Bomber_County Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Carl, had to look three times at the sizzle of the Panther box,I thought it's got to be 1/16............ Looking forward to seeing this......... BloorwestSiR and Out2gtcha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Holy jamole! Ive had fast service from SB.com before but this is ridiculous............ordered late yesterday morning, and it showed up at my door about 2 hours ago. About 22 hours from the time I placed the order to when it showed up at my doorstep! Rick Griewski, LSP_K2, BloorwestSiR and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Griewski Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 So Carl, that Panther kit... I imagine that it is a "layer cake" of sprues. Please tell us what could take up that much space? Is this a 1/16 scale? Did you break into the box yet? Rick BloorwestSiR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloorwestSiR Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Bomber_County, Rick, here's a quick look in the box. It's full to say the least. The kit is 1/35 scale and has a full interior, working suspension and tracks. Inside that inner box is the upper hull and turret molded in clear. I wish the ZM clear fuselage bits were that clear. There's very few ejector pin marks and same for flow marks. The other parts have really sharp details as well. The pins are for the working track links. Thankfully they include a jig. I'm still trying to build Modelkasten tracks for my Firefly that are well, fiddly. The instructions look to be reasonably decent. They're a book at 52 pages long. Lastly, comparing the box size to the Dragon kit of the same subject: I don't know how the construction will go but I'm suitably impressed by the level of detail they've put into the kit. I got mine from Lucky Model with free air shipping where just noticed they've got sprue shots up now. http://www.luckymodel.com/scale.aspx?item_no=RF-5016 Hope that helps.

thierry laurent Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 After the finding of a reasonably cheap fully complete ITC Staggerwing, I just found a brand new box of the Nitto/Doyusha Akatombo floatplane for 40 dollars! Now, I just hope my MiG-19S will finally arrive... I found one in Germany whereas it seems they have totally disappeared from the surface of earth... !?!

BloorwestSiR Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I got home in time today to meet the postman who had thus for me: I've finally got a replacement for one of my grail kits. While taking a quick look through the box, I noticed a couple things. Having bought both in Canada, the new release cost me as much as my original one that came out in 1994. Yet, the old one was at least ¥12,000 cheaper (¥27,800 for the original one, ¥39,800 for the new one. Weird inflation math or something? The other thing is that Tamiya includes a colour chart for their new lacquer paints. There's 60 listed along with a reference/conversion chart to their current acrylic and enamel paints as well as their spray cans.

LSP_K2 Posted March 16, 2018 Author Share Posted March 16, 2018 I'm real anxious to try some of the Tamiya bottled lacquers. BloorwestSiR and Rick Griewski 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloorwestSiR Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 My LHS had the first twelve colours in but sold out pretty quickly. I've got the clear but haven't tried it yet. Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alaninaustria Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Hey guys are these new Tamiya laquers similar to the Gunze Mr. Color laquers?? I wouldn't mind trying them! Cheers Alan BloorwestSiR, Rick Griewski and scvrobeson 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloorwestSiR Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I think they are Alan. They do say that they're recommended for airbrush only. Carl LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl If it's the same formulation as in the spray cans, yes, airbrushing it would be the only way to go, for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
