I don't subscribe any longer but I did get my Squadron flier Wednesday!

Got the FSM today, learned that there's a 144th Scale YB-60 in the pipeline!

With regard to Squadron, am I being paranoid or is more and more of the flyer being given over to armor?? Perhaps the new owner has a bit of bias?

;-)

A few pages devoted to die-cast too, as well as autos, plastic and metal.

That YB-60 wouldn't be resin, would it? I just saw one on the Anigrand site last week.

Not to mention that Dragon has been releasing a lot of 1/35 scale armor lately.

Those yawns are contagious...or is it just FSM?

Yup! I hadn't checked the Anigrand site in a while. That's where it is coming from.

at those prices, all his stuff is very doable. from the build pics, all his stuff is buildable. would it be hard to do a ficon?

A 1/144th XF-85 would be quite small. Not sure if an F-84F was ever available in that scale. Lindberg used to have one around

1/100-1/120th. Then you'd have to rout out the bomb bay on the YB-60.

what about the ficon kit i see in squadron? isn't that

1/144? i could use parts from that. can't remember the maker...wait, it's hobbycraft. i remembered reading trash about the 36 but the 85 isn't what i want.

Shucks, you're right. I forgot about those. Yep, they're 1/144th.
