Arrived today, I've been after a now discontinued 70's era Tamiya M3 Lee as preferred by 'Platz' in their offering of 'Rabbit Team' Girls & Panzer M3 kit, but the ones I can find are ruinously expensive so this 'I❤️Kit' M3 Lee is the right type and version plus arguably a better kit and half the price!

Also managed to get the Mr Color paints Platz recommended for the St Gloriana crew for the Churchill which I'll be assembling at the weekend

(Sorry John, I tried to order from your shop but the all important C100 'Wine Red' for the girls smart tunics is 'out of stock' in your excellent online shop)



Oh, got this too


Miko (running out of tanks to buy for my GuP projekt)

[Jim R]

Missus Miko says if I buy another tank kit she will divorce me! Sooooo. . . .

Oh dear, oh dear. That is a tank. You are in bother. Divorce is expensive. I suggest red roses, some expensive jewellery and a large box of chocolates. Just a chance you'll be forgiven.

Yep, I'll see a lawyer tomorrow and get my tank stash exempt from any settlement negotiations! Ha!

Miko (what she doesn't know won't hurt her. . . . or me!)

Surprisingly heavy.
It'll have to wait until I've finished the Gnat though.

Had a delivery from John (SMS) thanx mate...
Few bits, a couple of new paint brushes, another tiny ship (USS Enterpise 1:1200 scale), and some drill bits.
Also got a photo etch set for my yet to be built, Tamiya Bren Gun Carrier in 1:35 scale, to add a bit of detail.

[pjgtech]

On my visit to the East Kent model show at Manston today I did buy a couple of kits that have been on my wishlist for a long time....

First up is a nice AFV Scorpion tank, been after one of these for a while, in my Yoof I had many Action Men and also had lots of accessories, including a large Scorpion Tank, and have always wanted to build a nice model of one, this one includes a metal gun barrel and a few bits of photo etch to add a bit of details, and various decal / paint schemes....so here it is....


Second up was a Lanc, I built one as a nipper and butchered it, but it hung proudly from my ceiling anyway for many years. But now I'm back into it "proper" so to speak, I want to build another one and try to do it justice, so I juts went for a bog standard Airfix 1:72 Dambusters one.
