Great score Lyle! I do hope all those supplies help out. I'll be interested in seeing how well you solder.

And that little Piper Cub ain't small! Try building it in 1/72 scale like I did... now THAT is small!

The connectors have shipped from the UK. Don't know when they will arrive.

I cannot even begin to imagine building this or any Cub in 1/72. What is it, about 4 inches?

On Hobby Day Saturday, a friend came in and visited after the local AMPS meeting that I couldn't attend. They had just had their semi-annual kit auction fund raiser. There was only one 1/72 scale kit in the mix and he got it. He handed it to me saying "You won the auction even though you weren't there"! LOL!

Here is what I "won" without being there:

I will be starting this and my T-90 with cast turret very soon! Stay tuned!

Yeah, actually just under it. It was a most interesting little project!

Okay. I'm weak. I admit it. Weak, weak, weak. Many months ago, I was looking for the Czech model UC-78. I think BlackSheep found me one up that way for around 50 bucks. I bought it. Squadron then reintroduced a less featured kit as an Encore model, got me one of those, just because. I was "just looking around" on ebay today and found a Czech Model UC-78, NIB and sealed for just under 40 with free shipping. Yes. Yes I did....I am weak.

...and I just bought the Montex masks. Did I mention I bought the Kitty Hawk 1/32 T-6? Had to have something to use them on... I need to close my ebay account. Much more coming. I think a helicopter, some AK chipping "stuff" and a 1/48 block 45 deg letter decal sheet.

I can quit anytime.

did I mention I'm weak? Went to a different Hobby Lobby today - had to run an errand which happened to be right across the street. Funny now that worked out. Guess what they had on their marked-way-down shelf? Yep. Got two of them. Regular price 39.95, these were 14.95.

Damn Lyle! Man up Bro! Nice scores, but you do realize that everything you buy you actually have to BUILD right? Git 'r Done man, or all of those will disappear again...
