Latest Acquisitions (2021)

[Dave Ward]

I bought some 1/72 Jet Pilots off ebay - pleased with those, so got these from the same seller :

RAF WWII pilots in 1/48 some have masks on, some don't. They need a sharp knife to remove a few bits here and there - but look OK ( <£7 delivered )

Time for another go.

Junior was given a Challenger Mk 1 at a model club night. He's a bit past it at 13 but he enjoyed it nonetheless. You're grandson will love it!!

Hopefully - he seems to take an interest in the ones we've got about here, though whether as toys or ornaments I'm not sure :thinking:
Hopefully, it'll also re-ignite his dads interest (who at least took his Subi kit home with him at the weekend)

just the right width for 1/9th horse reigns;



no more trying to stick tamiya tape back to back or trying to cut lead strip in perfect lines

[Tim Marlow]

Great idea Steve. Hope the label change is correct though….

[peterairfix]

I had something big something very very big delivered and the book as well.
But something caught my eye on the box.
Depends on how many pieces you want it in.

I've seen that flat lead strip advertised recently and thought it was a good idea. Webbing, horse reins and much more :thumb2:

Were you tempted by the aftermarket deck/PE set sir? It's pretty expensive and doesn't look like it would add all that much value to me, but I may be in a minority

[peterairfix]

Decking yes pe no as I already have pe overload from my bismarck

Hi all

So some arrivals in the last couple of days.

---------------------------------------------------------

This arrived today, second hand for under a tenner as I'm working on Cromwells for Junior and almost as good as new.





So fantastic service from John (and in fairness DPD). Ordered 14:11 on Monday and arrived approx.13:30 Tuesday, less than 24 hours

I ordered some things for me for Christmas and so also took the opportunity to order a spare needle for my Sparmax AB, very reasonable for under £10.





Then somehow three things from 'wish list' ended up in the box too......if anyone can explain how, please let me know!

So this is for my 'Hunters and Hunted' collection (more info on that from here).





And these have caught my more than once....the eagle eyed will spot that it's the wrong time period for me.....

Thought I'd give these a go heard good things, not overly impressed with the life colour set.

[AlanG]

I think they are great Mark. Not as good as alclad but for an acrylic they imho are spot on.
