  1. Yes, the Japanese version is the orange box art I believe
  2. Thank you guys
  3. Good job LG, I see you used Model Master Lacquer , how did you like?, that is I think my favorite color from that line
  4. Cool , the Welly Tahoe's are pretty nice
  5. Cliff, no P/E but thought about it, I think I am going to order another one and the get the P/E for that one, I just got taking the pics of the kit , will get them posted
  6. Yes sir, will be using Scale Finishes paint
  7. The kit only arrived an hour ago , so soon
  8. I dont think I am can hold off waiting to build this one, yes, I am like a kid with a new toy, gotta play with it right away, so for now, just a pic of the box And here is the paint that I will using
  9. Box two hot off the FedEx Sprinter Van
  10. I paid $44 for mine, no tax, no shipping, since we are having a measuring contest
  11. Dragon kit, Tamiya paint, I think was Bare Metal Silver, other then that, not much to say.
  12. Let me add to this , one other thing is that people expect that , or they know that is how a good portion of kits from the Japanese companys are going to be.
  13. The trailer is 99.9% scratch built from sheet plastic, the only kit parts are tires/wheels, so as they say, its a one off build
  14. Yes, that should work
  15. Box one of two arrived today via FedEx, I was doing two separate shipments to keep the shipping cost down (23 items gets expensive), and I process both at the same time, but a computer error happened with the second shipment, and went out on Monday, so I have 7 more kits in-transit
  16. I see what you are talking about first hand locally with younger builders fleeing, and its very sad to be honest, the attitude alone from a lot of the age demo graphic is enough to send kids or young adults running, I have seen it ruin a so called "friendship" here over different thoughts and ideas and interest with stuff pertaining to the hobby, and that is sad, as we are just building models. But the other thing that I see that might be a big part of keeping kids/younger builders away is the way some guys in the hobby act like its "their hobby",and they dont want no young wipper snappers coming along and wanting to be different or what have you. Its sort of like these guys act like its an elite club and you better like to build what they do, and have the same interest as they and have the same opinions about everything else in life , the entire mindset of the hobby is bad, and that is not going to be very inviting to younger builders. And , lets look at the other aspect, you cant make kids want to build models, they have to "want to", so it doesnt matter how many kits Revell does that are aimed at the younger builders, if there is not interest, its not going to happen. I will say that my local clubs here do a wonderful job at trying to get the kids interested with "Revell's Make And Take" program, there are I believe three times in the Phoenix Metro area that we do them, twice at the GoodGuys show, and one during Desert Scale Classic , and I must say that all the guys that volunteer do a wonderful job with helping the kids.
  17. James Hinchcliffe and that Juan driver that hit a jet dryer , Juan Montoya is back in open wheel driving for Team Penske for 2014 I named two, do I get a prize now?
