To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
Re: Welcome! (GB Chat)
I will probably regret this, or at least have another one to add to the Shelf of Someday....But, count me in with
Let's see....
Old kit - Check
Many (most) parts off the sprue tree - Check
Decals yellowed and toast - Check
Looks like I'm gonna have some fun now!

We are modelers - the same in spirit, in hunger to insanely buy newly released kits, hustlers in hiding our stash from our better halves and experts in using garbage as replacements for after-market parts.

Re: Welcome! (GB Chat)
Is that the same kit as Revells? I'm working on Revells. Got custom decals for it done by Speedway decals.

Lots of little bitty plastic thingys. I think they are supposed to be used somehow.Duke Maddog wrote:Looking good Lyle! That does look like fun.

Re: Welcome! (GB Chat)
Can't find it now, but seems like I saw that Revell did a rebox of this one. It is from the early 60s, maybe 1962? Looks like a decent kit at a glance. Even the rotor blades are straight.midnightprowler wrote:Is that the same kit as Revells? I'm working on Revells. Got custom decals for it done by Speedway decals.

According to Scalemates...Testors reboxed it in 1973 and Italaeri in 1979
