mustang1989 Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 (edited) Picked these up from Modelmania in Houston last weekend. I just had to get this one.......had to! and this jewel. The decals were SHOT.....................BAD! I ended up getting ahold of Dragon and believe it or not they actually had one set left and are sending it to me free of charge. I'm really looking forward to building this one as I've been wanting it now for 20 years and I think I've finally got the abilities and skills to do it justice!

ghodges Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 Had a great time at the Pelicon this weekend! Actually bought a few kits too....picked up the Kittyhawk 1/48 "Twogar" TF-9J, an Airfix 1/144 L-1011 Tristar, a Monogram 1/48 B-29 (to convert to a B-50!), an old 1/32 Life Like GeeBee racer, and a 1/24 AMT Silhouette custom car (my favorite Hotwheels car growing up). All in all, that's more than I've bought at a show in a few years! GIL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustang1989 Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Man those are teeny models Mark. I really admire and respect these little guys a lot more than I used to after seeing some completed builds in person. Great score also considering you've been wanting one of those for that long!!

Mark Deliduka Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Thanks Joseph! They do have some tiny parts, but they are quite large. The Enterprise is a little more than two feet long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subgenius13 Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 This was our haul from Tol-Con this past Saturday. Spent less than $100 and had some great raffle luck. My Father In Law won a flight on the Yankee Lady B-17 as well. I credit my youngest daughter for bringing this kind of luck because I never make out like this. Grand total on kits we actually bought was ~$40. We had a super time and came home with some awards too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subgenius13 Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 Thanks! I'm particularly proud of the HE-111 and the JU-88. Got them both for $25 from one of the dealers. the JU-88 is my first Dragon kit, and I'm pretty impressed with the quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang1989 Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 I've got the Ju-88 / Fw 190 F-8 Mistel 2 combo and can see where you get the high quality rating from. I'm REALLY looking forward to that Mistel build!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang1989 Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 I got this in the mail today. Only three more to get the whole bunch of 'em. (I built all of these as a kid so I'm anxious to get a second shot at them.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subgenius13 Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 I still have all my old kits from 30 years ago. Man they look terrible.... If I didn't have 20 years worth of projects unbuilt on my shelf I might consider rehabbing a few of them :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
