  1. Hey, Revell put the spare tire in the Proper Place! Now, I'll have to get this one too. It looks more Like a Traditional 'Landy to me, now.
  2. Nothing 'Sick' or 'Wrong' about it to me, Snake! Genuine Survivor, and I like the stance.
  3. Roden kits can be very, very 'fiddly" to build. Fit is especially sensitive to sprue nubs that stick up, and even the smallest interference from cutting and sanding. Plus, they tend to have lots of small parts in a tiny space. You might see if you can leave out smaller, unseen or hard to see parts, to provide more clearance. Also, see if you can find somebody on Youtube, who has built that kit, and see if they had the same issues. Sadly, sometimes, it is not you, it is the kit. If you have to, fettle the parts down to get a fit. I've built some Roden 1/72 WW1 fighters (the Junkers "J" series) and the fit fought me the whole way. Other builders did not have the problems I had, so I guess I may just be 'Ham-Fisted' in my building techniques. Sorry, I could not be more help.
  4. Steve G., Will the stock tires have Wide Whites? And, Thanks for cleaning up the Chrome trees!
  5. It is old AMT, It may not fit like a Modern Kit. I still want one.
  6. Red Glass, Re-tooled Chrome! Even Better Than I had Hoped! Bring it on.
  7. Buried in all the new product photos, did anybody notice the Wompin' Wagon '55 Box Art in one display? That Box Art is hard to miss. (Original Box Art Shown) Give me this kit! 6 Fresh Tires, New Decals and all the Drag Parts! I've been waiting for Round2 to finally release this kit. It will sell Very Well, I predict.
  8. Nice! What kit did you start with?
  9. Many of those B-52's have been that way for over 35 years. I saw some of them in 1985. The intact airframes provide parts to the current fleet. (In fact, the USAF "re-generates" one of the lower time planes every now and then)
  10. Don for the Win!
  11. Very Nice Bug!
  12. I would not be Surprised if that happens down the road a ways. All these kits are chosen because of the long-term sales potential.
  13. Thank You, Snake! Can you Get one of these next please? AMT Turned it into A Mod Stocker and ruined the kit.
  14. Very Cool! I am familiar with this engine. Great Work! Hope the Surgery goes well.
  15. This Kit is almost here. I wonder what extra parts it has? Or, is everything in the other kits already, just used differently?
  16. This kit keeps getting closer to a release date. I'll have to be getting one, even if it never gets built. I want the trailer, and I may use some of the parts for other builds. I look forward to having this kit.
  17. All were products of Everett "Boxman" Westphal a great Artist. https://www.bonediggers.com/2-2/boxman/boxman.html
  18. I've never seen any of the clear Phone Booth parts. I wonder if Round2 got the tooling for those parts from Lindberg, or if that tooling is long gone?
  19. Man, I sure like the Red One, in the first Photo!
  20. That is the 309th AMARG, at Davis-Monthan AFB. That is where they store many current Airframes, awaiting either recycling or as parts for others. The place is absolutely fascinating. I got to go through it on a guided tour back in the day.
