nice stuff Guys.

Jesse, the pearl harbor set is still a good buy at the right price, they just keep getting the BLUE WRONG in every release, PH Soryu and Hiryu Blue is a Dark Blue
sort of a Blue Angels Blue. The Lighter Blue only appeared in early 1942 and seen on some aircraft land based at the time.

Is that how you spell Steersman in Japanese? License built?

Jesse have you done an L2D (Tabby)? How much different from the DC3/C-47?

Magic happens again

Have both, but they are very similar to the DC3/C-47. The Japanese version has enlarged nacelles and larger propellors, as well as extra windows behind the cockpit. The LDD3/4 had a machine gun in the dorsal turret and side machine guns in the fuselage hatches. The side machine guns were not common standard practice.

Nice

This is an excellent book. I was lucky to get one for $40 a few years back. The kits of them both are also becoming harder to find. There is a company in Chicago that sold them, but I don't know if they are still selling kits.

I have the good replacement for my messed up Phantom from GB65. The kit does have some sentimental value (original was bought in Japan with my daughter) and will probably be done as an "On the Workbench" so there is less geterdone pressure.

Unlike some other people here... I am really trying to only get new kits of planes I MUST have when I NEED to have them. There is a Catalina on EvilBay that is a good price and is what I have in mind for Maritime. It's a year away, so do I pull the trigger now or wait till closer, so I'm still committed in case something else catches my fancy. Cause that happens all the time. Annnnnd cue all the "buy it now"!! Just hit the bacon if you think I should buy it now.

Paypal has that thing where you can pay it off in four small lumps.
