Cool kits Stuart!!!

Hi. My name is Mike and I'm a Gundam addict.

We'll have to send you to GA meetings!

Managed to get this on sale and a long wait for $77 all in. Now I can do all that stuff with forming. I have a ton of 3d modelled cars to print and they all need windows. And anything else I can dream up. I'm pretty happy with this one.

Is that a vacuform machine Brandon?

Yes, indeed it is.

Excellent score!

Picked up some new decals for the Airfix mk.IX Spitfire I have as I don't really like any of the options that come in the kit, or with the xtradecal sheet I purchased. I also picked up a Brengun resin smaller chord tail as the the kit only comes with the large (more pointy) one. Not sure on scheme yet - I'm torn between the D-Day striped one of the USAAF one in desert camo.

The P-51D sheet I picked up for the 'Detroit Miss' scheme after seeing the photo of Chris's excellent build in his interview. I've always liked that scheme, ever since I saw it in a RC aircraft magazine back in the 90's. Mind you, the other schemes look good as well and the decal set does actually come with the checker-board marking for options #1 and #2 as decals as well.

Oh man, those P-51 decals are awesome. Nice score.

Yeah those checkered nosed Mustangs are cool. I amcurious if it's just the black checkers or black and white checkers decal.

I'll take a look Tom - I think they're black and white.
