aAzZ09 Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Welcome to the static builders domain, Steve. I'm an aviation enthusiast myself. If you need any help, feel free to ask away. That's what IPMS is all about. Happy Modeling, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcflyer Posted March 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 I haven't had much time for building but will be making time soon. I've started the B25j and can't decide between re scribing panel lines or working with them raised Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcflyer Posted March 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 Thanks guys..I've never done armor but would mind a Bradley or Stryker kit..any ideas on which kits are worth building? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcflyer Posted March 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 I wouldn't mind I meant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
802chrisg Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Funny you mention that, as I'm on the review crew and am currently building the new kit from MENG of the M2A3 Bradley BUSK III kit. I should have the review done with in the next month. This one I'm senting into the jounal instead of the regular review prossess on the forum. Stay tuned. If you have never done a armor kit start with a Tamiya ofr AFV kit. simple, good detail, and go together well. I see you like the big scales so try 1/35 scale for armor to start. Best of luck.

rcflyer Posted March 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 What journal will the review be in? That's the Bradley I want to build so your review would be a great help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
802chrisg Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 (edited) I do not know the IPMS issue yet, That will be up to the editor. Once I complete the review and send it in it is up to the editoral staff. I can tell you that upfront without giving out all the details is it well worth the money for the kit. One of the best I have seen to date. Stay tuned. Chris :Smile_sceptic: Edited March 30, 2014 by 802chrisg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
