Hot Babe of
the week is up. A smattering of T-2C Buckeye pics are the subject
this week. Don Logan is in there with some great photos from "back
in the day".
Lately you've been probably wondering why there
seems to be some "Buckeye Love" going on over here at Twobobs. Well
this week is the week that we finally announce the news that we've
been sitting on over here for quite some time.
Yep,
that's right we got a T-2C Buckeye kit coming in 1/48th scale!
Freakin' awesome!!
We've been working in conjunction with
MPM in the Czech Republic and the IPMS club in Columbus, OH to pull
this together and we'll be debuting this kit at the 2009 IPMS
National Convention in August. You can pre-order your kit now to be
sure you get yours before they're all gone. The text below is
directly from our website.
"We are now making available for
pre-order, two kits of this very important aircraft. Both of these
kits will debut at the 2009 IPMS National Convention in Columbus,
OH, the birthplace of the Buckeye!
US Sales of this kit will
be handled exclusively here at Twobobs. The kit will only be
available to US consumers through our website. Overseas consumers
will be able to secure the kit through only two overseas
distributors, Hannants in the UK and in Japan through various hobby
shops that are supplied by Beaver Corporation.
Kits will be
shipped to US, pre-order customers after the convention (early
September 2009). Shipping will be by USPS Priority Mail and we will
have to charge for shipping on this product only.
When
placing preorders for this kit, it is important to note:
ORDER THIS ITEM AS A STAND ALONE ITEM, DO NOT ORDER IT IN
CONJUNCTION WITH OTHER ITEMS FROM THE WEBSITE! COMPLETELY CHECK OUT
AND COMPLETE YOUR ORDER AND DO NOT PLACE OTHER ITEMS ONTO YOUR ORDER

48-001 is limited to 500 ea and this is a special boxing for the
2009 IPMS National Convention. Only 250 kits will be available for
pre-order purchase through the website for US customers only. The
balance of 250 kits will be made available at the IPMS National
Convention. This kit features special markings for the 75th
Anniversary of Naval Aviation.
TBK 48-002 is also limited to
an initial boxing of 500 kits. This entire, initial run is available
for pre-order through our website to US customers only. There will
be an additional production run after the IPMS National Convention
and these kits will be made available to the rest of the world
through our distributors.
Twobobs along with Twomikes will
be releasing decal and resin accessories for this kit. These items
will not be available for pre-order and will debut at the 2009 IPMS
National Convention."
We of course will be releasing decal
sheets to go along with these kits and TwoMikes will be releasing
resin update sets in conjunction also. All of these items will be
debuting at the IPMS National Convention along with the kits.
