It's Hanukkah season, and what Jewish kid wouldn't just love a model kit from Israel? Even if it's a very crappy model kit from Israel. It beats another dreidel. ;-) Pat > > On Dec 19, 12:05 am, some...@some.domain wrote: > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > Pat Cornering the market on crap still gives you a carload of crap! > Cornering the market on crap still gives you a carload of crap! > I'm still trying to figure out with a Israeli model company would market a model of a Bf-109. They could have at least made it a Avia S.199. :-) Pat The Starfix HH-3 is actually a pretty good kit, when you can find one. IIRC it's a copy of the Lindberg kit. BTW, Chanukah ended on 12/11. I got a new laptop and typewriter (remember those?). We celebrate Christmas as well (Lynne and Justin are Jewish, I'm protestant). I'm not supposed to know about the new printer in the closet :-) Edward, would you mind refraining from using "retard", please. As the parent of a retarded child I find it an offensive and inaccurate term. I know that you meant no offense. The people who profit from ignorance are more akin to scum, not retarded. Most retarded people that I have known would never take advantage of the ignorant the way some people on e-bay and elsewhere do.

BTW, all Starfix kits have a great use and are worth every dollar spent on them. One dollar each, that is. They are great experimental bases. Wash them like any other plastic kit and try just about anything on them. I have a Starfix Spitfire fuselage that has a dozen different forms of metal paint, Rub-N-Buff and Bare Metal Foil. Another has every known OD paint on one side and different interior colors on the other. One wing is used for cyanoacrylic spots, transfered with a sharppened toothpick to the area being glued. Then there is the Starfix sprue. Ah, how to praise it's texture, it's smooth texture, it's..... Sorry. Got a little carried away there.

Signature- Rufus At the prices of kits these days it does not figure that your going to give your 8 yr old son a 40$ kit to start out on. A buck a model when I was growing up was an expensive kit at the time. These kits a really good for the beginer or for a kitbash of an experimental hoosits. So, there not as bad as you think they are. Just not in your ability range anymore. But great for someone interested in getting used to working with a kit, and learning how and gaing knowledge of the hobby. Ya'll have a good new year with your projects :) snip >> BTW, all Starfix kits have a great use and are worth every dollar >> spent on them. One dollar each, that is.

It will find out that NOTHING fits and that it will never turn out the way it should be. This will probably turn it from modeling permanent. My experience. SignatureCheers, Bert-Jan (off_topic) Bert-Jan, Are you familiar with these fora? www.modelbouwforum.nl www.modelbrouwers.nl Vriendelijke groeten ;) Ron van Sommeren near Nijmegen, Netherlands int. electric fly-in http://home.hetnet.nl/~ronvans/ > (off_topic) > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > near Nijmegen, Netherlands > int. electric fly-in http://home.hetnet.nl/~ronvans/ Hi Ron. I have just sgned in at the modelbouwforum, looks very impressive. There is a lot of RC about, which is not my cup of tea at all, but the plastic model part looks very promising and I am sure to be visiting it frequently. Bedankt voor de tip!!

Some of my earliest pieces probably weren't fit too well either and I know I used way too much glue. But I had a plane!

You'd expect a company from a country that has loads of diamond cutters, watchmakers, and jewelry designers in it would turn out models of the quality of Pocher, not the Starfix stuff. (In fact, if Israel was looking for a nifty boutique industry, really top-notch small production run models might be a very good one.) I've never actually seen a Starfix kit for sale in North Dakota, BTW. People keep mentioning seeing them in grocery stores - are they sure they aren't in Kosher meat markets? :-) Pat >> On Dec 19, 8:11 pm, some...@some.domain wrote: >> [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > >Pat nope. dollar stores and craporamas. not groceries around here. > On Dec 19, 3:12 pm, some...@some.domain wrote: > > In article <b2468545-ea82-4d77-aeac-29b8e8725...@x69g2000hsx.googlegroups.com>, "maies...@netscape.com" <maies...@netscape.com> wrote: [quoted text clipped - 58 lines] > > Tom Pretty much the way I advertised the two I sold on E-bay. I think I stated that they were the most execrable model kits made BUT they had merit in being usable as paint and glue test bucks. The F-5 looks to be accurate for the prototype and the AlphaJet wasn't half bad. I have no idea whose kits they copied. Bill Banaszak, MFE Sr. The T-38 (that's really an F-5B) and the F-5E (really an F-5A) look to be copies of the Hasegawa kits.I've actually built a bunch of em to show off different paint schemes.Not sure on the others,except that the larger scale kits actually work out to some weird muilti scale and are crap.The Alpha Jet is almost buildable too,but I think it represents a prototype. > "maies...@netscape.com" wrote: > [quoted text clipped - 68 lines] > > Bill Banaszak, MFE Sr. > The Starfix HH-3 is actually a pretty good kit, when you can find one. > IIRC it's a copy of the Lindberg kit. > > BTW, Chanukah ended on 12/11.
