Just picked up the academy 1/32 chippy ho F/A-18 for £48 all in from evilbay.


WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :D :D :D :D :D

it is a fantastic kit - have you built one before? they go together like a dream, even with all the aires extras.

Nice price - well done

Thanks,

Nope Ive not built any of the academy 1/32 stuff but I will be using this for my F/A-18D Project as I have sourced the parts I need to convert it.

I have been told it comes with a twin tub but just in case I am sorted now none the less :D

Eilbay strikes again,

I just bought these set of decals

Latin Canberrs

Cuban raiders

More Hinds

And mig-29's

These plus the F/A-18 should keep me busy for a bit :whistle

Oh bugger,

I knew I shouldn't have bought those hind decals as Ive now bought the kit as well.


Don't suppose anyone knows if they take all the props of for maintenance?
I may need the room :lol: :lol:

Picked up the Revell relaease of the old 1/32 Matchbox Puma, mainly because I remember it with great fondness from when I was a kid.

It comes with the bits to build a RAF machine, as usual, all Revell has done is just add the extra sprues for the German machine.

Now, anybody got any decals... :unsure:

Cool Andy. I've been looking at getting a 1/32 Puma. And I'd love to do an RAF machine.

My Great Wall MiG-29A 9-12 and Kitty Hawk Jaguar 'A' arrived today from Lucky, these really are superb kits. I can't wait for the GR.1 and MiG-29C 9-13 to appear now.

My bargain academy 1/32 F/A-18C turned up today.

I feel bad now for paying so little for it......Im sure it will pass :ph43r: :lol:

It does indeed come with a two seater version but with only a canopy for a single (pointless if you ask me) but I have sourced a 'D' canopy and tub for it so jobs a good'n :D

Even for the proper price you get a lot for your money but for £48 its a mountain of styrene :D

Most certainly, this will be 'what if I actually make this kit this year' :lol:


Sorry Tc, this one is earmarked for some twobobs casper decals.

I will get round to a Whif build as I now have all the resin bits and decals I wanted for my TSR.2 so you never know it may be my next build :ph43r:

This is my 1st attempt at the Academy F/A-18C, watch the rear undercarriage Shaun, the white metal parts in the kit WILL bend over time under the weight of the kit. Try propping her up on a base so it doesn't rest on the legs.
