ChrisBcritter Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I got a little money for my birthday and finally bit the bullet for this: 1/72 scale Special Hobby Douglas B-18. Mostly forgotten late '30s bomber whose main combat experience was getting shot up on the ground at Pearl Harbor and the Philippines; but I always liked the pre-WWII types. I waited 35 years for a company to produce an injection-molded kit, but the darn things were always listed at around $50-$60 or more. Finally found one with a Buy it Now price of $30 (cheapest I've seen in two years of watching them) and it's on its way to my little hangar. I don't build many planes anymore but this is an exception. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High octane Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 I ordered a couple of '65 Satellites as well as the new Revell '29 Model A Roadster kit. They'll probably just be added to the "pile" as I'm currently workin' on three models already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JollySipper Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share Posted August 26, 2015 First of the month, I'll be stocking up on some paints..... I'm out of primer and clear (can't do much without those!), and need other odds and ends, blades, tape, etc....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Revell '29 A...2 of them really. I have a very special '29 I've been putting off building for several years, and now that the Revell kit is out, I think it's gonna be the basis. Gots to have some of those other parts parts parts too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JollySipper Posted August 28, 2015 Author Share Posted August 28, 2015 I knew the 'A roadster was gonna be a big hit when they first announced it! Bill, are you going to build the track-nose roadster that you have posted here in the past? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 ... Bill, are you going to build the track-nose roadster that you have posted here in the past? Yes...I put up a shot of the real car not too long ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Geiger Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 I just got caught up last week. I got both Moebius Ford pickups, the Satellite and a '57 Ford Ranch Wagon. That leaves the new Model As... will need at least two of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemodeler Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Despite telling myself "No more models", I have found a couple of the MPC WWII Jeeps on clearance at Hobby Lobby for $14 the last two weeks and figured they were worth it for parts to fix some Jeeps already in my collection.I truly have to rid myself of some more models before I buy any more as I am trying to de-clutter my life in other areas. I am looking forward to getting some bench time here real soon, maybe getting a bunch of WIPs finished! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTalmage Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 I have reached my maximum capacity on kit storage. So no more for me for quite a while. Although if I did get another kit, it would be a 2nd 29 roadster, or the 80 ford f150 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High octane Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 With the arrival of the '65 Satellite and the Ford '29 A Roadster kits due in my mailbox soon, hopefully I'm done buyin' for awhile. I would like the '65 Comet kit, but that won't be on the shelves 'til next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent G Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 This showed up last week. I can now build tanks from both heavy tank battalions that operated in Tunisia. G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
