What to buy next ?????

[Guest]

The Typhoon doesn't really appeal ........... The Hobby Boss 1/16 T34 is a possible ....... I found one for £55.00

I wouldn't get the Hobbyboss ones (either the T-34 or their Tiger) coz they're RC kits with very little detail & molded shut hatches etc.

Err hello... There is only one real model coming out this year. The mark 1 escort from belkits haha! Oh and the vw polo :P

Agree on the Escort mate .

The 1/16 t34 by trumpeter sounds good peter , or i know you like a good ship kit so maybe one of the Tamiya 1/350 jobbies , Yamato , Bismarck etc -these always look mighty impressive when built and would take a long time to build so getting maximum bang for your buck. Another one that caught my eye and can be found for around £110 is the new HK models 1/32 Mosquito , cheers tony

I might just do that Rick ............ I've just seen the Meng 1/35 - T90A ......... I built the Meng STS Tiger and that was a superb kit............ I'll have a look at what Jan has, and if nothing sparks my interest, then I think the T90A is the way forward ............ John also has a M198 Howitzer in the shop for a good price. I want one to tow behind the Hillbilly Gun Truck I have.

Have a look at his ebay shop and ask home to bring whatever there is that you might fancy.

I suppose it depends on what type of model you prefer to build. o_O When I was a kid, it was Military and Aircraft kits that I liked most. When I was 17, I joined the Royal Navy and when I was demobbed ten years later, I took a fancy to building ships and submarines, mainly from plastic kits. I then went big time and built a few larger wooden ship kits, which have since, all been sold. I then had a break from modelling, until I retired just recently. I have a bit more time on my hands now, so decided to take up modelling again, but this time, to concentrate on cars and motorbike models. I prefer old classic cars, more than anything and am not into these modern rally or racing car kits, that have loads of decals all over them. So if I had a spare £90 I would opt for the Airfix 1/12 scale 4.5 litre Bentely Blower kit. I alread have one in 1/24 scale, which I have yet to build, but I would love the larger kit. I wouldn't mind some of the Poacher kits, but they are beyond my affordability and skill level, and are pretty hard to get hold of now. So I have to be content with just drooling over kits like those.


Anyway Peter, good luck with your choice and hope that you choose something that you really want to build and something that you will enjoy building.

I'd buy a 50mm 1/4 or 1.8 fixed focus lens and an 18-105mm lens, the fixed focal length because they are good for macro photos and the zoom because it covers the gap between my 18-55mm and 70-300mm lens. But then that doesn't solve the problem of what model you should buy


The question really, is a bit personal - but do you have a big stash? If so, then buy something useful for modelling in some way but not actually a model?

I would have absolutely no idea what to do with them if I had them.

I've had a mosey around John's shop.........and I think my choice is either:
1/35 Trumpeter T90 MBT or AFV Club 1/35 M109 Paladin SPG ............ I know Trumpeter are good kits. But I know nowt about AFV Club ???

Have built Trumpeters T90 and would happily build it again, it is a great kit.
