Interesting idea. Let us know how it works.

Hi Jim it does work very very well and you never knock anything over and the pens don't leak all over the place.

Hey Pete,

That's a really cool idea with the pens. I might have to nab that idea for myself Sir.

Prost

Evening all .
Some time ago Allen had offered to get me some Fruil tracks at the show.
This is what was delivered today, hot from the Show in the Netherlands. Dude 1 aka Allen " Rocket Man " Dewire and Fernando had kindly agreed to get these on my behalf at the show. What a deal they must have done to get them for such a good price.

and a surprise gift from Fernando in with the Tracks. Posted on Monday arrived here today, not bad postal service.
Oh nice packing by the way Fernando, they arrived in perfect condition.

Thanks Fernando.
Just shows what a great forum we belong to.
Allen and Fernando thanks.
John.

Postie delivered this...................................[ATTACH]317691[/ATTACH]

It's the Accurate Miniatures Dauntless moulding, with masks, and a tiny PE seatbelt fret.
I've never been a fan of Academy's own tooling, but the reboxing of this, and the Vindcator - from the same stable, is excellent - and the price was good as well, a real plus

And poor Fernando has to eat Hamburger Helper without the Hamburger for a month!!! I see you did manage to slip a few in there that I didn't catch. Yoda, the X wings, the 1/350 aircraft set and ladder sets. The ladders do look sweet though. Have fun My friend!!!!!!!

Did you two leave anything for the other visitors?

[Allen Dewire]

Hi Dave,

Yes, we left a lot for the others. I must admit that this show is a wallet killer, but in a good way. Make a list and try to stick to it. Fernando's list was much longer than mine. There are so many vendors and you can usually make a good deal too.

My list had one kit on it and it was a resin kit from Azimut. The kit's molds were not remade in time for Didier to bring it with. I don't need to add to the stash and therefore no other kits were on my list, just Accessoires, paint and tools. The V2 kit sorta slipped in there when I wasn't looking. If you ever get the chance, you have to check this show out...It's incredible!!!

Alas, that seems very unlikely. I've never been further abroad than Anglesey - and even then I went over the bridge so I guess that doesn't really count!

Still, there's always Cosford, and even if it isn't as big a show, it's worth going to meet up with the Cosford Massive!

<is interested> What vehicles do you have in mind. I also bought this (along with a PAK 35/36) a couple of weeks ago...I'm still deciding what I'll use as a tow vehicle.
The PAK 35/36 is going behind (or with) a SDKFZ 251/1
