Our thanks to those who have entered the Special Hobby Grand Giveaway and we look forward to more entries for the kits on offer and also the bonus modelling aids in this promotion.

Just to  refresh, each winner of a kit also receives a CMK razor saw and multi surface sanding stick.





These are fantastic modelling aids and are highly recommended.

Thanks to you and Special Hobby Dave! The razor saw and sanding stick look great.

I would like to make a (1/32 or 1/48 scale) Special Hobby kit because it's something I have stashed but not yet built (not completed, at least...)  ::)

I would love to have the time to build all the Special Hobby kits in my stash very soon, especially my MS Bullet, my P-36 and my Westland Whirlwind. But  I must also be a realist, so I need to admit it won‘t happen in the nearer future. I wish all the winners of this giveaway a good luck with their kits and I am sure you will enjoy building them!

Hi
I would like to do a Special Hobby 1/32 kit because I haven’t done one and saw an interesting scheme for post war Bristol Bullet.
That being said I’m happy to do any kit available in 1/32 out of the box. Also I don’t have a razor saw yet- I know crazy. So that would be a treat.   ;D :D

I would like to build a 1/32 scale " Special Hobby Kit" because it quenches my personal fetish for WW1 airplanes. I will strive to build a beautiful SH airplane if I won one and my favorite airplane would be a Phonix or Pfalz machine, without taking credits away for the other models

I would like to make a 1/32 Fokker DII Special Hobby kit because... when I grow up, I want it to look like Borsos'!

But I'll settle for it to look half as good, though :)

    Perfect good sense edo, however like Brad I believe we can do much better on this with very little effort! With the number and quality of prizes committed to this give away we owe the sponsor a show of thanks and appreciation for their support of the Forum. Our population needs to continue to support the businesses, large and small, that support our little "backwater" in the Hobby of Model Building to make their investments worth the effort less they be forced to seek returns elsewhere. These are great kits and the bread and butter of our leisure pursuits! "Hell's Bells", if I can do this at my age with shaking arthritic fingers, failing eyesight, and the info retention features of a Heinz pickle with a SH Kit just imagine what you could produce from one of these great prizes!?



   Draft a few lines, (But leave room for edo to win  ;) ) and let's keep our little niche open and active!
Cheers,
Lance

I would enter, but I just can't commit to building anything at the moment.
All I can do is wish each and everyone of you GOOD LUCK and God Speed!

Well, let me join, too.
 I would like to win any of 32nd scale Special Hobby kits because it would be a nice company to the only SH kit in my collection - the 72nd scale Lloyd C.V which build I remember as a great experience. And such a model would definitely make me respect SH kits much more, what they surely deserve.

I would like to win a Special Hobby 1/32 or 1/48 kit because it would get my butt in gear to build and FINISH something AND force me to learn how to post my progress pictures.

I would like to win a Special Hobby kit to replace the lovely Bullet or Bristol that lie ruined on my shelf - casualties of my move back from o/s 😪
