Re: Latest Acquisitions:
Nice decals! When are you going to do the Scorpion? I'd love to see that build. I had the kit but sold it a few years back when I was out of the hobby for a bit.
Thanks,
John

Re: Latest Acquisitions:
Tom and John, thank you.
John, I was thinking about building the F-89 later this year or early next year. No hard date yet. I have a few projects to knock out first before I think that far ahead.

A couple of new ones for me.. I'm sensing a theme developing

Nice scores Stuart! I sense that ‘80’s era ‘teen superfighters in the theme...

Some guy on eBay from France. I just searched for 1/48 matra super 530, and that’s what came up. Nobody makes the things! Now I can build my Iraqi Mirage F1.

Re: Latest Acquisitions:
lol! Yeah, I've now got all the main 80's/90's era ''Fighters'', bar the F-4G, F-111 and F-15E. I know the CJ is a bit out of that period but I wanted to have another go at that kit.Stikpusher wrote:Nice scores Stuart! I sense that ‘80’s era ‘teen superfighters in the theme...

Re: Latest Acquisitions:
When I was a teenager and this kit came out, my friend got it, and I thought that it was a pretty cool build. It was much nicer than my Hawk 1/48 F-104 kits that I had at the time. I’ve bought other better F-104s since then, but have always wanted to try my hand on this one, so I keep scanning eBay from time to time. I put this one on my watch list, and a day or two later the seller sent me a 25% off offer, and who am mai to say no to such a deal.
Of course with shipping it cost far more than the original 1977 sticker price...
I plan on building this as a G, since I already have a C built and another in my stash.

Re: Latest Acquisitions:
So it has the tail pieces to make either an A/C or a G? That's pretty cool Carlos. I'd like to make a C-model at some point, to represent the ones that were shipped to Europe during the troubles in Berlin.

Re: Latest Acquisitions:
Nice stuff gents.
Saw one of these built recently (maybe here) and it sparked my interest as I have a budding 'fire fighting' collection. Had no idea how big she is - looks like it's all there despite the box damage. Now I have 4 ships in the collection
