Latest Acquisitions - pt.3
Re: Latest Acquisitions - pt.3
Check out these scores 
Can't beat 3 kits for less than twenty bucks!
I'm building the B-24J for sure so I know pain is in my future, but I love it. also Love this 1970's silver Airfix plastic. Looks like all the major pieces are present but still have to do a complete parts inventory. Only one propeller blade is broken. The plastic itself looks like it has been sitting for 40 years without being disturbed. I mean, I don't see any scratches .
Might slap the Stuka together for a BOB build on "another forum"

Gotta love the classic vintage box art.

Re: Latest Acquisitions - pt.3
Those are in great shape given their age. Nice score.

If you can't fix it with duct tape, you're not using enough duct tape.

A man after my own heart Chris - I love those vintage Airfix kits and I'm definitely looking forward to seeing you work your magic on those!
I've not built any of them (yet) but actually I hear good things about the Libby and have seen a few built over the years, it's not a bad kit by all accounts - certainly Airfix were still popping it out now and then until they released their new tool kit.

3 kits for less than $20?! 
That’s quite a bargain! Good for you! I remember building several of those TBDs back long ago, but never the other two. I see many happy modeling hours ahead.

Wow - it's like 1970s prices.
I ordered this back in May from LuckyModel in China - just got here today.

That's very nice - I love the Lysander, a cracking aircraft. I saw a brilliant display by one once - very low and slow.

Re: Latest Acquisitions - pt.3
Nice stuff guys! Found this on Amazon and had to get it. It has a lot of art from Macross Plus that I can use for painting the YF-19. There's a second book with more artwork that I'll have to get.
