Welcome John!

Welcome Ed!

Welcome Gary!

I've also had great luck with Tamiya USA. Several times over the years I have called with requests & they were great to deal with. In one case they even sent the small part I needed free of charge. In other cases, they let me purchase an entire sprue at very minimal cost. (A note to anyone out there, wait to talk to someone in person, as I have not had good luck with them returning phone calls)

Welcome Aboard Philip!

Welcome Jim!

Thanks gents for all of your work!

To add to Gil & Dennis: There are a few brands of tea (Lipton I think is one) who sell tea which comes in a plastic mesh type "tea bag". It is sort of like a little triangle - I have heard that works as well...

Welcome aboard Brian!

Welcome back Dave!

Great Job Chris! Thanks for sharing. Give me a shout if you really do want another kit - I may have an extra...

Nice work James - Thanks for sharing!

Nice work Chris - Thanks for sharing!

More great work! Seeing your weathering job makes me (almost) want to break out a car kit to work on!

Simply OUTSTANDING - Thanks for sharing!

Great work with such an old kit - thanks for the "in progress" build!

Looks good Jeff!

Funny Mike - I thought the same thing! Michael - Nice work with the build!

As has been said already: it depends on the kit. I am working on a P-36 now, which while lacking some detail in the cockpit is a decent kit. However, years back I did one of their F4U kits, and had some rather strong words (not positive) as nothing seemed to go right. I vowed then I was never going to build another HC kit - now that I am into the P-36 I am glad I changed my mind. Your BEST bet would be to "ask around" on this and other modeling forums before picking a kit up. I am sure you will get tons of reviews & can easily see which ones are good, and those that you should avoid!

Nice work! - Thanks for posting!

Great job!

Nice work with the detail in such a small kit - thanks for posting!

Nice work - Thanks for sharing!

Funny this topic came up! I am (still) in the process of organizing my books, and came across some of these. "Back in the day" I got much enjoyment out of them, and did learn a great deal. NOW, I never look at them, and actually forgot that I had a few. At this point, I am not sure if I am going to keep them, ,or pass them on to someone else who will enjoy them. I'm on the fence, but leaning toward putting them in the "go" pile.
