Lol £22.00 and that was the cheapest i could find anywhere, and thats for a 40ml tube. The 225ml tubes go for about £80 !!

Flippin’ ‘eck, you’ll be buying lapis lazuli next…..
Seriously, it’s not that expensive when you realise that it will literally last the rest of your life.

True , just expensive to the rest which are around £5- £8 and the amount i use as a tint/filter will out last me by a long shot :smiling5: :smiling5: :smiling5:

This just arrived I know most you will know what this is they have changed the box it’s a lot deeper than previous so it’s a bit shorter as well it still packed overflowing with sprues
I have done a photographic review of every single spru that’s about 60 pic in all
I’ve shown a couple of the clear parts the last 2 are a normal view of the bomb aimers panel and final one is looking straight through the panel to show how clear and distortion free it is

I just checked, and even in the country where it’s made, it costs about €22 to buy a tube of that size. You can have 18 ml for only €13, though

Hi all

So two more arrivals here....

The first was an eBay 'Buy it now' purchase at only £7 delivered and so I thought it would be rude not too, especially given what I have in mind for it......

The second is for my Hunters and Hunted Collection (link).

This is the third in a series of new tool Stirlings from Italeri. The 2nd one is a glider version and so no use for my collection, the Mk I is like hens teeth and stupidly pricey. This one has only just been released and is so new that I can't find any canopy masks for it yet. This is also the most expensive kit I have by a couple of quid, that said it was the cheapest price I could find anywhere and even came P&P free.....in fact it was 10-20% cheaper than most other places selling it.

Must admit, those Kongos had a hell of a bridge on them. Called a “Pagoda” bridge wasn’t it Bob? Must have been top heavy in any sort of sea and rolled excessively. Secondary battery looks quite “wet” in that image as well….were these updated first war designs?

Sorry missed the insults and turncoat a bit harsh me thinks. Still have a large amount of StuG kits Inc the 1/16

Yes Tim IJN had a obsession with pagoda Bridges, massive on the FUSE and ISE, must have made them very top heavy and a lot of there ships were

This just arrived, a "slease"bay buy it now. Still has the plastic seal wrap so I don't know if it is the gray or white styrene version yet.
Guess I'll find out when it comes time to build it.

That looks like the original boxing, same as my old one. Should be grey plastic I think……great stuff. Really brings back memories….
