SMA What's New In Your Stash?!?

[the Baron]

Nice score, PM! The Hawk P-47D is a fun kit, with its parts to make either the razorback or bubbletop.

My boss gave me these this morning.

You have your boss well trained.

I have seen that the revell kit is OK except that if you are going for an accurate build then you will need to add some extra trims and fill some big gaps. Also seems to have a huge amount of ejection marks and sink marks so got alot of filling, sanding and cleaning to do before I get to build it.

Still, isn't that the challenge and satisfaction of getting it better than before. It would just be a quick, bit boring build, if it almost fitted together without the slightest bad joint or mismatched seam. I prefer it rough and ready, much more fun and patience required. Pantherman

Look what just landed in my stash. It's the birthday boys present...... Pantherman

I've got a revell F14a in my stash (been there a while to if I recall correctly).

I've heard very good things on the Tamiya F-14 Tomcat kit. One of the better Tomcat kits out there.

I have seen online a builder saying that he could almost build the kit without any glue as the engineering was that good.

I will let you know when I start building it.

This kit showed up out of nowhere today. I don't remember ordering it. Must have been on autopilot.

Early Father's Day present, I'll do it up as Bud Anderson's "Old Crow".

Went to the hobby shop saturday, picked up some paint that I needed and these kits just leaped into my basket



I went to build one a while ago, and finally decided to torpedo it. Nothing git right and there were large holes in the deck where nothing went.







And believe it or not these are going to be the first 2 WW2 Japanese fighter planes I have ever built, I don't know why but they are.

Before they leapt into the cart, did they jump around your feet like good little puppies?

Nope they just screamed build me! and leaped into the cart, I guess they know a softy when they see one.

Yep I know I've been following it, and I think you've been doing a good job on it.

I remember the that model from my youth, however I think mine was an AMT brand.
