Halinski Callout

**dansls1** · #1 07-07-2009, 10:20 PM

I've been considering this for a while. In a ton of threads, I see people who are scared, intimidated or otherwise hesitant to build the beautiful kits issued by the top-end publishers, and Halinski specifically more than others. So this thread is for the person with whatever number of Hal kits sitting on the shelf but who has never built one. Yes, I know that applies to a number of you!
So - here's the challenge - build your first Halinski, and include a build thread!
As this is a challenge, and not a contest as such - the 'prize' will apply to all that join - and it will be the pride of finishing something you've put off, the camaraderie of trying something new and exciting with a couple of mates and the joy the 'ooh's and aah's you will get from the peanut gallery.

So maybe this thread will bring one or 2 of you out of the woodwork to join the 'my first Halinski' build threads

Dan,

I am totally on board with this one, but I need to get a few things out of the way first. Gotta finish the He-51W (honey-do's have kept me off-task for a week

), and I'm waiting for Krys at Paper Model Store to (hopefully) pick up some laser-cut frames. Oh, and probably should finish the CR.42, too. Looking at a sometime in the fall start date, but anxious to see what others will start up.

Cheers!

the prize doesn't sound very rewarding:D

Sounds interesting. I have two to build; P-51D of the P-47D

Trouble is I can't decide which :(

Sounds interesting Dan - but the only Halinski kits I have are tanks. What is the timeline on this?

**redhorse** · #6 07-08-2009, 07:09 PM

OK, just counted. I've got 22 Halinskis :D

Shortly, I should be building one - just need to decide which kit. (Shortly is a relative term, I need to finish something first)

do you have the laser cut parts and canopies for all 22? I would build a halinski kit but first I need to get one:D

No laser cut parts yet and no canopies either, but over half are ships and tanks. Plus I want to try my hand at making canopies one of these years...

Since it's just a 'callout' challenge, the timeline is whatever timeline you make for yourself

I just was hoping for some more newbies to the Hal kits to join me in jumping in the deep end, so to speak

Cool! I think I might give this a try sometime. I have a Tomcat sitting in the pile....
