seiran01 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Wheels and spinners would be easy. Might need someone else to design blades for it though. I can print the blades but I've never been able to get a good design drawn. Anthony in NZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landrotten Highlander Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Hi All, looks like I am #3 in line to receive this kit - will be another three weeks Anyway, I am in for a group build, and am happy to create blades if that is needed. Can do a master in any material then cast whatever else I will be needing (I think). I recently got mesel a 3D printer, but have no time in the short term to get to grips with it (the repotting season in my Bonsai Hobby has started about 3 weeks ago, and will go on for another 3 weeks - in my collections I have done 3 pyracantha, 2 cotoneaster, 3 maples and a taxus so far, still to do 4 Juniperus, 2 maples another 2 taxus and a pine group). Each repotting is a minimum of 1 hour work, then I need to put the tools down for a day as it takes a lot of energy for me (recently became disabled and learning to get to grips with that).

She’s also busy re-potting, also starting some oaks that grew from acorns in our hedge 6 years ago so this is their first session of sorting out roots, wiring etc. Not far away is Lindsay’s “mentor” John Trott who wins gold consistently at Hampton Court, Chelsea etc with his incredible bonsai trees. Fascinating hobby and like ours, life in miniature! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iaf-man Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 I've bought from this guy before-very good fellow,and got the kits speaking of the subject-paid for the 1/48 version somewhere around Blk.Friday somehow the Japanese post lost track and the package he resent again,but the story seem to repeat itself-no information since leaving Japan just for consideration Anthony in NZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastterry Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Hey Anthony, I visited the NZ Airforce museum in Christchurch in 2011 and they were busily turning a perfectly good short tail P-40F into a P-40E. I know the RNZAF only flew P-40E's but I just wondered if you could explain this lunacy as surely a short tailed P-40F would have been pretty rare and a good bargaining chip to get a genuine P-40E. Just wondering. TRF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iain Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Indeed - but still holding my breath at this end as I'm expecting roughly £65 in customs (VAT) and Royal Mail fees... But really looking forward to it - and will make a start almost immediately. Iain Anthony in NZ and Derek B 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
