As a result of a cheeky bid on ebay, I got this.................
Short run model - a HUGE wingspan, even in 1/72!

Hmmm,
In 1/72 it has a wingspan of 470mm! I'll have to find a special place to keep that.......

I just happened to pop into a Aldi store and I had a rifle trough their starter sets and came away with this one.

The levelling thinner stinks to high heaven Bob, but combined with Tamiya paint and what a lovely finish it gives :blow-kiss-2:

Went to town today and bought some supplies:

The interesting thing here is the little tin, labelled Tranfer [sic] vloeistof — “Transfer fluid”, with a typo … It has no brand name or manufacturer or anything on it, but I noticed it in a generic hobby shop (models, sewing, candlemaking, sculpting etc. etc. etc.) because the label explains how to use this to make your own transfers using a laser printer: print out a mirror image of the marking, apply the paper to the model with the printed side down, apply fluid and remove paper. Never seen it before, but I’m definitely going to try it out.

Also, in another shop I bought a kit I’ve been wanting to get for a while:

I'm sure this is the method to use HGW Wet Transfers/Decals. although i think they say to use certain types of products only.

Does it smell like acetone? I used acetone to transfer a print on wood...

I’m not familiar with those so I can’t say, sorry

I’ve not actually opened the tin yet, but as you can see on the label in the photo, it says “bevat xyleen” but it doesn’t mention acetone. In fact it doesn’t mention any other ingredients at all

On one of my regular sweeps on ebay, I found this:
- £9.99 delivered! I could not pass that up! For less than the price of an evening in the pub ( beer £ 3.70 a pint in my local ), I think that's a real bargain. ( I made the earlier version a few years ago..............)

Hi all

So a variety of things have arrived in the past week in a pre-Christmas influx. As always all absolutely essential, of course!! :tongue-out3::smiling5:

There will be no more kit arrivals for the foreseeable future, as I literally cannot get any more kits in the cupboard.

White ink gel pens for writing names on some vehicles - 0.3, 0.5 and 0.8mm in size. Early tests look promising, if needing a bit of practice! I have subsequently discovered some 2mm adhesive letters and so have ordered those too.

Three barrels for my PSC Stugs. Just for Bob

This was a freebie given to our model club at a recent show and they very kindly gave it it to Junior at the meeting on Monday night.

Now I'm doing more planes I decided to invest in one of these to make life easier and especially to protect my work for when I have to clear the modelling table as I have to do on a regular basis.

Next up are some barrels - one for Junior's AA Crusader and the other from his Daimler armoured car (the same as used on the Matilda from what I can see)

This is what the 20mm OERLIKON should look like once completed - I hope!

One can never have enough scenery for our little battles! This was bought from a small online supplier and was around 25% off RRP, not that they are easy to find for anywhere close to this once P&P is taken into account.

To compliment the 110 G-4 I bought recently, when I saw this at 25% less than RRP from the same supplier as the house I could not resist!
