Latest Acquisitions (2022)

[The Smythe Meister]

Some nice looking planes there Alex,
I`ve also been a bit naughty........
3 kits.......
Something OLD,if not the first kit i EVER made as a young lad,then it`s certainly close to it........ Just a bit of a trip down memory lane,it`s even the same "Bagged" example.....

Next,in line with my current liking for slightly unusual looking AFVs,another Mirage kit.......

Finally,and i have NO IDEA WHY!!:flushed:.........

...... guess i`ll be doing a little WW2 Diorama in the not too distant then!!:thinking:

That Renault UE will be tiny Andy. I did a 1/72 version for the Simon T group build and was amazed how small it was.

Sorry for the pic orientation. It was taken and saved in portrait mode.

Anyway...trying to branch out into new areas. Found this for a good deal on ebay. Extremely daunting and I don't think it will be touched for some time!

Good evening all

So there have been some recent arrivals at my abode this week....


First off these. It was actually cheaper to buy two small ones than a big one due to pricing and P&P anomalies.....never used it before and have a cunning plan!






Now onto the biggies......

As you know it was our 20th wedding anniversary a couple of weeks ago and these are my present (my wife is getting a ring BTW).

As you will see, most of what follows is a deviation from the one true scale of 1/72........all I need to do is find a place to keep the boxes.... :tired:



This is for my 'Hunters and Hunted' collection (link HERE).

I actually managed to pick it for about £10 less than the RRP. It's also a sentimental purchase, as I built one as a child and thought I had to get one when Airfix released the new tooling.





This is actually Dave Ward's fault, not that he may remember. He built this about 18 months ago and when I said how much I liked their 1/72 stuff and liked the look of this, he said I should give this a go. Thanks Dave!





I liked the look of this when it came out. They're actually hard to come by now and after much searching I found this for £10 less than the RRP.





Finally this.....

I have wanted to build a decent Churchill for some time now for sentimental reasons. Both by grandfathers worked for Vauxhall during the war, with one being a toolmaker for them. He had volunteered for the RAF but was deemed to be in a reserved occupation because of his skills.

I deny all knowledge of this! It wasn't me, I was in Patagonia at the time, someone hi-jacked my account.............
but.............
I'm more than happy to recommend models for forum members to spend their money on! I'd only do that for models I've actually made, and enjoyed........................

I’ve not built any of those except the Churchill (well, another variant of it), but that is a really good kit. It is AFV Club, however, so even though it fits well it can be a little fiddly to build. Most importantly, don’t try to build the suspension like the instructions suggest

Ok. Will come back to you on that when I get to it !!
