Got some cool stuff

Well a couple of things. First here is a picture of my bud Scotty and I at the WRAM show checking out a Roy Vaillancourt Fw 190 F-2 as built by the man himself. What a great looking bird. What you don't know more than likely is this is a rebuild from a rather nasty crash. I'm the guy on the right in the ACU jacket.

1.) Willhobby.com (not the company, but the NY based Ebayer under that name) is a total fucking douche bag. I ordered a E-2C Hawkeye from Ebay from him early in January (like the 2nd). After a couple of days, Ebay sent me a note telling me the auction was cancelled and the guy was banned from Ebay. Problem? Sure, I bought the E-2C from him with Buy Now and payed via PayPal. So after much fighting the plane was FINALLY shipped to me the 1st week of Feburary, or a full month after the item was paid for. Case closed? Not quite. The item, specifically the radome, was nearly unusuable. Opened a case with Paypal, only to get told more or less "Tough luck, he shipped you the product, you are best off working it out with him". FUCK YOU PAYPAL.

2.) I got my Fokker D.VIII 1/6th scale kit from CD Scale Designs (http://www.cdscaledesigns.com/English/Sport%20Scale%20Biplanes/Fokker%20D.VIII/Fokker%20D.VIII%20Titel.html). Its not laser cut, its router cut, but they are well done. Its a very complete kit too, needing only wheels and covering. Just about everything else, including two Williams Brothers 1/6th Spandau machine guns are included!

3.) I don't remember mentioning it, but I picked up a small .50 size Zero BARF from CMP (China Model Products) from NitroPlanes.com. All in all, for $79.00 it was well worth it. I'm just about ready to install the motor (a .52 SuperTigre motor). Its a good looking BARF in all honesty.
