Very limited in what basic kits I can get on my area mate.B61 MACK wrote:What about looking at the snap tite range of cars and trucks for your young bloke.You can get so really nice ones.
Casey's toys hobby section is more aimed at mid to high skill level builders, I haven't seen a level 1 or snaptite there at all from memory.
Gosford hobbies is very much tank and military slanted... i'm a modern car person.
My son wants my rex as his first car and has told me to keep it for at least another 8 years so he can have it. maybe i should print the sedan version i have done of mine, mod it as needed to fit the fujumi hatch kit and let him build that... with my help.

Re: Mitsubishi Zero
Would you like me to see what I can find here, there is three shops but will look in only two as the one at Rutherford has very high price on kits $60 each
can check out Frontline too.

Re: WW II Planes
Will be putting all my WWII planes in WIP here in one place, I took the old PB photo of the Zero down and will put up a new one once I find it, It's in a safe place

Started the Tempest this afternoon.
Re: WW II Planes
Just found on U-tube someone building the Tempest and painting it using Tamiya paint which I will be using. But the thing that surprised me they painted it with a 1/4" paint brush
not a airbrush a lot quicker and saving a lot of masking it up with tape to put the Camo on, I know what me going to be doing Oh only thing the three short Videos are in Japanese or some were over there. yes!
Shows a lot less stuffing around doing his way. yes!

Re: WW II Planes
The Curtiss P-40 had a few different names, Warhawk, Tomahawk, Kittyhawk, Flying Tiger, It had a lot to do with were the flew in the war and what model they were.
