Wonderful. Thanks for posting Dave

I think Michael runs Cybermodeler not that that matters in this context Dave

Here's a good article too on Alclad (and aluminum foil too) http://famecities.com/2013/07/natural-metal-by-ed-kinney-and-larry-davis/ Dave

He won't. They will not change their decals. They have traditionally been thick and that's just the way it was, is and more than likely will be. FWIW, I haev never had an issue with them conforming BUT they are thick Dave

I agree...the ICM kits have have built and maybe at best average. Nice choice of subjects but very average in fit and detail. And Lukagraph, to me, has zero interesting planes Dave

Spectacular Dave

That is sweet. Keep them coming for large scale Dave

I supplied Neil tons of info on a particular plane several years ago so I hop that is it but time will tell. Love all the speculation Dave

Reminds me of the old Moskit exhausts from yesteryear- very nice Dave

Thanks to all. I don't find the Squadron thing that mystifying as we all tend to be the "hardcore" modelers who look around and know more details. Squadron caters to the ones less knowing and more into quick purchases, etc. which make up the majority of the modelers. (People that build a kit when they feel like it or are interested) And yes- its stupid to sell one but I assume it was done due to cost attracting people Dave

Is it this one? https://www.squadron.com/Martin-Baker-Mk-H-7-Ejection-Seat-p/tdp32902.htm I did notice when they have multiples, they say "seats" and single "seat". They are nice but pricey as people said Then again, what kits and things aren't anymore Dave Dave

Sprue Brothers have them: https://store.spruebrothers.com/product_p/aca12118-os.htm Not cheap but they do list as in stock Lucky Model appears to OOS Dave

Completely correct. In my case, could care less about accuracy so bring it on. Looks like the plane so I am good. Got over my AMS years ago Dave

One comment about prethinned paints. I wholeheartedly agree they are easy but one reason it is done is it is more profitable. The cheapest part of a paint is the thinner so by pre-thinning, they are adding the cheapest ingredient (plus it is easier to use). One of the largest paint companies I used to work for had a standard rule. Once the paint was done being checked for quality, thin it to just above the bottom of specification - it increases the amount you can sell by adding water or solvent Dave

So, is this stuff even safe considering there is no info as to what's in it Dave

Or 15 minutes of sanding. Pass on the Revell kit. Trumpeter is just fine Dave

Two reasons. First, while this group of people worldwide is devout 1/32 fans, many don't do them because they are either simply too large to display or too expensive to buy. Second, when Academy made their lovely 1/32 F-18, the tooling costs alone exceeded $1MM and with a limited market and reissues, that is a lot of money to get back especially with resellers, etc. Dave

1/32 B-26

Or a B-26. Lancaster is cool but too much dollars for minimal interest (to me) Dave

That looks like a lot of fun and you can paint it up any way you want Nice Dave

$350-400..major pass Dave

I'll stick with the Trumpeter. Better kit to me as far as fit. Rivets...simply don't care Dave

Looks good to me. Two little swipes will round it off more than enough Great pics BTW Dave

Don't care. Not one little bit. Accuracy is a waste of time and eliminates the fun for me Dave

We supplied lot sof design drawings to a company plus research, blueprints, etc. We will see if they follow through on a B-26 Dave
