Well this is a first...
Got the mail today and there was a package from Squadron...it was a book- which made me a bit nervous as I hadn't ordered any books
. But they basically sent me the hardcover PBY Catalina in Action book as a gift for being a good customer....I might actually already have one of these in softcover...need to check that...

Dang, that's nice, guess I should have ordered from Squadron more often.

Ian got something very cool in the mail today. Ian has a cousin, Aaron Loup, that pitches for the Toronto Blue Jays in the Major League. I sent in a photo and a letter from Ian and the photo came back today autographed and with a note from Aaron on the back. Thanks to James, jknaus, for sending the Canadian postage for the SASE.

I've been in the market for another 1/48th TA-4J.
This one was hovering around in a repeat F/S post, at a paltry US$25.
For a lark I pulled trigger on the good ol' Revell-o-gram 1/48th F-14B, too, at $25. Double-up saved on S&H, and I've always wanted to see inside the Rev=o=gram F-14 kit.
Oddly, I wasn't aware this was the -B model til I saw the box. (You call it "plastic-fondling", I call it "performing pragmatic checks".)
It has 'early' and 'late' options for the for'd port fuselage, gun-gas ports.
The GE cans are multi-piece assembly. Kit is missing decals but VF-11 or VF-32 aren't priority markings.
I've had a hankering for a VF-84 scheme for years.
Chap had cut the price because the TA-4J is missing some resin. The full kit is regularly US$45 and upwards, some auctions see it easily reach US$80.
Why do I point this out? Splitting total cost makes each kit $ biscuit under $42. Incl S&H. Bought singly I'd be looking at &45 for the TA-4J alone. $25+ for the F-14. And $30+ S&H for each.
No matter which way I spin the cost, in NZ$ (or, what we like to call "South Pacific Pesos") I'm rather chuffed.
Natch, I shall be looking out for appropriate resin and PE thru the year . . .

WTG!! Can only imagine Ian's reaction to this response!! Totally Awesome!!
My cousin Richie Bordi played major league ball back in the late 70s and 80s. Last I heard, he's still a talent scout for the Padres... B)

They're offering a huge selection of books for $3 a title, including $35 HBs. It's really tempting not to grab a bunch, but I need to conserve shelf space at this point.

Some things that arrived this past week.
Moon Puppys build made me want one so a D-7.
Some details for some of my builds.
Something very cool I just saw. Buckles and conectors of all types.
Saul and Ian have made me want to finish my Mig 23. Combined with that I saw these neat decals.
And then some figs for my WNW kits, the newest build guide by Windsock on the AEG G.IV and the newest Abrams Squad mag.

Speaking of MiG-23, the missing set from Ciro Models came in. See below.
All is great and I can recommend Ciro Models wholeheartedly!
I also got in the Rye Field Model Tiger I for a look see. It was sent to me for my opinion (I guess a nice way to ask me to review it so, I will).
Click for a look in the box...

I bought two of these MiG-23 replacement sets (intakes, lower air brakes, replacement cnopy) but only one was in the box. I hope the oversight is corrected immediately:
