No pic as I put it to use straight away: got myself a Harder & Steenbeck Ultra AB with 0.2 and 0.4 nozzle/needle - what I particularly like is the self-centering nozzle, no more cracking due to screwing in/out. Works like a dream too!

Chaos - You get so much really interesting stuff but I do worry that you have the sickness. Your buy to build rate is getting way out of sinc.
Why is it that most model builders ( myself included ) spend more time shopping than building. It is like the hobby is the shopping but we occasionally build something to try to justify it.

I had a hand full of $5.00 off coupons that were soon to expire, so I decided to buy one more kit. (note: I have two AMK Tomcats coming in December and a small handful of ZM kits slated for late in the year) Looking and looking, I picked of the Kitty Hawk OV-10a with the idea of doing a DaNang bird to go with another Phu Bai OV-1 I've been planning for awhile. Zacto will be doing a new 1/48th scale OV-10a, and I'll be all over that one as well.
Been slowly (as in very slow) moving kits to the garage for an up and coming remodel upstairs. I already had close to two hundred kits in the garage, and there's probably another 350 to 400 kits yet. I think I'm going to get rid of a hundred or so this fall. When I do, I'll make a wish list post asking what your looking for? If I got it, I'll make you an offer you just can't refuse. (think extremely cheap!) Right now I'm finding kits that I have almost zero interest in (mostly WWII), and a bunch of WWI kits in 1/48th. gary

I LOVE these old birds. I logged around 900 flight hours in these and will forever think of these as the "Iron Duke" of all helicopters:

Judging by the price in Deutsch Marks this is from the last millennium - converts to over 5€ in today's money. Scored for a euro plus 1.45 postage:

A real bargain Dierk! Not to mention the 'antique' value of that price tag.

I picked up a 1/48th Trumpeter F106a (never realized it was that big!), and a 1/32 Hasegawa George prototype #6. Found them in a 50% off stack at Hobby Town. The Hasegawa kit will need new decals, and they are getting bad already. gary

well, over the last couple weeks I've managed to get the urge to build a Ta154 in the back of my head. I found the Dragon 1/48th kit (very similar to the Promodeler) came with radar whiskers (that's what they look like to me anyway)made of photo etch. I also bought the Tamiya 1/48th Ki61 Hien. Nice kit, but have some reservations about the engine. Week before I found the new Revell Spitfire IXc in 1/32 scale. $29!!!!! Looks very nice, contrary to what the fan boys say. Then I bought another Airfix B17g. I really could have done without that kit, as I don't really like much about it.
So to further confuse this mess, I find a very dusty Promodeler TA154 kit way back in my stash. Can't quite reach it yet, as the box is falling apart. Now I have two of them. Still that's the rules of the game. gary

According to what I have read on the web, you may be very disappointed with the T54E1. Worse than Dragons usual instructions, a almost terminally malformed turret. Check out the comments on amps-armor.com Talk more soom, Joel.
