Latest Acquisitions (2022)

[Bigfoot57]

Had a small rebate from the taxman so used it to buy some kits I’ve wanted especially the Hanuebu II the Revell one was a mistake as the Squadron model is vastly superior but it took me 2 years to track one down in finally located one online in France the person who sold it was superb it was ordered on the Sunday night and was delivered by Thursday morning
The victory I used to own but that was the original release must be 30 years ago needless to say that went bye bye’s years ago as it wasn’t mounted in a case of any sort so the dust destroyed it that won’t happen this time
The others well the 225 was a must seeing what has happened to it the Mosquito is an iconic WW II plane and the Tamiya version is supposed to be one of the best so that was added I’m also waiting delivery on the Border Models 1/32 Lancaster which took half the rebate otherwise I would have to dig into my bank account for that one there is no way I was not going to order that having a previous 1/32 from Hachette made from wood and metal which was an absolute disaster the wooden supports couldn’t cope with the metal engines and repeatedly snapped so I gave up with that years ago been waiting for a replacement ever since didn’t hear good things about the HK version so waited until the Wingnut Wings was announced at Telford then started following developments until you could actually order one then we had Covid which put the tin hat on it until just recently where I hope to take delivery sometime in July this year ?
Anyway enough waffling

Nice haul Colin. If you got that with your tax refund, I would hate to pay your tax!

Hi all

So picked these up at the MAFVA Nationals today. Nothing too exciting but used the money the kids gave me for Father's day. As Pete said whilst there were plenty of kit traders, there was only one doing supplies such as paint and the like, which was a shame as I was after some.

The magazine was free and I got it because it contains an article helpful for something in going to build.

The green stuff in the bag is camo netting.....I know you can do your own but I don't need much and this is a lot less faff....

I already have two Tiffys too but I'm trying to do a full flight for Junior's forces and this was only £6.

Well done Andy and I'm glad it was a fun time for you at the show.........wish I could have been there. :thumb2:

[adt70hk]

It was indeed. The show is not particularly large in terms of space, my local one is much bigger, but the quality of builds on display was top-notch, but the best bit was to finally put faces to some of the names on here.

ATB.

When I saw this I instantly recalled having had the same model as a kid (with the right parts in the box, obvs). Never ceases to amaze me that our memories can be triggered to recall the most minor things from half a century ago, no bother, yet walk upstairs and I haven't the faintest why I'm up there!

I made a right hash of that hussar, mind. Maybe I should get another copy and try again?

Postie just gave me this:

An ebay purchase <£14. Looking at the parts. they look really good, but the canopy really needs a paint mask!
