dutik Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Caution! Flying Daggers! Got Aztec decals for Argentinian Mirages and Daggers and a pitot tube too: Have two Mirage kits in the stash (one in blue styrene... Yeah! Flying Smurfs ahead ). Will look for conversion sets. They pop up at the Bay from time to time. If you have a surplus one - I am listening. Or maybe I will just wait until the new III E kit hits the shelfes. But only if it doesn't take that long to miss the 35th anniversary 2017... - dutik Kagemusha and BradG 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloorwestSiR Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Don't know if this will make anyone jealous but these arrived today: I think my favorite is the Darth Vader one. Or maybe the Storm Trooper... Carl Hartmann352 and BiggTim 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmthamade Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Nothing to do with models, but i had to buy a new upper tool box for my roll cab at work. This meant the 55"x24" stainless steel top could no longer be used. Brought it home and it replaced the old wood top i was using for part of my work bench. This also was the time to extend the bench another two feet. Man, it looks good!! Will also make cutting masking tape easy. Now i need to start building again!!

dutik Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Thank you for pointing to the offer! Spotted them yesterday (I knew they show on Ebay in regular intervals, so I awited them) and ordered what needed to make an in-flight Dagger (nose and exhaust sets). Also donated some money to Paul Fisher for a cockpit set Don't want to wait that long until the announced III E kit hits the shelves (if ever, who knows...). I will start my own Mirage build when summer and tourist season is over. Flying Daggers ahead! As for my other Revell Mirage in the stash: Well, I think I will look for some time for an Isracast set to make a Kfir, C-7 preferably. Lets face ist: The overall price to do so might be the same regardless if you add the OOP Isracast set to a cheap Revell kit or go with a not-so-cheap new Mirage III E or Kfir C-1 kit and add a yet to be released conversion set... But if I am not able to lay my hands on an Isracast set in near future I shall follow your good advise Regards - dutik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_K2 Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 That's just awesome. One of these days I'll attend the airliners international convention again,... tons of cool stuff to be found there. (I've already added this event to my personal calendar, as my roommate, who is a rabid airliner guy, and myself, may make the trip next year. I haven't been since the event was hosted in St Louis several years ago.) Verbeek 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 So I've spoilt myself to some new kits and these arrived from Japan this week. First Up - I think Im turning Japanese Fujimi 1/350 Hiryu and Shokaku kits. These are the premium kits with all of the Fujimi Photoetch Metal Barrels and Deck Masks. Sadly the Fujimi wooden deck sets are not included. Hasegawa 1/350 IJN Carrier A/C sets x 8 (I know have 14 sets...!) A set of Fujimi 1/350 D3a Val's - Hasegawa 1/350 wooden deck set and some names plates fo my 1/350 Akagai and Kaga kits The Doyusha 1/100 A6m Zero set - this is pretty cool. And finally a Hasegawa 1/48 D3a Val - and I'm still deaming of one of these in 1/32, come on Hasegawa...pleeeeaasssee Next up are the new Star Wars kits by Bandai, these are really detailed kits and IMO better than the FInes Molds kits from a few years ago. The scout trooper with speeder bike is pretty wicked. And finally to cap off this splurge are these from Tamiya....... andromeda673, Verbeek and Anthony in NZ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
