Priorities are a thing currently, so i'll just browse around. I love that little racing Skyline and transporting truck, so classic! I like the little diorama at the back. [printed on the card] I have been thinking of building very small 1/100 diorama, with only a few references and buildings, but it is all plans so far. Yeah it looks better without the extra parts and stickers. I’ve got ideas for dioramas as well. I’ll build one after you start one.

It seems to be made of balsa wood and foam. It looks good to me and I still like it. For the price and how simple it is to make, I wouldn’t recommend it to everybody as some people might be disappointed. I’m going to hold off on buying more for now. 6 hours ago, Grimgerde said: Sticking toe into the water of the AFC jets... Congrats! That’s a good one to start with. I’m collecting doubles of the F-14’s to keep a set MISB. Already have a spare F-14A Jolly Rogers, just received a spare F-14A Vandy 1 and F-14D Bounty Hunters, and a spare F-14A Tomcatters is coming in.

Sanity is Optional Posted August 7, 2019 Posted August 7, 2019 Couple of purchases just made it here via SAL. One of the two immediately makes music run through my head, and I think we all know which one. Spoiler Smooth Jazz intensifies. Also not a recent purchase, but I finally unboxed my premium SDF-1, put in all the screw covers, and stuck it in a detolf. Spoiler

But what I have in my cart is the 1/48. 31385 shipped. Trying to resist pulling the trigger on this. I does looks damn nice. The weathering and the guy metal color looks so attractive.
