[Howard of Effingham]

the US-3 will help with an idea i have for a four engined viking! 

Now that I have just got to see!

this one duncan has been on the back burner for years and years, but i feel its on for later on this year and it
will have to have naval markings of course. perhaps USN just to upset the JMN's.

shall keep you informed.

I also raided a Michael's craft store and got some foil for BMF and a bunch of acrylic craft paints. I'm trying to see if I can use these instead of the little bottles of Model Masters, Polly-Scale, etc. With the craft paint, you get 2 1/2 times as much for 7 times less cost.

Brian,
the craft paints are great... especially for hand-brushing, however, they are best applied over a primer as some brands don't like bare plastic. While pricey, the Tamiya grey or super-fine white primer in the rattlecan are the best, but cheapo auto primer also works.

Cheers,
Jon

Much obliged, Jon. Thanks for the info.

Interesting day...a strange odor in the car turned out to be a seized alternator. Price in Canada for a new one ? $295...in the good ol' USA ? $129 ! So guess where I was going ? Luckily enough for me, my pal Kurly showed up outta nowhere ( with a cat in his truck ) and off we went. We stopped at Pastime Hobbies in Port Huron where I snagged these two......we also stopped at Ted's for a couple of Coneys. Mmmmm....Coneys.....

[Mossie]

Wow, Frog Hornet at what here in blighty would be about £2.50.   I saw one at a show recentley for the equivalent of $30!

[Captain Canada]

It's all sealed in the bag and stuff, too......want it ?

You are most welcome, I was wondering when you were going to fess up about your acquisitions from my stash.

A Frog kit for $30! I must be dreaming! I can buy them for less than 50 kr... (but they are a joy to build, no detailing needed!)

I had the kit years ago just after it came out and remember the fun building it, I think it got lost in one of the many moves anyway I'm going to do it as the box but I may get rid of the chrome finish, never looks right on kits to me and paint them silver.
