VENDOR List- updates?
dmorrissette replied to Jaymo's topic in About the IPMS/USA National Convention
Sprue Brothers never vends at the Nationals on a large scale. They were in Omaha with a small table selling WNW kits and they support the contest greatly but they don't bring the store in ever. Dave -
Love yellow wing planes. Nice! Dave

Rumors about what?????? Dave -
2020 and beyond

There will be a bid presentation in Phoenix Saturday AM for 2020 and 2021. Open to members too. Not sure who's bidding -
I did consider it. The reason model companies have produced these expensive, multi option, state of the art models is US, the dedicated modelers that whine, criticize and complain about every rivet, issue, panel and the like. This has driven costs up and modelers out (so we defintely agree on that). As for Italeri being distributed by Tamiya, that's a distribution agreement . Dave

I could see there demise. As most of their kits have been repalced by newer releases but others, they sell less. There Tomcat is Ok but not nearly Hobbyboss or Tamiya or AMK's forthcoming kit. And resissuing the old when most of us have the kit or there is a better kit won't cut it. I see there P-61 is back out....GWH is better by miles Dave

Thanks. I think the wings and patch add something to the final presentation Dave
-
Great looking presentation. Where do you get the wings and the patch? Dave

Came out looking great. I do recommend the Hasegawa kit as I have built three and while it may be a little tricky (as are most Hornets), it has all the needed parts and good instructions Great job and an even better reason for doing it Dave
-
Really cool. I would have spent hours on the ground looking for parts. Dave

Is this a chance to revitalize the hobby?

Shipping paint by air; one manufacturer responds
dmorrissette replied to SkyKing's topic in General Modeling
Dealt with this all the time when I worked with Sherwin Williams and PPG. US is a little better than Europe but still difficult. I know Valspar had a standing rule that shipping any paint via airplane without VP approval was a termination offense due to an error by someone and a six figure fine for shipping the four gallons incorrectly. I really miss Xtracolor paints Dave
