Thanks Evan. Did some research first to make darn sure Glenn. I think one or all of the Hobbycraft I-16 kits had some issues with the front end and I think Academy uses the HC molds.

Is it just me, or most Hobbycraft kits pretty shite, except for the Trumpeter re-pops. I have a 1/48 Avro Arrow and it seems like there is only 20 pieces to put it together

Most Hobbycraft kits are a challenge in that they aren't like Tamiya; add a tube of glue to the box, shake and out pops a done model. I think most of the HC kits I have done have more filler than plastic but I like the satisfaction I get out of completing something that others might have tossed back into the box.

I totally agree with you, I built a Williams Brothers 1/32 Sparrowhawk. What a nightmare. Took me 1 month, not the 1 day I gave it

I actually like the Hobbycraft kits. You just have to go into them knowing that there will be some extra work involved. I've made their P-36, P-40, I-16, Bf 109 and a few others and with the exception of one spitfire I did, the finished product turned out pretty decent.
Brooks, you'll like that Mustang kit. Not as good at the Tamiya Mustangs but close. Just remember to join the nose sides to the fuselage sides before you put the fuselage halves together, You'll save yourself a lot of headaches that way.

I purchased the rivet maker on a whim. I will test drive it shortly and post the results here. As far as I can tell, the I-16 is Eduards molds. What I just learned(see link) is that it is actually a Type24 and with slight modifications, it can be made as a Type18 which is actually great for me as I have found some oddball schemes for the Type24.

Nice Picks boys.
I posted a while back that I picked up the AMTECH P40K-5. Unfortunately it never arrived. I ordered it from Kings Hobby in Texas and the tracking of it went dead in Austin.
I asked Kings to find out what happened and they basically told me "don't know" then when I asked for a refund they made such a big fuss complaining that when their customers don't get the model they are out of the cost of the model and shipping. They mentioned this twice before I basically said I don't give a Rat's A$$. They took forever to respond and when they finally came clean and offered the refund I was so fed up I said to myself all this for a lousy $22. Well tell ya what King Sh!!t Hobby you can keep the $20 bucks as your not worth it just give me a credit toward my next purchase. As if that will ever happen. Should of known better than to buy from an Ebay seller with a 90% customer approval rating. Shame on me.
Oh well. Still on the hunt for a P40.
