The P-51 and A-10 are screaming, but the F-35 is just above stall speed

Re: Latest Acquesitions - pt.3
Yeah, if the P-51 went to full throttle, I doubt that the A-10 could have kept up… the F-35 would yawn…

Oh yeah? Well the A-10 would just gun them both down as they passed it.Stikpusher wrote: ↑Fri Jan 31, 2025 3:07 pm Yeah, if the P-51 went to full throttle, I doubt that the A-10 could have kept up… the F-35 would yawn…

Traded a couple 1/72 helos (I had a change of plan) with Mark for this 1/48 Tamiya A-1J he won in a raffle(Mark doesn't do 1/48) -win/win.
I've done the Navy version of this, looking forward to an AF version.

Re: Latest Acquesitions - pt.3
Nice score John! Gotta love the Sandy
This past Saturday was Modelzona and I picked up these three items from the vendors.
I had been looking for the Ambulance for many years, and this one was reasonably priced. And the Scorpion was a real bargain, comic with a set of Fruil tracks. The Miniart figures were just a great additional useful find.

Never seen that ambulance but it kinda screams for a dio. Scorpion looks pretty mean.

Nice score, stik!
I haven't seen that ambulance kit in years. The Scorpion kit looks like a beast.

Re: Latest Acquesitions - pt.3
Great score on these, Carlos. That ambulance is hard to find even at ridiculous prices! Now I want one!

I had a chance to grab on at an Antique mall in Oneida couple years ago. Cheap too. Should grabbed it.

Re: Latest Acquesitions - pt.3
John that kit is a rebox of an old Peerless/Max kit, part of their WC series of kits. But in 1/35 it’s pretty much still the only game in town. Yes a diorama with it would be great. Using a MASH chopper or maybe the Italeri medic jeep…
Italeri has reissued the Ambulance a few times since the Testors days, but it’s always a short run. If they were to re pop it again, it’s a sure moneymaker for them due to its scarcity. The Scorpion kit looks sweet when you open it up. I do wish that AFV would come out with the rest of the CVR family besides the Scimitar.BlackSheep214 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 04, 2025 8:31 am Nice score, stik!
