That Do17 is a nice kit. I'd recommend getting a canopy mask set though!

...or do what I did with mine - Bury the front end in a row of houses and hide it all!

Been wanting to do another bike for ages......think i might keep this for the paint it black gb

The chi ha was just cos it was so cheap.....one ive never done even tho its an old kit.....from mid 70s.......back when i was a kid it just didnt appeal to me

[Miko]

Not wanting to appear like I'm a bit obsessed with it! But dare I venture building the Type 97 from Chi-Ha-Tan Academy in Girls und Panzer!

As a kit, they are cheap aren't they? I might have to accidentally add one to the stash myself! Ha!

[adt70hk]

OK chaps, so the below arrived at my house on Friday......







As you will see below it contained eight of the Warpaint series of books on planes. I have all of these planes in the stash and I like to know a bit about the planes I am building. I like them as they’re a nice intro to a topic without going overboard and have lots of good reference shots.

I found someone selling them second hand on Fleabay but to be honest six look like they’re brand new and even where there is some wear on the other two, it’s minimal in one case and perfectly acceptable in the other.

The brand new prices vary on the ones I got from £13.50 to £18.50 for the larger volumes, with the total coming in at £116 for all eight.

However, thanks to a multi-buy discount by the seller I got 20% off his already reasonable prices…..so they only cost me £73…..not so shabby I think you would agree!!! 🤫

ACW as usual

Great haul Andrew 👍

[Miko]

Brilliant series, fantastic reseach material

[adt70hk]

Geoffers, Miko - glad you agree with me and when I'm done I can try selling them and hopefully get back what I paid out, at least close to.

Bought another Airbrush and Compressor, both used and just in need of tidying up a bit
Time for a sale I reckon, I've now got three iwata compressors and the same number of Eclipse Airbrushes.
Enjoy checking them over and cleaning them up, but that's it for now, honest it is.

[Miko]

Very nice, a bit posh too, I have to settle for a Chinese copy from Fengda

[Miko]

I had to explain to missus Miko how I 'accidentally' fell on to the 'buy it now' button a few times!




and special thanks to John for the discount on this one . . .



and special thanks to John for the discount on this one, a rare Tiger (P) designed by Herr Porche as can be seen on the box art



Miko (getting into 'tankery')

[adt70hk]

And so just how did the 'accidental fall' explanation go down???

[Richard48]

Well Miko its so easily done.Browsing merrily online and ooops you maybe sneeze and press buy on something hehe.Nice bit of retail therapy is good for the soul i say.Nice choices tho!!!!.Love the KV 2 and Tiger P.

[Miko]

Considering the era, role and nations the these kits represent and the theme of my recent additions to the stash of my tanks it's simple to realize where these 'what if' builds are going!
