This kept screaming at me for 3 days to go back and buy it . . .Now it's whispering for me to build it. ARMO from Poland. Includes a link for a 3D printer file for Pilot seat and landing gear doors. Now for the Tropical Coral paint to arrive. ![](https://images14.fotki.com/v1688/photos/9/3809069/16586458/box00111200x640-vi.jpg) ![](https://images20.fotki.com/v1684/photos/9/3809069/16586458/oupMakinGilbertIslandsLate1943-vi.jpg) ![](https://images20.fotki.com/v1684/photos/9/3809069/16586458/P39Q15thFGGilbertIslands1-vi.jpg)

The voices always win with me. Ordered some of the new real color bottles from scalehobbyist. Have to say I was already not a fan of AK’s new bottles with those and first impressions aren’t any better. They’re all a mess. No sort of seal to stop them squeezing during shipping so as soon as you take the cap off paint is everywhere. I’ve decided I just don’t like dropper bottles. Got some other things I couldn’t resist either. Hobby boss F-5 is about 10 bucks so I’m going to build it all in black as the Top Gun Mig companion to my nephews recently completed F14. Bricks are for a future photo booth type display for my Indy car builds. F3000 I’ve wanted to build and Leyton House is always a great livery. And the Tyrrell was found elsewhere on the interwebs for a good price. Couldn’t resist after watching adrian29341 build his. ![](https://i.postimg.cc/j5ZK76bt/IMG-3532.jpg)

I built the Leyton house Tamiya kit a couple years back and it took an award at CAPCON Ottawa 2017 - it's such a fun kit to build and Tamiya has the turquoise already to go I think you will really enjoy the Tyrrell 023 build - it's a fantastic kit but man those decals are tricky - I took a lot of time to set mine and I picked up a decalpool version of them because the kit ones will just disintegrate on you - you will find all the tricky bits as you go but if you want any advice as to how I tackled anything feel free to ask my friend - I am sure you will knock it out of the park! I left out the Barge boards and the rear flares on mine because I had a photoetch set for the barge board supports that disintegrated as I tried to figure out the bending pattern which is like rocket science by the way, and I lost one of the plastic uprights so I could not use those and didn't feel like forking out another 80 bucks for one part. I left off the rear side fenders in order to see some of the work I put into the gear box weathering. Nice haul mate!

I’ve already found some decals for the 023 that I’ll likely go ahead and get so I’ll have them. The barge boards on this thing sure are super delicate. First thing I noticed about the car. And I have Tamiya’s Leyton House F1 car so I figured a little brother from F3000 would be fun

Just a fair warning though. I had this kit and tried to built it but it's not a good one. Gaps and steps everywhere. I ended up binning the damn thing. Of course it could have been me so who knows.

Appreciate the heads up! I looked up reviews before purchasing because the price already had me questioning the kit. Lol. Very mixed reviews for sure. I think painting it all black will help hide some of the kit deficiencies. I don’t know

That's cool . Got a link for it by chance ? Thanks and unfortunately no, I recieved the dicount via e-mail. It was easy to sign up for at HobbyTown , it is linked to your phone number and e-mail.I get many but use only a few as my local store doesn't have a great selection...sometimes really cool stuff shows up and it alines with my disposable income.

Now for the Tropical Coral paint to arrive. ![](https://images14.fotki.com/v1688/photos/9/3809069/16586458/box00111200x640-vi.jpg) ![](https://images20.fotki.com/v1684/photos/9/3809069/16586458/oupMakinGilbertIslandsLate1943-vi.jpg) ![](https://images20.fotki.com/v1684/photos/9/3809069/16586458/P39Q15thFGGilbertIslands1-vi.jpg) I really want this kit. How is it? I have an Eduard kit and I think it is pretty old kit when it is compared to new kit by Arma Hobby. I grew up in Buffalo and all P-39s were assembled at Buffalo/Niagara Falls plant!

Sorry for being slow! Work got best of me... still am working 50-60 hours a week but it will slow down soon so I can have my life back. My haul from IPMS Nats show in Madison. My budget was $250 cash so I had to control myself! My wife and I will be in England in two weeks so I am really trying to save money and it was NOT that easy!!! Damn it! I think I went over $300 with help by using my debit card. ![](https://i.postimg.cc/CxKLqPWj/temp-Image-RTyr-Ut.avif) Yep, chromdome35 twisted my arm to buy this and I am glad he did! I tested it at the booth few times and it really was amazing! Brian owes me $36 now unfortunately. ![](https://i.postimg.cc/7hDqYm3J/temp-Image2m-CCWv.avif)
I can be picky when I buy nature diorama accessories and I haven't seen anything better for fake trees than what you can buy from Bill the Tree Guy. ![](https://i.postimg.cc/DZ12TtXK/temp-Image-Of-L9-I3.avif)
Normally I only use Alpine Miniatures and few other good resin manufacturers but when I found this at the show I had to buy! A set of five figures was only $45 and their details were awesome! ![](https://i.postimg.cc/fbtzH3Wy/temp-Image-T25x-SE.avif) ![](https://i.postimg.cc/RZbCQ1B2/temp-Image-Uawxd-V.avif) ![](https://i.postimg.cc/TPzRBRh9/temp-Imager-JHi-CU.avif)
I am so glad I changed my mind to attend the Nats show or I will regret it for rest of my life.
