Well, this weekend I expect to get the Iwata HP-SBS airbrush. When I do get it I'll do a rundown on it. But I don't expect to be able to test it out this week since my local hobby shop may not be getting Iwata-specific airhoses until next week. I could go out and buy the adaptor for my Badger-type airhose, but its cheap, its about a metre long and is coiled. I'd prefer something namebranded anyway. With this airbrush I am planning on trying to complete some models before November, which is the expected date for the 2nd Toronto Model Contest. But to finish the models I currently have, I need to purchase spare clear sprues from Borgfeldt since I screwed up on the 3000GT and the avex DOME Mugen NSX since the Tamiya masking tape sucks cr@p. I plan on using latex masking (liquid masking) instead. It may be more time consuming, but atleast I wont have broken up pieces of plasting flying across the room and into my trash bin when the paint starts bleeding through the lousy Tamiya masking... Two cars already RUINED because the Tamiya masking tape was so lousy that it can't even do its own job of masking surfaces. I even have the EVA-02 model to do, wow... I need to schedule, since I think I am falling behind in some courses. Business before pleasure. I shall up my marks before I start anything big.

Well, I've been thinking whether to start building the computer that I've been waiting 'paitiently' to build, but alas, I've found something else for the time being. I was browsing through the Used Goodies section of Advance Hobby's site and I found a used Kyosho V-One RR Evolution running for $200. All it needs is an engine and the standard electronics needed for a nitro vehicle. Pretty sweet deal. I think this is the model that has the front one-way diff and the rear gear diff. Which is great, since I hate maintainance and ball diffs are a lot of hassle. What I like is that this isn't some toy-type Tamiya R/C model, this is a high-end performance machine. I'm planning on getting it next week if my dad can come up with an extra $100 to buy my Rock Buster (yuck) off me. I thought that a used product would be sold for exact pricing, but the hobbyshop said something about the taxes being on top of the cost... What's with that? I swear it's used and now the stupid government has no control of it anymore... Wow... An extra $28 or so dollars, probably going to be a week late, but I hope we can work it out, or atleast have my dad cover the tax for me (yeah, right)

I've also been thinking about what I'm gonna do with the Hornet. The left wing mount (left, as in the driver's point of view) is totally ruined, the wing just flaps around if I'm going fast enough for the wind's resistance to play a role... I've still have not sent in the Peak Jaguar 23x2 motor for repair yet, but as is, I'm very disappointed, I think I'll just run it until it's done, its a freebie motor from the wretched Rock Buster kit, and what the hey, I could use something else to wreck in the Hornet... I may aswell go bash the cr@p out of the hornet that it breaks into little pieces, since its going to be replaced (hopefully) by a true performance machine. Toy cars are for boys, performance cars are for big boys.
