Just goes to show that despite all the expensive kits and 'stuff' around a lot of fun can still be had for very little money.

A throwback to last century modelmaking, and how I became interested in odd aircraft that weren't produced by the big makers - vacforms - real garage productions. Hallam-Vac was just down the road from me, in Sheffield ( early to late 80's ). I made one other of their models - a Westland Welkin, bought directly from the maker at the local IPMS.............

An ebay purchase - vacform, with white metal parts by Aeroclub ( anyone remember John Adams? ). Valom did a limited run model of this ( pricey! ). 147 Brigands were made to replace the Beaufighter, it saw action in Malaya post - war. These models take a bit of work, but at <£11 delivered, a bit of nostalgia!

Hi all

So what follows has been arriving over the past three weeks or so but I've not had time to do it justice and I also had to wait a bit longer than I thought for some of it, plus other things kept getting ordered.....:smiling5:

Some Vallejo paints to fill a couple of gaps in my range...not very exciting TBH






As you know I've been branching out on wingy things for a while now but have only got masks when they came as part of the kit, so I had some catching up to do - the thought of DIY ones on all the planes I have was keeping me awake at night!!!

As you can see most are Eduard but the three bottom right are Montex. I've already used the 109 Montex mask - my first use of an AM canopy mask - and was very impressed






This was the final piece to arrive - today - and it's my first foray into masks for markings. I hadn't intended to go that far but they came in at a very reasonable price.....but wait, if you've been keeping track of my Hunters and Hunted collection you'll remember I don't have a Whitley..... :rolling:






This fell into my cart when I was getting the masks, not sure how much I'll use but thought I'd add some bling to Mossie for the GB - definitely an extravagance though....:rolling:






So this Daimler Armoured Car is for Junior's British forces. He already has one but thought it would be nice to do a full troop. Got this for only a smidge over £10 delivered - the third cheapest e-Bay sale at the time; most go for £12+ and often by quite a bit more.






So remember that Whitley I don't have.......whilst there are a few of the maritime variants around, the bomber version is like hens teeth unless you want to pay stupid prices i.e. £40. This was the cheapest eBay 'recent sales' by some way and cost me £20+p&p - not cheap in absolute terms but relatively speaking a very good price and I think was also a bit under the original RRP too....:smiling3::smiling3::smiling3::smiling3::sm iling3:

Bought so that I can join Ian's GB. It was pre-owned but new in the box and a bit cheaper than buying new. As I know this kit will be popular I bought aftermarket decals to build it as an Israeli AF plane which hopefully will be something different.




I have cockpit masks and a PE instrument panel on order.

I have that in the stash. But doing a night fighter variant for this GB.

I built a couple of those, they are quite nice kits and should be sturdy enough for wargaming — they have metal rods for the axles, for one.

Well not modelling related...but this little lump comes home next week, and will likely detract from bench time. Connie

Indeed. Liked the first one I built a lot.
