Ah, embarrassment of riches. what are you going to do with the overage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Williams Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 (edited) Probably eventually get around to dumping them. I’ll likely wait and see what options are on the upcoming Caracal decal sheet, as well as what sprues and leftovers are in the new kits to determine what boxings to get rid of.

John1 Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Caracal Decals announced they are doing a sheet for the Takom kit. 10 "interesting" US Army subjects and a partial selection of stencils. Pretty stoked to hear this. Werner's Wings has also indicated that they are doing a sheet, their stuff is high quality, but it seems to take quite a long time to actually get to market. Whoever releases their set first will get my $. Now if some of the printed resin parts I'm seeing on the Apache FB page make it out for sale, I'll be ready to pull the trigger on this build.

They include the helmet sensor units, which supposedly weren’t on the -E, but were on the -D. Makes me wonder what they used as a reference.

Having what feels like you telling me off for raising something that you as a group have discussed before, it feels like you pointed out I should have known better and not said a thing. The attitude on this forum stinks at times, I think I'll just leave you, the group to chat amongst yourselves and avoid wasting my time coming back. There's a far friendly site for large scale modellers which contains all of the ex-LSP forum members that have left here for the same reason.

Dave just wanted to stress this has been already mentioned whereas the LSP rules strictly mention politics should stay out of range. Every western modeller may do whatever he wants with his money and more particularly with regard to Russian products. John1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ratio of good conversation to snarkyness on this site has always been impressive. For someone to get offended and leave is just downright sad.
