Ouch... great prices.... but probably shipping them to Spain would spoil the price goodness. :(

Some of these would look great among  my other 20 unopened aircraft and AFV model boxes :D

MMmm, I'm getting somewhat fed up of computer gaming alltogether as of late,methinks I could blow the dust off my unopened spanish civil war 109-D and I-16, they have been sitting there for years....

I have the same problem takeda, only my collection is 44 kits.  I have been really wanting to restart on my Heller 1:24 Fw-190A but have no time.

Tamaya F4u-1d are about 20 bucks a pop and the HB kit as about 16-17 dollars at the local hobby shop.

I have a dumb question ... are these kits pre-painted for the most part, or do they require detailed painting? I ask because I am not an artist by any means, and I'm sure would suck at painting. But I'd love to put pieces to gether and use stickers and stuff.

If there is painting, are there at least patterns?

Thanks :)

Nimitz, all the kits I've bought were a single color for most parts, maybe a second color like black for a few parts and clear for the canopy. They come with decals for insignia but if you want them to look good you're gonna hafta do some painting.

Nim,

I'd go back and look at your hobby store.  I didn't do models for years because of the paintin.  The few times I did, I had the GF paint them.

Now, most hobby stores have tools that cost almost nothing, and make painting easy.

Please keep in mind that it costs about 10 bucks per package to send something of a few pounds from coast to coast so its cost effective to buy in bulk. Last time I shipped something out, it cost me 22 bucks to ship a large box weighing about 10 pounds. One box that weighs 1-2 pounds still costs about  8-10 bucks (depending on destination distance) so the average package costs about 8-10 bucks to send anyways via UPS ground.

BTW: The Hobby sale is sill open.

Books are very nice.  I dont think the Trimaster is detailed enough for an OOTB build.. ;)

Well it has alot of detail of the same quality as any Hasegawa kit. It even has a complete engine with cowels precut for open engine display. It also has metal gear struts and photo etched canopy and cockpit parts. I guess you plan on super detailing it up because its a luftwaffe bird. Would love to see how great it looks after you build it so perhaps you could post a picture on the BBS. Do you fade the paint out 10-20%. There is also a resin mod kit to build a Ta-152 C-01,2,3 variant that has short wings. I've seen this kit around before so dont forget your collection will need one of those as well.

Thats why I had two Ta-152s.
