You can't go wrong with Ralphie! I got some Duluth Trading gift cards and batteries for my power tools.
Wifey brought me home a couple of watches from the P.I. but they are Manila specials
That’s the wrong variant @ChuckMK23! At least the variant and picture match up, even the JPO and the Navy screw that up more than you would think ?
Indeed I wish it was a C-model. This particular kit was just announced and released at Tokyo Hobby Show just a month ago - and it is extraordinary for a military aircraft model as far as fit, finish, detail, ease of assembly, etc. I love assembling - I am not great at painting and detail so I will most likely assemble unfinished for the fun of it.
I have had my eye on this for a while and almost pulled the trigger a few times - do provide pics when you assemble it!!
Nice! Lady in front of me at barnes and noble was checking out with the Ferrari SP3 kit. Reminded me of the several months that I debated whether I wanted to buy the orange Porsche GT3 kit a number of years back. I didn't, and what was once $300 is now $1000+. I'm an idiot.
Nerd alert! Here it is in all its glory… the upper stage detaches from the lower just like the real deal, and you can remove the sides of the cockpit to see inside (there’s enough room for the astronaut mini-figures to stand in there like they’re flying the ship).
Interestingly, the build also includes a flight video recorder behind an hinged panel, and another compartment for a piece that represents the lunar laser reflector that Armstrong and Aldrin left on the moon.
Just out of curiosity, do those @mad dog and @ChuckMK23 action figures pictured above have the almighty Kung Fu grip? You know…the almighty Kung Fu grip like the old GI Joe from the 1970s…
This is absolutely spectacular. ?
Nope, that was Zumwalt’s time. Perfectly groovy.
