Agent G Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I broke down and got this. It fits with my North Africa Campaign build theme. G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadrunner Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Awesome model, G, the best 109's on the market, as I hear it. Sooner or later, I'll be grabbing an E-4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustang1989 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 (edited) Wayne: I've never built a Cyber Hobby kit yet but have heard some good things about it. I've been mostly prone to the F-K series of 109 but as of late I've been eyeing the earlier birds and have recently acquired a C model. I'd be very interested in following this build whenever you get around to it. Jeremy: I think I've built that kit before. As I remember it was a pretty straight forward build that even has the option to show off some engine detail and a panel that can be opened up on the port side below the cockpit. In any case, cool score dude. Kevin: Umm I dunno bout dat! lol Will be watching for that "4" to be built.

atomicholiday Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I like that I can find the Revogram stuff cheap, but I'm thinking about stepping it up a bit for the next purchase. Might start looking for something from Eduard or Hasegawa. Just to see what the fuss is all about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang1989 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 You're gonna like what you see if you do that. I'm all in for a good 'ol Revellogram build but these other companies have really got their act together. I will say that Revell as of late has been upping the ante.

cobraman Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Just a little 1/72 kit so it isn't very detailed but it also won't take up very much space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yes, their 1:32 Ju 88A-4 is outstandingly cool. Anybody else I should be thinking about checking out? Tamiya pops to mind. Most of their 1:48 scale stuff, especially the newer generation kits, are well detailed and engineered, generally accurate, and basically fall together with very little effort.

Roadrunner Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 A very generous gift from a very good friend, that happened upon a fantastic deal on the kit. Still shrink wrapped, and fairly hefty, I'm very much looking forward to peeking inside the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be looking for this WIP. I knew about this kit but had forgotten..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustang1989 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 And Jeremy busts out with a Tamiya Corsair. Man are you ever gonna be glad you did that. I picked these up at the IPMS Houston Model Mania show over the weekend. This , I got a deal on: And don't EVEN ask how much I gave for this one!

mustang1989 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 (edited) I've got my Bf109 G-6 and my Ford F-100 to finish and I'm fairly certain I'll be tackling that 229 first. Edited April 28, 2015 by mustang1989 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomicholiday Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 (edited) Sweet planes! Looking forward to the 229. Edited April 28, 2015 by atomicholiday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalhead Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 I just ordered the hobbyboss F3H-2 Demon, the YF-23, and the Academy F-4B. All in 1/48. Looking forward to building the F-4. I have heard many great things about this kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petetrucker07 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 After seeing what this is going for on ebay. I couldn't pass this up for what I paid for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Not a model but with all the aerospace models above it fits right in... I just got this, a real original flown Graf Zeppelin postcard. What makes this one special is the US 65 cent Zeppelin stamp. I just love history I can hold in my hands! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomicholiday Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Got this today. Now I see what all the fuss is about with Eduard kits. This thing is really sweet. Probable the best engraving I've ever seen. And I don't see any flash that needs trimming anywhere. Never had a kit this clean. Also comes with a nice photo-etch set, decals for multiple versions, canopy masking, nose weight, and some other "film" that I have no idea what to do with yet. If you're into planes and you haven't yet, you need to check out an Eduard Profipack kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang1989 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Good score Jeremy! I think Eduard is ahead of the game in a lot of areas, but that's just my opinion. I've built their Fw190 A8/R2 which some just flat out consider "unbuildable" and over engineered but turn out awesome builds if the builder just sticks with it, and now have their Hellcat Profipak kit and that thing looks great. I've read all the reviews and have watched folks build these things in group builds on other forums and had to have one. I liked what I saw so much that I bought two!!! Can't wait to see you start this one bud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomicholiday Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 ...and now have their Hellcat Profipak kit and that thing looks great. I'll let you in on a secret. I've got one of those coming too. F6F-5 late model. Should be here sometime in the next couple of days. I watched a John Wayne movie recently with him flying a Hellcat and I knew I had to have one. And I'm sorta on the prowl for a good deal on an Eduard Mirage kit. Love the look of that plane. Man I really need to stop buying and start building...
