LVTP-5 Books?

Hi Group,

An author who’s books are reviewed on kit maker reached out to me looking for some help finding this LVTP-5 book, or a recommended substitute.

In 2016, Highgloss Publ. published David Koller’s book, called LVTP-5.

There was a review about book on armorama.com by Brian:

I’ve looked for copies online and found none. Have not looked at EwwwBay yet.

Men, do any of you have a copy of that book you’d like to say goodbye to, or know where I can tell him to get a copy?

Thanks, Fred

If you mean Ebay, why don’t you just write Ebay?

Kurt, because it is a common and widespread phenomenon to refer to eBay in a light-hearted satricic misspelling.

That’s all.

@Frenchy as usual, you provide useful results without trying to bust someone’s chops. Thank you for that.

I cannot explain why when I went to their site earlier today, it kept giving me the result “site not found”.

Frenchy, thank you again. I will provide your URL to the modeler.

This is not exclusively about the LVTP-5, but may be of some utility:

Funny thing - I have this book! But it’s my treasure, I would only part with it after I’ve built my LVTP-5 with interior… I hope I can pull this off before my time is up…

Have a nice day!

@BootsDMS thank you for the suggestion. I found that and send it to him as an alternative. Although…he primarily wants the dash 5 but he also mentioned a couple others that he’s building. All 1/72.

@Pawel Completely understandable. I have a few books that have requested to be cremated with me.

Men, thank you again for the useful replies.

Yeah, I know.

And I also know that after 25+ years it’s tired, old, and it does nothing to make the speakers seem intelligent.

It’s amazing to me that a published author (“An author who’s books are reviewed on kit maker”) knew the book’s publisher but was not able to ferret this out by himself. Makes one wonder about the research going into those books.

Like a classic car and vintage wine on one’s silver anniversary! At 25 years things are just starting to get good.

Kurt, thanks for the memories. You’re a peach!

To each their own.

Interestingly enough, I have three friends who love to make silly wordplays. One is a professor of plasma physics. Another one is a rocket scientist with successful gizmos “up there”. All three of us know that there are three types of people in the world, those who can count, and those who can’t.

@Harv thanks for those. There are a couple I haven’t heard yet. Just think of how many more there may be in another 25 years! :grinning_face:

I’m very little flesh, quite a bit of stone.

K-cars and Yugos did not improve with age, and many old wines are now just vinegar. It’s a rare thing that gets better with age and hackneyed puns aren’t one of them.

The Ebay quips sound to me like the 53-year-old guy who still thinks its funny to say “Booger? Did you say your name was Booger?” every time he runs into Tom Berger, a guy he’s known since 5th grade.

same as i call it EvilBay

From your comments (and a few others around the site) you seem to have lost the joy and fun out of life. Don’t be so serious, you’ll seem a much nicer bloke if you do

Always loved your honesty Kurt.

Keep being you brother.

there are also 10 types of people in computer enginering,
those who understand binary numbers and those who don’t.

Learning to count to 31 on the fingers and thumb of one hand is
a good exercise in finger agility, using both hands opens up the
range to 1023.
Hex or hexadecimal opens up a much larger range (65534) with just four fingers …

I’m not sure how many combinations I’m up to but I’ve got similar exercises as therapy for my arthritic thumbs.
