F`s are my favs Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 @Eagle Driver, well, I just hope that the rumors for the F-22 in 1/32 are true ... if it really appears for the end of 2023, this would be... wonderful. I think I maybe have no other ''kit wishes'' than the F-22 in 1/32... Eagle Driver 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony T Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 On a purely pathetic selfish brat level, I'm sad that without ResKit I won't be able to turn the Bobby Hoss turd into a great 1/48 F-111E. On a human adult level I cry inside, and couldn't care less about models. I am also very cynical about all the "buy from us and we'll donate to humanitarian aid" stuff going on; just give money to church charities which don't have top-heavy admin and actually get things done. If we all live, we might get to see new kits. Que sera sera. Tony Rick Griewski, F`s are my favs, Uncarina and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Matt Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 I've hidden and edited posts the delved quite clearly into the politics of what is unfortunately transpiring. LSP isn't the place for that discussion. It's Facebook or other social media platforms where you can discuss political issues as vigorously as you like.

Kagemusha Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Just a reminder also, that we do have Ukrainian members, so let's show a bit of sensitivity, and consider the content of what's being posted - I just hid a post, which really doesn't belong here. scvrobeson, ivanmoe, F`s are my favs and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle Driver Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Just saw a post on FB that MiniArt are still there and somebody spread rumor that their factory was destroyed. Which they say is not the case. At least some good news amidst all this. Uncarina 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Model_Monkey Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 (edited) A Ukrainian hobby shop run by Alex Kelick shipped me a model (ICM 1/32 scale British pilots) as late as two days ago (12 Mar). Alex's shop has for years been understandably well-stocked with Ukrainian-made model kits (ResKit, Roden, ICM, MiniArt, etc.). He offers his products to customers outside Ukraine via eBay. I have ordered from him occasionally over the years when Ukrainian kits were out of stock with vendors closer to home. I placed an order from him a few days ago just to send him some money hoping he would be able to receive it and use it. I wrote to him and said keep the money, don't worry about sending a model, and stay safe. He wrote back, said he was still operating and so was the Ukrainian postal service at his location, and he shipped the model. Amazing. Obviously, his situation can change at any time and almost certainly will, without notice. Alex's shop is in a town called Kremenchuk, on the Dnieper River (same as Kyiv), southeast of Kyiv, southwest of Poltava, about 2/3rds of the way from Kyiv to Dnipro to the southeast along the river. His location puts him at great risk. I have no affiliation with Alex except as a satisfied long-term customer. If the admins/mods have no objection, I can post a link to his eBay shop here for any who would like to support him. Stay safe, Alex, stay safe.

MARU5137 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 (edited) So I was reading a thread over on ARC.. and an Ukrainian artist who used to paint kit boxes has been killed. I am sure WE all have a kit it two with his "signature" painting on the box. He worked for RODEN. His name Valery Grigorenko. Rest in Peace. scroll down where it mentions it and ChukW's contribution. ChukW mentions a book as a way of contributing to helping the Ukrainian nation .. http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/index.php?/topic/315599-by-jove-grummans-toothy-mohawk-jov-1a/page/3/&tab=comments#comment-3074145 The book.swipe right to left to see more pages. https://m.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=4927349407356235&id=321848837906338&set=a.330179900406565&source=57&refid=13&__tn__=%2B%3D Edited March 14 by MARU5137 chukw, Scotsman, F`s are my favs and 11 others 3 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
