Well, I think I've built one WW2 aircraft/tank too many in my life, time to expand my horizons, these arrived today (sorry for size)

At 60 quid cheaper on amazon than anywhere else it was rude not to!

Just bought THE most expensive model item in my model making history (excluding airbrush). Took me ages to save up for it but i am super stoked to be getting it. And to top it off it has been made especially for me as the vendor has now had to give up his business due to illness (for now) and i had been on about getting one of these for a few years now.

So what is this wonder item i hear you mumbling? Well....

1/32 Ju88 G6 conversion set from AIMS. Sorry no pics at the moment as it's still to arrive. But it shall be using the Revell Ju88 A4 kit, getting converted and made up into this little beauty.

That's a nice looking bird. I will follow along.

[AlanG]

It won't be for a while Paul. I have another Ju88 conversion to build first

Was it more than fourteen quid ?

Just slightly. Put another 1 in front of that then you might be near

I only went in for a bit of camo netting...

I got this with a cheeky low offer, delivered today.

The box has seen better days but all the sprues are undamaged in the sealed factory clear bags, seems I have developed a thing for tracks.

Well gentlemen. I have been an exceptionally good boy, so here is my brand new CGI, graphics and video workstation.

I just have to wait now for our son to come and help me set it all up.

Just had the new Army Painter Speed Paints arrive, I've watched a fair few early reviews and they were all positive so figured why not.

Not had much chance to use them yet but managed to get the blue down and I have to say as a miniature painter I love it, I just hope the rest are as good

Love it when I grab an ebay bargain , its like winning the meat raffle ! The Airfix one was £7.44 including postage and the Revell one with Eduard etch was £7.35 including postage so the pair cost less than £15 delivered ! The Revell boxing is the one with the prototype Hagelkorn ( hailstone) glide bomb ( theres an example of one of these at the Cosford museum ) which is the one I’ll be doing , the remaining decal option ,the sand yellow with green spots , will be used on the Airfix kit as I like the scheme. I might do a couple of inbox reviews to compare the two makers different take on the same subject.
