Labor Day Sale
Starting today Sept.4th.through Sunday Sept.6th. Midnight CST.
All kits etc. on my site are 30% off with exception of the Red Gecko decals which are on close out sale at 50% off. Please be patient on delivery. When I have a sale I do receive a lot of orders and some quite large ones so casting and filling all can get bogged down. Also some molds wear out and I have to spend time remaking them to fill an order.
Feel free to spread the word!

1/48 F-15 Reporter upgrade
Some are just terrified of vacuforms even though they can be much less expensive to both produce and thus sell. At the constant nagging...I mean urging of some of you I have begun the process of remaking the 1/48 F-15 fuselage into a resin set. It will have the cockpit and boarding ladder molded into the fuselage The camera nose will remain as it was before. When released it will be available as part of my old kit set and as a separate item for those wishing to use it with the new Hobby Boss P-61C kit. The paddle blade props and spinners will also be available separately. Some have indicated they think the Hobby Boss props are too narrow and the spinner too small. These items will be available when I reopen.
Now Available!
LSM 40612 $35.00 F-15 Reporter
Note that all parts from the older kit ( cowlings, motors, scoops vacuformed fuselage and interior) are now discontinued. Full detail cockpit molded in, camera nose and decals.

Same new resin fuselage, smooth nose, decals, resin tank

Lone Star Models News
April 2016
Spring is finally here and in Texas this means time for model contests to begin. Our first one most every year is the Model Fiesta held in San Antonio. I was unable to attend again this year. The next event will be here in Houston at the Stafford Center on April 23.
If you are in the area you should make a point to attend. It is a great venue and the local club has some great raffle prizes. There are a large number of great model entries to see too.

I know it is getting old hearing about the Felixstowe and NC-4 but when you are using outside suppliers too you have to wait on their schedules too. But that said the continued delays have not all been someone else's fault.
I have received the final art work for the O-47 decals but due to a 6 week tie up at Micro Scale I am not going to attempt to release the O-47 in July as planned. But it will be in 2016!
The Colditz and LNS-1 gliders are delayed due to decals at Microscale but I should have them in late May, early June .
I am progressing along with the Cletrac but have decided to forgo decals so as not to have it waiting as well.
The 1/72 Basler BT-67 is now available and listed on my web site. I started this set when the only kits were by Italeri/Testors, Airfix? MPC , and ERTL. The parts should fit the new generation kits too. Decals are included for 3 aircraft. Basler corp. aircraft, US Forest Service and Bolivian Police.
Due to requests I have cancelled plans to no longer offer the full 1/48 F-15 Reporter kit with the new resin fuselage for the older Monogram/Revell kits. Both are listed now on my web site but updated photos are still to come.
