Trak-Tor Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Look what have I found last weekend burried deep under the pile of old stuff back in the house. Almost forgot about this one. Bought in my teenage years... And with a small easter egg inside... Well, not a big thing, but it made me smile for a while...

Gerhard Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 (edited) 1/72 Lanc vs the 1/.32 Hachette kit: I posted on the SAAF forum about the upcoming HKM 1/32 Lancaster, and one of the members sent me a message that he has the whole series above, all 125 issues. They are mine if I want them. He will never build it. He did the first 80 pages of the instructions, of which there are just over 800. Picked it up last night. He even gave me the tool kit!!! Very happy I am and certainly a whole new challenge for me. Will post some pics this weekend. (Does this qualify as a LSP build) *** I borrowed the images from WW2Aircraft.net Edited July 20, 2018 by Gerhard scvrobeson, Bill_S, Jeff and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And YES, for sure this qualifies as an LSP build. If its 1/32nd, no matter the medium, it qualifies. Jeff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@ntoine Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 The plastic side of last weeks arrivals. Something to do with Vietnam, it seems. scvrobeson, Michael931080 and LSP_K2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@ntoine Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Sales time a my LHS. An average 25€ less on the normal price for each kit. Rick Griewski, Paramedic, LSP_K2 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Great find! That P-40 kit comes with some cool artwork, but was a tad overpriced at last years US Nationals. LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_K2 Posted July 25, 2018 Author Share Posted July 25, 2018 This arrived today, and is a kit that I've wanted for a very long time, but never seemed to get around to purchasing. Through a deal with a fellow LSP guy (thanks a ton, Mike), I've now finally got one. The kit also included some nice Eduard stuff, so I'm already ahead of the curve there.

Out2gtcha Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Good find K2. I have the Trumpy labeled version of this kit, and the P-38 is surprisingly big in 1/32nd. AAMOF, the P-38 is actually very nearly the same size as the F7F, with the Tigercat being slightly longer, and the P-38 having a slightly wider wingspan. Start a WIP!

I already chased down the California Cutie decals for this, but have no idea when I'll begin it, as I'll be cranking away on a 1:24 Bf 109G-14 very, very soon, and that will be getting most of my attention for a while.

Indeed, same as the previous P-47 rebox from Ed. Usually priced around 85/90€ over here, and got it for +/- 60€, which is fine to me. The boxart print is nice, as well as the metal plate, but this last item could have been left aside to lower the price. Or at least Ed could have made two version of the package, with or without.

LSP_K2 Posted July 31, 2018 Author Share Posted July 31, 2018 Another nice book arrived today. While it is hobby related (just not this particular hobby), I wanted to show it off anyway. Overall, this seems to be a quite excellent reference, and comes highly recommended. Out2gtcha and Gigant 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
