Latest Acquisitions (2021)

[Guest]

Much excitement here at Race Towers, a long awaited parcel from Jadar Hobbies in Poland. Must say the packaging was perfect for such a long journey.

Many of you will remember this from another forum , last time it was in 1/72, managed to find it in 1.35 by the same maker. Not Russian but an odd ball so worth doing.
Now wheres that grey, Bob have you got any spare ?:smiling2:


Of course I had to have this next one.


Looks like a T60 chassis, the instructions look fun, not !


Plastic link and length tracks, this time I am determined to do they, even as small as they are.

I’ve got one of those in the stash, minus the box. My current intention is to use it to replicate this photo with a Takom M31 TRV:

The BM-8-24 looks like a pain … a long time ago I built what I think is the basic tank kit this is based on, and it wasn’t great.

Depends on what you consider fun Paul :smiling3:

That photo from Jakko certainly gives an impression on the size. Suppose I could do a Russian pulling it out !

I said I wasn't going to get any more 1/700 ship models, but people will insist on putting things on ebay, that are a bargain!

£12.50 delivered - parts still sealed in polybags. Can't say I remember making a modern Russian ship, so this will be new - surprisingly big!

Dave, It's just terrible what some eBay sellers do, isn't it?

Had a pleasant surprise from the payroll guy at the college i retired from, backpay from a payrise given when was still on the books and they miscalcuated the holiday pay, so a very nice payment into the bank. So with it I just had to spend it

From Ebay, cheapest i have seen this outside of Japan plus a 15% discount voucher taking nearly £35 off and its a beast

The detail is astonishing, postie now has a bad back

Some will think i am nuts and be right lol, intened to buy this at some stage so at the price and my extra cash, what the hell. Got a few to build and hone my meaque skills before taking the glue to this!!
