Love those Valkyrie British tankers. Definitely will need a set of those. Joe, those Gemini Jets are nice. I bought one of their DC-8s last year as I am big fan of the DC-8 and it was really a nice piece of diecast.
Regards,
Ian

Couldn't pass this one up. This sheet is beautiful and features a variety of USMC Phantoms from Vietnam. Alot of these were very beat up so there are great weathering prospects in this stable. I am eyeing the VMFA-212 bird with the cross on the tail.    Best wishes, Ian  |

A couple days ago we had our IPMS chapter meeting. I got this in the raffle:  Now since I also have the Renwal USS Springfield, I can build both of these. Before that however, a friend sold this to me; using up the last of my Christmas money:  That is a white one-foot-long ruler on the top of that box. Yes, it is that big. The fuselage seen below is made from fiberglass, as is the wings and tail surfaces. All other parts are injection plastic. The ruler is still there to show size:  Later I also decided to test-fit the wings to see how big this monstrosity is. The tail feathers didn't fit, but I was able to at least balance the vertical stabilizer:  Yeah, that puppy will have to be all done at Hobby Day.... That's it for now. I have four Brookhurst gift cards; prizes from my AMPS meetings so I may have some more to show after the Spruefest show. Stay tuned. |

LOL! Thanks Ian! No, I don't have a garage; I share a carport with the neighbors. I don't think they'd want one of those hanging from the ceiling out there. No, I'll just have to re-arrange everything on my ceiling in my Hobby Room and find a joist I can hang this from.

I ran into a tad of a problem with the Tiger II zimmerit, I didn't have a hole punch in 1mm to get a decent cut on the bolt heads. So I went to Amazon yesterday and ordered these for 12€  . Hole punches from 1 to 12mm  They work well on the Zimm but that's not surprising, I reckon they all should work well with white sheet too  . We'll see about soon. |

I have a similar set myself Paul and have found they work well on plastic card, the thinner the better and they are dead handy for punching out headlight lenses etc.

Yep! That's why I have to find a joist. And a very long, strong hook!
Interesting set of hole punches. They look like they'll work well.
