  1. I found some stuff about a radial bf109 I think it's interesting. I'd like to do one and would like to know if anyone is familiar with it to suggest what other planes I might steal the engine and cowl from to do it or at least have a suggestion. Thanks for your time and info. Plus I've had problems getting on my stupid pad and older phone died. I hope everyone had a great Christmas and new year . And I hope we beat this stupid covid soon it's getting ridiculous.
  2. Been surfing the web looking for new stuff for my wish list. Saw ads for SU152 but as usual they were ISUs, when are these guys going learn what they are selling. The first one was a takara ISU got at least ten had a blowout sale on takara numerous vehicles 2.59-3.50 must have spent 200. Got a bunch of panther, tiger I and ii, jag IV, nashorn, pzkw III, hetzer, Sherman's. The second advwas a 3d printed model. My KVI conversion is looking good just have to finish the gun mount want to make my gun able to elevate. Saw on hobbysearch Japan f- toys has a bunch of new sets, M3lee, centurion, IS3, bronco, Corsair, hind A, all on the top of my list. Shinfen Kai jw7, orka, Sherman 76 hvss and lots more.
  3. Saw on another site some guy in England said Rlai models were the cafereo kits unpainted and unassembled. Said they were cheap and everywhere. I have check a number of online shops and can't find any listings. Are these kit still out there and where???
  4. Thanks for the tip didn't know that have to check it out. Have a great day Pro
  5. I'm not sure how good the A model kit is building a C123 from them, detail work not bad but doing a lot of work getting the parts to match up correctly. Got one of the ftoys chased that one on eBay kept getting out bid got a bunch of ftoys at a kit show some guy was selling all ftoys for five bucks got like ten, the Lancaster was one and a corsair and several I didn't have. That's for the info have a great day
  6. L. 😤The only Lancaster in my scale 1/144 is the merlin engine one by crown..revell, academy and minicraft. I got a conversion guide from I think it was fine scale to convert a Lancaster to Manchester the wings are coming along the engine rebuild is tedious. Anyway I would like to build the radial engine Lancaster. Would I be out of line to use the engine and cowling from my beaufighter and mate it to my old crown kit. What's the thought here and any suggestions would be appreciated Pro
  7. Great to hear wondering why the web site was so out of date. Good don't have to go on a panic buying spree.
  8. Mark one is a Czech company they have some pretty decent kits I have a couple of their kits like the beaufighter Mk via. I was trying to see what new boxings I may have missed but the web site hasn't been updated in a while and cannot find anything on the web. Thanks for your time
  9. Hello Jeff do you have any knowledge and sources for the hog islanders, I carved a hull for a B and A hull. There was supposed to be a, C type as well but if they were built it was at another yard. Catch you later
  10. Hope everyone had a great Easter weekend Prospero says may you all be prosperous
  11. I'm working on a couple of hogs and can't find enough info on the gun platforms, the shape and placement. Is there any drawings or overhead photos anywhere? Would appreciate any information. Thanks for your time Pros
  12. Hey Jeff, sounds like we did have similar wives, I'm happy without her, funny I was discussing her last week and I had trouble remembering her name. What scale and subjects are you into. I'm mostly into 1/144 military aircraft and vehicles and 700 ships.
  13. Did your ex start throwing kits in the trash, my ex was a real witch I was sorting through my collection and she grabs some kits and throws them in the trash and takes one and rips the box in half. I never should have told her how much money I was making on my EBay sales and bought more stuff and shipping it to my folks house.
  14. Hello and happy easter, I used to have a guy in Germany who was big in 1/144. Unfortunately I have lost all contact info when my PC crashed. I sold lots of kits to him when I was selling on eBay. I had well over a thousand kits maybe even close to two thousand. Sold over half my wife now ex used to start these stupid fights over my collection telling me stupid stuff like there junk for kids I need to grow up and throw them away if I loved he I'd get rid of them like what a witch my final papers came in last year. Sold mostly all 144 scale some 700 scale ships and some rare collectable books like first printing of German encyclopedia of tanks, Pershing book, others. Miss some of those kits got them wen I was in Jr college most cost ,2-5 dollars can't believe how much they are now. Well you must be happy that a number of companies have been doing lots of new 48 scale subjects. Anyway check out hobby search Japan they have an extensive list and scale mates usually has a great data base for kits and manufacturers. Take care from sunny California USA Prospero Tadashi Quevedo PS great your sharing your hobby with your son I can't wait to teach my grandnephews how to build modern but have to wait a few more years as they are two and three right now.
