109 G has some Trumpeter "DNA" also [ i' don't have the kit, just what I've heard].
  5. Man, no kidding, incredibly brave! People think I'M nuts. I salute them!
  6. Those really are the bees knees, about the best I've ever seen. Ejection seats make a large impact in the construction of a jet [ very visible]. Now all we need is a quality Phantom kit to match these. IMHO the old Tamiya toombs aren't quite good enough anymore [ not too bad but definitely dated]
  7. The Belanca Aircruiser is out there at Erickson's also, just thought you might like to know.
  8. I gotta admit I had to look that one up. They only built one [scrapped], wasn't a whole lot faster than a P-51. Was originally designed to use a radial engine , ended up with a Griffon instead. Kind of fat in the front end.
  9. I think I found it ,it's with the Erickson collection at Madras ,maybe I got confused with the Tillamook museum .[???]
  10. Yup it worked and no the Mauler isn't listed anymore . Well what the hell did they do with it?
  11. Oh for sure it is . IIRC the hangar in Akron, Ohio is even bigger! That's where they built the Akron and Macon. You see it from a distance and it looks like a big hillside.
  12. I also saw the one at the Naval museum in Pensacola, beautiful restoration job.
  13. On second thought it might've been longer than 7 years , it was there then I'm sure of it. Maybe they took it somewhere to re do it.
  14. It's been about 7 years ago now, want to get back up there before I leave this part of the country [California]
  15. Was that the one at Tillamook? I wonder where it went? I hope no one got the hairbrained scheme to try to get it to fly. Yeah, It's a big one alright, could carry a load of whoopa$$, and if all else failed they could've dropped the plane on 'em.
  16. The mauler is one big son of a gun! 1/3 bigger than a Skyraider, with an R4360 under the hood! It wasn't a very successful design but ,man it is impressive. I want to say they built about 150 or so.
  17. Asking too much?? "Why, Ike , whatever do you mean?" I'd be down with a later model Beau[ Mk X], hang a big honkin' torpedo under it. I'd also be happy with a MK VI. Now wouldn't the Aussie version have different engines? If they decide to do one we'll be looking at north of 3 years at least before we can get our lunch hooks on it.
  18. Well, my picks would be[ in no particular order], F11Ftiger, Bristol Beaufort , and a Pe-2.
  19. Is it that rough? I WAS thinking about getting it awhile back but now, I'm not sure, don't need the aggravation ATM. Besides that I really need to save up some cash.
  20. True ,but look on the bright side ,it'll be over soon. I'll be leaving now...............
  21. IIRC they found that one in Australia, that one is the first one I'd seen in person. I was impressed.
  22. Well, I'll go out on that limb with ya! Built 2 of 'em and would like a third . Everybody complains they cost too much [and they are a little pricy] ,but ya get what ya pay fer.
  23. I can dig the way you think. I'd jump on that like a duck on a June bug. Looks as though I 'm gonna need to get some more shelving set up [oh the horror of it all].
