This little bundle of joy arrived for me the other day, from my best friend Mr. Japan, or as I like to call him, Hobby Link! Just couldn't help myself, already got one of these, but they are so far beyond gorgeous, I had to get another! For the sci-fi nutters amongst us, it's hard to go past the Hasegawa Macross range. This is my latest addition. Thinking about doing this in US Navy colours.... Also picked up a bunch of Detail Up sets for my plethora of Tamiya F-16's. These sets contain all the fuselage stiffening plates in etched metal, as well as turned metal AoA sensors and a turned metal pitot. And all for under 10 bucks each. Sweet! Also picked up one of these sets (already have one). As far as I know, they are OOP, so was chuffed to grab this. Will be used on one of my Tammy F-16's to convert it to an aggressor bird... Airfix's sublime little Gloster Gladiator in 1/72. Airfix really seem to outdo themselves (and nearly everyone else!) with each new release. This is no exception. A joy in plastic!! And finally, Hasegawa's brand spankin' new MV-22 Osprey. Fan-bloody-tastic!! It's yer typical Hasegawa fare, a little bare inside, but the external detail is absolutely gorgeous! First test fit indicates she will go together extremely well, and above all, we finally have an accurately shaped, up to date Osprey with all the correct lumps and bumps to indicate a non-prototype version! As this is helicopterish, I thought it would fit in nicely with my other whirly birds! All in all, pretty happy with this little haul! Cheers, Sam

Holy spit Sam, I think you get the award for most kits in one purchase. That's a sweet lot my friend, and I'm not a wingy guy

Hi Bill, I've got a kit to suggest that I just bought but the manufacturer (Protar) is not listed in the drop down menu. Here's the details : Kit # 11299
Manufacturer : Protar
Kit Name : BMW R 1200 C
Scale : 1/9I believe Protar is Italian This is the box I wasn't sure if I could complete the suggestion without the manufacturer being listed ? Yes, you can use the Other/OOP option for makers that aren't in the drop-down, then choose the appropriate catalog or closest match, and then just include the brand and scale in the kit name box and I can process it.

Doh, I'm such a div at times. I should'a figured that one out Bill, thanks for the answer and sorry to waist your time buddy. No worries Boo! All taken care of, it's been added under a new catalog, Protar 1:9 Motorcycles for you.

Boo, as an owner of said beast, drop me a PM with your opinions on the kit please? Right, not so much a latest acquisition but more a piece of loft insulation that hasn't seen the light of day in a long, long time. Scarce when they were new, über scarce now unless you have lots of pennies... Coming to a forum near you soon.

Boo, my pleasure sir! The same thing happened to me when I got mine organized as well...found things I'd forgotten I had! Speaking of that, the latest victim arrived today...it's Rob's fault but at least it's German!

Holy spit Sam, I think you get the award for most kits in one purchase. That's a sweet lot my friend, and I'm not a wingy guy Thanks mate, I reckon it must be pretty close to my record. Personally, I blame HLJ and their pesky "Private Warehouse" option!! At least, thats my excuse and I'm sticking to it!! Cheers, Sam

Bet you $5 it will be something so Germany... That's an easy bet Andy, look at the box above! German 'Narvik-class' Z-38 Destroyer will be the ship of choice...and I couldn't stand doing it OOB so I also ordered an Eduard detail set that provides the missing railings...think of them as the 'tracks' for this build.

The real thing or the kits? The tonnage is it's Hauling capacity loaded, as is all commercial vehicles. The GVW of this Tractor and trailer is 85,000 lbs or one M60 Tank. The Tractor and Trailer both run 4 axles.

Ha! Sorry man I meant the kits. They must be pretty heavy compared to styrene.

Went to Home Depot to buy a new set of basement window and they threw in a kit for free! Well, my wife did't fall for that story but It has been a while since I bought home a kit. Remember the WWII German helmet incident the wife made me not to buy more kits til Christmas or so. I couldn't help... stopped by hobby store just to buy brass rods for the bust and some paint. There was a huge sale... $33 for this kit I couldn't resist. Its Bill's fault for building it recently and of course its Dicky's fault because I had to get a Trumpeter kit!!!
