Thanks Guys,
I was in the hospital for the past week but home now and feeling much better and looking forward to this one.

 

[SaparotRob]

Glad to hear that. Hospital stays aren't as fun as one might think.

Good to hear Dave.

Needed some FS34092 for Caldwell's a/c so picked some up. I have been wanting to try the AK plastic masking putty since it apparently doesn't leave residue like mak tak or other puttys. So I picked up a tin to try with this build.

Still searching Canadian sources for Aqueous Hobby Color with half-descent shipping costs. If our dollar goes to .84¢ I've got a supplier in Japan that is cheaper than Canada, shipping included. Sunward Hobbies doesn't deliver to my area

Geo, I was going to use Sunward but they were out of stock on the putty. I switched to Wheels and Wings Hobbies. They use to have a flat shipping rate of $15. but have since improved their options to offer better rates. I believe I paid $11.49 shipped for both item.

Just checked the shipping on 10 bottles of paint, 27.48$. When I bought the paint in Japan, it was 2.95 a bottle and 6.00 shipping for 6 bottles

Nice choice David and glad to know all is well after your hospital stay.

Glad your ok Dave, this is a real nice kit, built one already from this boxing, hoping to do the other in this GB.

That's a deal Geo. I found suppliers in Japan have drastically increased their shipping rates since Covid and so have stopped ordering from there. Nice to see you a found a reasonable supplier.

A couple of photos of one of Caldwell's VC's. I believe this one was a/c JL394. I have not seen any of BS295.
