For anyone building a review kit from Hobbico, please post the link below in your opening page so that anyone wishing to buy the kit may have a pathway to do so. Our contact at Hobbico has asked if as can do this for them....

Had a look at the "Coming soon" list of kits. There was the immediate impulse to ask for the P5M Marlin kit. Then, after some checking, I noticed to be a rather old kit with raised panel lines...

Anybody asked for the Volkswagen Type 2 Delivery Van "Moon Equipped" so far?

No, but I asked for the P5M. Old or not, I've been wanting one.

Hey Lyle, nice to read some lines from you!

Talking about Hobbico; any news on this one?

:beau: Would still love to do a build review with it.

Embarrassing enough, it is still on my desk. No excuses really other than I simply haven't had time to fine a DHL office near me. I will get it out to you as soon as I can.

I've added it to the bottom of the first post for the build of the A6M5c.
I'm still plugging away with this, sorry for no updated pics. I had hoped to have it completed by now; however, I wasnt overly thrilled with some of the paint, so I took it back down to the primer and re-shot the AK Xtreme Metal and IJN green topcoat. I am work on making a decision at this point on whether or not to use the Hinomaru decals or paint them using a mask. I have done some weathering on the overall surface of the wings and fuselage and I dont want the markings to be too bright.

Do I need to add this to my two Tomcats review?

Wouldn't hurt anything, but not necessary.

Wish I could do reviews but working two full time jobs really limits my building time.
