Classic Airframes 1/48 Bristol Blenheim Mk I | eBay

This seller has a few interesting kits, 1/350 Mogami and Mutsu and I'm keeping an eye on his 1/48 Dragon Ju 188E-1! Watch it go for a bar of solid gold!

Edit: Same seller!

Same with 1/48 Westland Whirlwinds

I find that a lot of kits have a decent price only to get tagged with a whopping great shipping cost. Why is it, I can get a 1/48 Ventura form Korea shipped for under 11$, yet a Spitfire from the U.S. is over 34$. I've even seen two identical kits, one above the other, same price, same country, and there was over a 20$ difference in shipping.

This little beauty just showed up. Another RCAF aircraft methinks.

Good catch Geo, and I agree about the silly price differentials. It really p*sses me off when sellers sell kits at inflated prices, knowing that a 'collector' will buy it at the silly price, when people like us want the kit to build it, not sit in its box on a shelf, just so someone can say 'I have that in my collection' !
Effin moronic hoarders!
I'd have a dab at that Blenheim Mk1 and the Defiant, if I could get e-bay to work! I can never get access, even though I've checked and confirmed my pass word!
Mind you, silly prices are right out!

 

[Lucky13]

Just do what we did on the Airfix 1/48 Lightning then, I'll save and check on them tomorrow old boy, just remind me and I'll keep you posted! Toodle pip!

 

[Airframes]

Jolly good old boy. As per our 'text' messages then.

 

[Lucky13]

Aye....

Went on a bit of a run:

Anigrand 1/72 XF-12 Rainbow
Special Hobby 1/72 Douglas Dingby (The box is HUGE and it's NOT a side opener!)
Azur 1/72 Br 695

 

[T Bolt]

XF-12 Rainbow? For the next group build? That would be so cool! That is one of the slickest recon planes ever made (along with Howard Hughes's XF-11). Please let's see some pictures!

 

[Airframes]

Yep, pics of the kits. And what's a Douglas Dingby? Don't think I know that one.

 

[Capt. Vick]

Alright, I will take and post tonight.

Terry, evidently the Digby or Dingby(?) was the Canadian name of the Douglas B-18.

 

[Airframes]

Ah, thanks Jim.

 

[Crimea_River]

That would be Digby....

Nice catch Geo. Got that one in the stash. Need to build up my appetite to do another ICM Spit. Lots of work but the payoff is good.

Thanks for the peek Jim. I looked up a review on it last night and it looks like an interesting build. Lots of work and lots of weight needed in the nose. One thing that was mentioned was that the spinners had holes for 3 prop blades instead of 4 so they would have to be filled and re-drilled, but that it was supposed to be corrected so you may have the right spinners.

 

[Capt. Vick]

Thanks Brother. Yeah this one comes with both. Evidently whom ever had this before me contacted them and got the right spinners.

omg man, I've been wanting to get one of those Anigrand kits for SOOO long ever since I saw the C-69 Constellation. but they are sooo freakin expensive @_@

 

[Capt. Vick]

I know what you mean! I paid a little over $ 60.00 USD for it, which is still wicked expensive, but way below what Anigrand asks for so I figured go for it.

 

[Wayne Little]

Seems you've done ok there Jim!
