  1. Cheers, Phil - I might just take you up on that!
  2. Cheers, guys. As I won't have a car, I won't be able to get out there. Guess I'll have to pay for an extra checked bag! 😁
  3. Will there be any facilities available to mail packages from the convention site over the weekend, such as UPS or FedEx? I remember there being such at some conventions in years' past.
  4. They can't have been too wide if the profile is correct (which is uncertain) - the artist shows the bands being between the underwing roundel and the serial, where in real life there wasn't that much space. It may have been that part of the serial was painted over. Without a photo, it's all guesswork. This is the uncertainty that surrounds many profiles - unless you can find the photo the profile was created from, you have no idea how accurate it is. I've looked through a bunch of my references and can't find any photos of Seahawks with those bands.
  5. I imagine those were there for some sort of exercise rather than an operation, as it appears these were there for a short period in 1953. Here's a Russian interpretation: http://www.wings-aviation.ch/32-FAA/4-Sqn/806.htm
  6. They've been saying it for years - there is no Future in this hobby anymore..... and now it's true...😉
  7. Wow, your Walmart sells kits! Lucky! Some recent purchases. Got the two Phantoms for $20 each at a swapmeet, which I consider a pretty good deal.
  8. Looks great, Mark! I used to see those Air UK Friendships, and Heralds, all the time flying over our house in England as we lived fairly close to Southampton Airport.
  9. A hyperlink to the page: http://ipmsusa2022.com/index.cfm?mode=vendors Also, please note that should be Phoenix Scale Publications A few other notes: Eagle Editions, not Additions, though a separate space for my eagles would be nice. Special Hobby, not Hobbies. UMM USA, not Umm, though I'm undecided about that one.....😉
  10. What's happening to the reviews section? When I look at the thread titles, what I see is an abbreviated section of the first sentence of the review, and not the subject of the review. This makes it hard to decipher what is being reviewed unless you click on each individual entry. Can you take a look and fix it please?

      I'm not sure what you mean....

      I see it too. Got a funky icon in front of title and not the title block

      Well, the Funky Icon (great band name!) has gone, but the thread titles are still in some cases the first sentence of the review - here's a few examples:

      When you click on a thread title, it takes you to this:

      Not an earth-shattering issue, but it is funky. 

  11. Very nice, Chris! Those Mike Grant smoke ring decals will be the death of our hobby, you know.....
  12. For those who are interested, Hobby Depot in Tempe, AZ - Dick Christ's store - is moving a block or so down the road. The new address is 113 East Southern, Suite 109, Tempe, AZ The new premises are a bit smaller than the old one, but he's going to be able to better concentrate the product he carries. Looking forward to visiting in the near future!
  13. LOL! Reminds me of something I saw at the Miramar airshow back in 2009:
  14. This is a tragic situation with no good outcomes possible. Putin must be a madman.
  15. I am running out of Metalizer thinners. I have enough jars of the paint left - does anyone have a good substitute for the thinners? (PS - I'm not interested in re-hashing Testors' decision to discontinue their ranges.)
