Mikester got a reaction from Martinnfb in 1:32 Douglas A-26 Invader from Trumpeter/Hobbyboss?
I'm holding out for the 1/32 Tamiya rendition of this one, as well as the B-24.

Mikester got a reaction from Kagemusha in Revell 1/32 Me-262 in stock Spruebrothers
FWIW, had an extensive discussion on 109 slats on another forum many years ago. It was noted that when Gunther Rall was still alive and asked by someone whether the slats were normally open or closed on the ground he stated that the ground crew usually pushed them shut to prevent any build up of debris. I've modeled mine both ways.

Mikester reacted to John Craft in Corsair Mk II last show
I decided at the last minute to take the 1/32 Corsair Mk II to one final show. Went to the 2019 SprueDoo in Little Rock, Arkansas this Saturday. Thought about not taking it, but decided to anyway. Glad I did!! I won a Gold, Best Aircraft and Best of Show Military! My first Best of Show! I was shocked and very honored!

Mikester got a reaction from Rick Griewski in Revell FW 190A/F Cowling
Oh I have about 10 Hasegawa 190's in the stash and I love them, but I got a REALLY good deal on the Revell F-8s ($6 each) so I just couldn't pass them up.

My question may look weird but why not getting the Hasegawa kit?

I'd love to see that with an integrated engine plug like the Hasegawa kits. Really don't have any interest in fiddling around assembling an engine that will never be seen with panels closed anyway.

Mikester got a reaction from Andrea Ferrari in ICM 2020 plans - NEW Fiat Cr.42 and Stearman Pt-17
Great to see an IM 1/32 CR. 42 but still a little baffled by the lack a Macchi 202 in 1/32. Maybe Kitlinx will release the old PCM version but come on, beautiful aircraft with tons of great paint schemes and markings. Seems like a no brainer.

Mikester got a reaction from MikeC in Eduard Bf-109 E-1/E-3 Legion Condor in 2019 announced
The 2mm is on the Hasegawa G's is much ado about nothing IMO. It looks the part and doesn't distract from the end product in the least.

Mikester got a reaction from MikeC in Eduard Bf-109 E-1/E-3 Legion Condor in 2019 announced
Curious since their "1/43" 109G-6 was absolutely crucified (justifiably so) and they want back and actually re-did it. Their Emil is not perfect but it's still a decent kit. They could upscale their current line of 109s up to 1/32 and it would be a license to print money, really don't understand why they have a such a tough time with 1/32.

According to Eduard no one's interested in 1/32? Why bother.

Mikester reacted to Radub in 1/32 Revell Me 262-A (New Tool) July 2019 Release
Recently a new page appeared on Facebook called Revell USA and a photo dated 26 June 2019 shows Ed Sexton, who used to work for Revell USA when it was part of Hobbico, in front of a Revell USA stand at NIMCON. Interestingly, the photo shows a "Revell USA boxing" of the 1/32 P-51D-5NA Mustang.
This may mean that there may be a Revell USA again. :-)

Mikester got a reaction from LSP_K2 in Are there any sprue shots of Revell Me 262A single seater
I'm sure the Revell 262 single seater will be a great kit, just like the two seater. As mentioned before, those of us in the US may never see it at a reasonable price over here though.
I've got three Trumpeter single seaters and a two seater and they're great kits, and reasonably priced for what you get. I don't mind the rivets at all.
