That is a beast of a kit!! Wow!!

A friend had the older Airfix kit of that and the one of the Mustang to be built when he gets more time - kept on a
cupboard for twenty five years or so. Came home a while ago - house cleaned up and older stuff thrown out.

Recommend you start on it as soon as possible.

Great Buys there Guys...

Viking1066 · Mar 12, 2023

Decals finally arrived after dancing with the USPS three extra days. The DP Casper only came with the Japanese decals which was fine by me.

Thanks. Some Czech company from Prague. Very difficult to find. I was lucky to get them. The others I bought in January were from a seller in Spain.

BACK IN BUSINESS.
Sorry to have to abandon the enamels, but family couldn't stand the smell of the paints, turps and thinners, etc, preventing anything from being finished. Hope these resolve that.

Wurger · Mar 13, 2023

Glad to see you back my friend.

A4K · Mar 13, 2023

Dzieki my friend! Hope to be around a bit more soon!

That you Evan? Been a long time. Hope you're well.

A4K · Mar 13, 2023

Yeah, it is mate, how are you? Has been a while - I was still in Hungary last we wrote...left 10 years ago!

Geo, all new to me, so I have to learn the ins and outs. Quite a bit different than enamels I imagine. Got some 'practice' kits sorted to experiment with, so will post pics now and again and let yas know how it goes.

How many kids do you have now?

Crimea_River · Mar 13, 2023

Two very nice ones I had the pleasure of meeting last summer. Great to see you Evan! You'll find the Tamiya paints don't smell at all. You can use 70% IPA as a thinner for them too, rather than that expensive X-20.

Oh, you know. Many big changes in life and 2022 was a bit grim, but I'm on the up. Good to be back here, anyway.

A4K · Mar 13, 2023

Glad you're on the mend Tony, and good to see ya here again.

And cheers guys, yeah two kids, aged 4 and 8 (already! Where did that time go?!). 2022 was a bit of a rough year for us too, but there were three shining moments to save it, one of the best being a trip to Dublin to catch up with Andy and his family, and Gerry and his wife Jan. I really hope we can catch up again sometime!

Cheers for the heads up on the IPA by the way Andy, and glad the smell should cease to be an issue. It was change the paint or quit the hobby...
