Maybe i should ask if somebody has it in the spare bin I thought we had at least one Trumpeter Skyraider review here on the site, but it looks like I was wrong. One of the kits did have the toilet though, but I don't recall which one, probably the A-1H / AD-6 kit would be my guess. Neo and mpk 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radders Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 I've had a bit of a mad year already this year (and making the most of my busy period within work..), having sold off a lot of my stash a year ago and having sold off some kits I probably won't be able to replace (they were quite rare), so I've just bought some stuff that I have a big interest in... unusual, German and Russian/Soviet types. This is it now for a long time... Only 1 LSP though, the He-219... but what a lovely kit. Amodel Sukhoi T-4 1/72 Myasishchev M-50 1/72 Bobcat IL-28 1/48th Bronco German oil drums 1/48th Dragon Ju-88/Fw-190 Mistel 1/48th Eastern Express Wilga 1/72nd Eduard Fw-190 A8 'weekend edition' 1/48th Fujumi Alouette III 1/48th Hasegawa Aichi E13A1 Type-Zero 'Jake' w/catapult 1/72nd P2V-7 Neptune 'VSA' 1/72nd TA-4J Skyhawk 1/48th Hobbycraft Cutlass 1/48th Monogram B-29 1/48th Revell He-219 A7 1/32nd Bv222 1/72nd C-160 1/72nd C-160 1/100th Bachem Natter (ex-Dragon) 1/48th Special Hobby Si-204 Siebel 1/48th Tamiya German 3t 4x2 Cargo Truck 1/48th Needless to say, I don't need to buy anything else for a while!! But it's filled a rather large gap from previous kits... and i'm happy. mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ade rowlands Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 (edited) Some of the reasons for my Jet questions of late. Taken delivery of these this morning. For once my plan to have parcels arrive when I’m at home on my day off came good so I won’t be spending my time chasing them around various courier depots and post offices. The Dornier was a pain to track down. I know I’m late to the party for this variant and I think it was a fairly limited release as it is. I found 3 or 4 stores that claimed stock and let me order it only to get an email 2 or 3 days later to say they didn’t. That’s one of my major bug bears. If you don’t have something in stock, don’t list it! I know a lot don’t hold physical stock, you order it then they order from their suppliers but it’s just frustrating. I eventually tracked one down from a Spanish web store who actually had it, seemingly their last one so it’s all good. Shipping was very reasonable for its size too, unlike some who wanted €50/60 for shipping alone (whether they actually had the kit or not is another thing).

mpk Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Very nice. I have that Iwata. I use it alongside my Custom Micron. Nice choice Ade. Iwata has a special tool for removing the cap. Before I knew about it I had broken my tip. Using the tool I have not had a problem. These just arrived.

I think all kits have it because as far as I know the weapons sprues were the same ones in all releases. mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess trumpeter tought it was important to balance loads !! Uncarina, mpk and LSP_K2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
