cobraman Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I got the Cessna 172 Float plane kit by MiniCraft that I've been eyein' for awhile. Wish that I would have taken a ride on a floatplane last summer when I was in Alaska. Are you by any chance going to build that as a diorama with it in the water ????

Roadrunner Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Nice kit, Wayne. The Dragon smart kits are great, too bad the instructions are so lousy, at least on all the smart kits that I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent G Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 It seems Dragon goes to great lengths in their attempts to screw up the instructions on nearly every kit. Good thing though, is if you build enough variations of say a Sherman, you get a basic understanding of what goes where. G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High octane Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 No Cobraman, as I'll build the plane and hang it from the ceiling of my den/hobby room just like I did with the Texan that I built last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The70judgeman Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Just came in the mail today. Got it off of Ebay. Open dented box, but everything inside is still sealed in bags and OK. It's pretty much what I drive at work and even propane fueled...a Toyota forklift. And no...I don't work in a fish market. No idea what I'm going to do with them and the bin.

Toner283 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Who makes that kit and what scale is it? Same type toyota 25 series truck I drive everyday too. Need to get me one of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atomicholiday Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Picked these up today. Got the first two at Micheal's for 50% off each and the P-61 for 40% off at Hobby Lobby. Gotta love those coupons! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustang1989 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 It wasn't today but it's been in the recent past. I've had the 1/48 HiPM version of this kit for about 17 years but when the new 1/48 Hobbyboss version came out a couple of months ago I just had to get it. It is 200% better quality over the HiPM version(and about 3 lbs lighter due to all the absence of flash! lol ).

mustang1989 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Love 'em all (the warbirds that is) and yes they did come up with some of the most far-fetched and outlandish aircraft as well has having some of the coolest camo schemes at that time.

mustang1989 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) This has been a while back but is just bizarre enough to build......................one of these days when I feel my skills have become worthy enough to build one of these. And this kit aint one for the light hearted either. The Fa-223 Drache Helicopter Edited January 21, 2015 by mustang1989 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustang1989 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) Yes siree! All kinds of frame work and bracing rods! Where in tha hell to display it would be of my greatest concern right along with having to be at a home that would be my final resting place for a long friggin time. I don't think a build like this would survive a move across the room let alone a home move!! lol Edited January 21, 2015 by mustang1989 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang1989 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I picked this up last night. Just a drop dead gorgeous kit. You've got yourself one helluva kit there Kevin! Those kits are among the best in the modeling market right now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadrunner Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I couldn't agree more, Joe. These newer generation large scale Tamiya kits, are a wonder to behold. I'm already compiling a list of AM that I'd like to eventually throw at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustang1989 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Thanks Kevin! That'll go right with the other book I've got for it. Still need to get the mask set for it. There aint no WAY I'm gonna tackle this thing without one! lol https://www.scalemates.com/books/book.php?id=102255 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadrunner Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Certainly not auto related, this was received today, the Dragon 1:6 scale 20mm Flak 38. What a very generous gesture from a forum member from another site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarana-X Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 The ol' MPC Chevelle Stock car from a LHS that is trying to bring in model builders. They mainly do R/C. And the Hasegawa 1/48 Macross Valkyrie VF-1S/A Super Valkyrie Skull Squadron I picked up at the Secret Society of Modelers yearly show at Gillespie Field I'll be very disappointed if that VF-1S/A Strike Valkyrie doesn't show up in the All The Rest sub-forum when you crack it open.
