Well, I think they have scratched our group from getting anymore samples. I am aware of at least four that have been sent out and not completed or posted. One was binned after the modeler determined it wasn't buildable....so that is five?
Adam - C-47
Stik - F4
BlackSheep214 - P51
Duke - Stearman
Please try to get these knocked out and PLEASE put them in their own WIP so it can be shared with Revell.
Thanking you in advance for your prompt attention to this....
Lyle.

Re: Sample kits from Revell
Sorry boss... Life intervened and I stalled. It will be completed. I can't say when. Sometime in the not too distant future I hope. I just want to do this kit the justice it deserves. OOB, of course.

Re: Sample kits from Revell
Same here, Lyle. I will try my best to get a jump on it - maybe mid-June after Little League is done.

Re: Sample kits from Revell
Thanks, guys. Please do all that you can. Perhaps we can get back in the good graces of Revell.

Re: Sample kits from Revell
I apologize. I had been waiting for my thread and it never came so I'll find something else to rig it with. I was afraid something like this was going to happen. I'll try to get right on this.

Actually, I've not been able to find anything suitable. I'm just going to complete this sans rigging and get it posted. After that, if I can find something suitable I'll give rigging this a shot. It's taking too long. That's what I get for choosing a biplane.
Watch for this sometime this week.

Re: Sample kits from Revell
No EZ Line at Brookhurst Mark? I heard that the carried that stuff. Or if your a real masochist you can try stretched sprue

Re: Sample kits from Revell
Last time I was there I didn't see any, sometimes their stock of certain things runs out and it takes time to replace. Then when they get it in, I'm outta cash so I couldn't get it anyway. No, I won't do stretched sprue either; if I'm going to do this, I'll do it right. Brookhurst isn't the easiest place for me to get to either. Besides, I'm tired of this sitting here; I just want it done. I shouldn't have offered to do this since it's not even my scale, but what's done is done. I'm going to finish it up and get it posted so I can move on. Later, if I can get anything, I'll rig it up if I get the gumption to do it.

Re: Sample kits from Revell
Duke, if you're doing it as an out of box build, does it really matter if you added rigging? Just a thought....
