Bstarr3 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Just arrived today... And not cheap for scale... That seems a pretty good price for a good quality and new 1/48 model. How about the GWH P-61 for $75!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted February 28, 2018 Author Share Posted February 28, 2018 I received a delivery today from Canada Post which was unexpected as it's Sunday: I also received a kit I bought from Martinfb earlier so thanks Martin for getting it to me so efficiently. Carl Excellent kit, to be sure. Bill_S 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted February 28, 2018 Author Share Posted February 28, 2018 Two deals and the WW2 German subjects in my stash have gone from 2 to 8... A ton of aftermarket came with the Hasegawa kits and the D-9 is the new tool as well despite the box.... I love those Cyber Hobby 109's, and am indeed jealous. And that's one seriously good looking pooch. Gazzas and petrov27 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutik Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Did you know that there is a kit of the La-11? Got one If you don'nt know about the Lavochkin La-11: It was the last piston-engine fighter introduced to the Soviet Air Force, intended for longe-range escort duties. Performance was somewhat hampered by the sheer weight of fuel and also at great hights, but it was more than a match for any allied piston fighter below 7.000 meters and a deadly opponent to any twin and fourmot bomber, testified by the loss of Privateers, Neptunes, Mitchells, Marauders. Well, it is a cardboard kit, but in true Large Plane Scale. Also one of the most complete ever: Inside the box there are not only instructions and printed parts, but also lasercut reinforcement parts, glue, a sheed of sanding paper, two kinds of string, a wooden toothpick (?), a sheet of clear styrene and a vac canopy. Look at the parts: Instructions with manual pics of the cockpit and UC and technical specifications of the real thing: Looks nice. Not really an injection molded kit, but as close to a La-11 kit as you can come to one.

Gazzas Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 With my recent build of a WWI kit, my interest once again swings to The Great War. But, growing up in an Allied country, I've only learned most in depth about the Allied Powers. But being a single-language being, studying the Central Powers is a little hampered. Fortunately for me, more stuff about the other side is now available in my single language. Special thanks to The Book Depository! You can't go wrong about any book written by Christopher Duffy. Ernst Junger was repeatedly wounded during fighting in the trenches yet lived to be 102 years old. He fought in the Freikorps and was one of the millions who returned home after the war to find his world turned upside down. In the age of steam and steel, Felix von Luckner flought his war in a sailing vessel. After years of hearing about Haig, it should be interesting to read about his main opponent. Finally the last two are actually aviation centric. Both aces were to survive WWI. Rudolf Berthold raised his own Freikorps after WWI and was killed by a rebellious mob. Ernst Udet, we all know was to take his own life during WWII. Gaz Jeff, LSP_K2, kkarlsen and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloorwestSiR Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 My latest kit arrived and I wasn't expecting such a large box: It's about twice the size of most 1/35 armour boxes. I'm going to take a closer look at it later today. Carl dutik, coogrfan, Rick Griewski and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_K2 Posted March 9, 2018 Author Share Posted March 9, 2018 Cool. One of the 1:6 scale jeeps has also been on my want list for quite some time now. Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Cool. One of the 1:6 scale jeeps has also been on my want list for quite some time now. Me too. Although the DML kit is far from perfect, and will need some things with the size of it the detail and corrections/additions will be much easier to do IMHO. Looks like I was wrong about the "Ma Deuce" on the kit too. It appears now its a 1919 (Ma Deuces smaller brother) not the .50 M2 Browning.

The good news is that Dragon also does a 1:6 scale .50. Don't freak out over the very doll-like figure shown on the box, as it's not included.

Out2gtcha Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 If you have the PB fix on your browser you can view mine here on Armorama. Damn, I have the PB fix, but still only see the PB hijack pics. Oh yea, that's a .30 After looking the kit over I then noticed the "w/.30 cal machine gun" listed on the front of the kit. LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
