Been very good not adding to the stash, but still need to keep the supplies topped up. Usual excellent service from John.....

Ok chaps.....

So I have had been quite good on the kit acquisition front, not having bought anything since 29th December...... and indeed not acquiring/buying anything until Feb!! Can't remember when I went this long without getting a kit!!

ACW as usual.

So first up I got this free a couple of weeks ago from a club member, as Airfix had included the wrong kit in a Dogfight Doubles and it wasn't his thing. This obviously goes nicely with my 1/72 Brit aircraft. From what I can gather £10 is about the right price.









This one I saw on sale at last weekend's show, with someone at a club table getting rid of some kits. It's not my usual subject but it really caught my eye. This is a reboxing of Hasegawa 2006 kit, that is a by all accounts a very nice kit. Eduard has also reboxed it. The absolute cheapest new I can find this is currently £32, with £25 being the cheapest 2nd hand sale on eBay.....I paid £20, so all in all not a bad price!

Latest purchases 😊

It’s a new release of a bit of an oldie, hopefully goes together ok.
I’ve never built a Heller kit before, one thing a bit different is the kit is not in plastic bags inside the box but the runners are separated by sheets of paper, more environmentally friendly I suppose 🤔


And some paint 🙂

Geoff.

Little package arrived today from the SMS, cheers.
A new 1:16th scale figure, a German Infantryman in Winter gear.
New pots of micro sol/set.
Some micro chains for my vehicles.
A new scribing tool.

[wotan]

Latest acquisition for me. Genesis G70 3.3 litre twin turbo AWD, 365 HP 370 Torque, a real little goer. Shame we still have so much snow so can't really let her go yet.

Classy ride.

[OldWalrus]

Offered for sale by a fellow IPMS member at last night's meeting, good price and nice looking kit. Undecided whether it will be built as a Red Arrow or as a more military looking aircraft. The red plastic will be interesting to deal with whatever the decision.

[Valeron]

Bought this for the vintage airfix GB. I did build this ib around 1976 as a child and always wanted to revisit it when I got back into modelling.

The decals are currently basking in the sun, hopefully to whiten them up a bit. No idea if this trick really works.

[Geoffers]

Nice choice Mike 😎
I’ve tried the window trick with yellowed transfers and it did improve them but I had to leave them for quite a while as I remember.

Evening all

And in shock news, I feel need to report the NON-acquisition of anything truly kit related at the model show I went to today....that's right......I didn't buy or acquire any kits, paints, supplies or similar!!

The only thing I did acquire was the below magazine a trader was giving away for nothing.

The empty kitchen bench proving nothing was bought.....shocking I know!







The magazine.....

You bought nothing! Shame on you. How are traders going to survive 😄

[PaulTRose]

[yak face]
