PeteJ Posted December 8, 2014 Report Posted December 8, 2014 Happy box just arrived from Japan! Hello, my name is Pete and I am an egg plane junkie! Filling in some of the holes in my collection and adding a new one. The shuttle and transporter are new to the series!
Gromit801 Posted December 11, 2014 Report Posted December 11, 2014 Latest eBay haul. The P-3 is going to be built for a buddy who crewed on them. A BD gift mounted with the VP-46 emblem.

Did anyone get pictures?
PeteJ Posted December 12, 2014 Report Posted December 12, 2014 Since there seems to be a little interest, I thought I would throw up this photo of my stash. As near as I can tell, Hasegawa has been making "egg planes" since the mid 70's. They made a series and then reissued them for years. In the last 5 years they have begun making new molds of current aircraft. The first was a P-51 and they have done several more each year. The latest is an Osprey in two different version. These are really simple kits, but can be build up to very nice little models. The latest is the 747/shuttle which is actually two old kits with some new parts. This is a shot of the USAF SOG Osprey. It is currently on the bench being build.

dmorrissette Posted December 12, 2014 Report Posted December 12, 2014 LOL, I know when we get them in for review, they usually get snapped up pretty quick. Dave
Gromit801 Posted December 12, 2014 Report Posted December 12, 2014 (edited) 1986 Region 9 contest. Shot in B&W because they were going to be published in newsletters. Before the days of Photoshop, lol. As I recall, it also had lights for calling the ball, and the mast. Find the Update issue for the 86 Nationals. I think it won Most Humorous, built by Joe Martinez.

Mark Deliduka Posted December 25, 2014 Report Posted December 25, 2014 Congrats! That's quite the eclectic score Jim. Looking forward to seeing these at the Nationals! LOL!
Gromit801 Posted December 25, 2014 Report Posted December 25, 2014 (edited) I guess I was a good boy last year! Edited December 25, 2014 by Gromit801
Mark Deliduka Posted December 26, 2014 Report Posted December 26, 2014 Nice score! I guess I wasn't a good boy. I got nothin'!
Gromit801 Posted December 26, 2014 Report Posted December 26, 2014 Thanks. There goes another happy year out of my life, lol
ipmsusa2 Posted December 27, 2014 Report Posted December 27, 2014 I got nuthin' too. Course when you consider this is both a hobby and business for me, it's a little hard for anyone to buy kits for me. But I did get a gift card from Hobby Lobby. Combine that with their 40% off coupons and things could be very interesting before long. Let's see...if a kit costs $80, then less 40% equals.....
Mark Aldrich Posted December 31, 2014 Report Posted December 31, 2014 I can add my sadness to receiving nothing model building related. Of course, I knew this and ordered myself some early Christmas presents....Both versions of the new Takom T-3s, 2 Plusmodel Switchboard sets, DEF pickup tires, PanzerArt spare Centurion roadwheels, BlackDog Humber Mk. IV stowage set, and the AFV Club Centurion Dalet.
Gromit801 Posted December 31, 2014 Report Posted December 31, 2014 My family knows that if I don't get at least one model, and a book, Xmas didn't happen for me. It's a policy that goes back a loooong way. That, and never, ever buy me clothes. No ones gets my clothing likes right, lol. 1
ewahl Posted January 1, 2015 Report Posted January 1, 2015 I never saw this coming in advance: a huge book! The New York Times Complete World War II--1939-1945. There is a DVD inside the front cover with 98,367 New York Times articles that I can read on my computer. The book itself reprints only 600+ articles on 595 pages, all articles originally published in the newspaper's pages. This is history written as it happened, with the writers getting things both right and wrong as their personal experiences impacted them. I love reading this stuff, and I'm through the prologue articles beginning June 19, 1919, through September 1, 1939, that set the stage for what was to come for the next six years. A couple of years ago I found a boxed set on my mother's bookshelves called Time Capsules, one volume for each year 1939 through 1945, filled with all sorts of articles from the Time magazines of those days. I read all seven volumes. Politics, world events, people, arts, music, theater, science, literature, etc., all were included. It may take a year to read the new book, and 20 years to read all the DVD articles. Thanks to the person who sent this to me. Ed
Gromit801 Posted January 1, 2015 Report Posted January 1, 2015 I've had those Time Capsule books since I was about 15, and can see them on the shelf from where I now sit. The gift you got sounds insanely great.

Your whole year is made! Way to go!
