Re: Italeri 1/72 Lockheed C-130K/ C.1

Oooohhh you dont see many C-130 builds. The RNZAF still flies them. They ordered a bunch of new ones and the opposition govt went "Hang on, lets put this out to tender" and everyone went "Are you dumb?" and they put it out for tender and ordered a bunch more C-130's. Upgrading fr...

Re: Masters of the Air

Been watching it, been enjoying it. Spoilers ahead? There were 2 scenes that i was really disappointed in. The first, when Biddick crash landed in Scotland. That CGI plane looked awful.

Re: Im back, from the other side of the planet.

Thanks all. I went with model air to use in my airbrush. Ive got 2 sitting in a crate in a warehouse waiting for a ship to come over. And an el cheapo in the closet that came with the little compressor I got. Tamiya seems to be available still, but vallejo is easier to get. Ill keep primer in mind. ...
