LSP_K2 Posted February 28, 2021 Author Share Posted February 28, 2021 Yet another impulse buy (perhaps a bit too impulsive), is this oldie moldy Revell Oscar. Box is a bit trashed, but kit is 100% complete and fine. Debatable if I'll ever build it or not, but that's never stopped me from buying kits before. coogrfan, mpk and Hartmann352 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted February 28, 2021 Author Share Posted February 28, 2021 And a couple more books that arrived last week. I'd been after the Albatros book for a while, the other one, not so much, but they were sold as a pair, and at a real reasonable price, so I snatched them both. coogrfan and mpk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thierry laurent Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 The Hasegawa kit is finer. If you have the choice, get the Japanese kit. mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I'd really prefer, is for Hasegawa to revisit the subject and get us a revised tool, or new Oscar. mpk, thierry laurent, scvrobeson and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpk Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 I built the Hasegawa here. Indeed, it was my first completed kit following my "insane" thread. It needs to be re-tooled. Pup7309 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Kevin Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 I'm not sure this is going to make anyone jealous, but its arrival does make me extremely happy! Kev coogrfan, Thomas Lund, BloorwestSiR and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_K2 Posted March 2, 2021 Author Share Posted March 2, 2021 Cool kit, Kev. Did you say this is or is not better than the Horizon kit? And yes, I am indeed jealous. There are still three Horizon kits that I want (perhaps four now), and I think they're all great. mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted March 2, 2021 Author Share Posted March 2, 2021 While I was expecting this, I didn't really hope to see it today, but sure enough, it showed up. One of the provisions of this deal for me, is that I review the kit for the site, so I'll be knocking that out in the next week or so. The kit already had some delightful AM included, and I'll be tossing more into it when the time arrives. Thanks a ton, Ray, you are indeed the man. (Now I feel compelled to also chase down an Avenger.) Uncarina, scvrobeson, Thomas Lund and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev I'm jealous! I built the old Horizon vinyl one when it first came out. I had a hard time keeping it together nevermind standing upright. I missed out on the Argonauts one when that was available. Hope they do a Cain. Carl mpk and LSP_Kevin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the most part, I can do without all the Eduard frills, but would like a set of canopy masks (assuming they made them), and if they did, can probably easily source them from feepay or someplace when the time arrives. I'll also throw some Master MG barrels in, as well as any decent wheel replacements, and probably new decals, but that's more than likely about it. While they're utterly gorgeous on the finished model, I'll absolutely not be getting the rivet set. mpk and Rick Griewski 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
