Latest Acquisitions (2022)

I have thought about that Pete. The prob is the kits were evilbay buys, with no guarantee. If I just tried to order the set from Taiwan, it would end up costing more than it's worth or finding something cheaper on evilbay......

Has to be worth asking them surely? They might be sitting on a pile of the parts you need!

Well,after a ,(Literally),last minute bid on the bay that is Evil last week,this,for a VERY good price ended up in my sticky little paws today:thumb2:.....

..... Yep,as the X2 says in the top corner,there ARE 2 complete kits,all sealed,brand new !.....
Dunno why,i haven`t seen it as a "Double kit" elsewhere,but i`ve checked all the contents,and YES..... it`s all there:thumb2:.... win,win!!

Evening Pete,

AFV Club/Model Fan in Taiwan no longer produce the kit (for quite some time) and are of no help, but I am going to call the German distributor, MBK, in the morn to see if they can hook me up with something. Thanks for the push my friend.......

Prost

My last purchase for this year was delivered.

A rather large box, 24"X16" and full of beautiful plastic and metal, the metal parts being adonised forks, springs and a lot of screws and a few nuts. I know it is quite expensive but if I am out on my motorbike 5 days a week I will have spent about £50 on fuel and coffee and perhaps the odd bacon roll, but as the bike has not moved in a month the model is paid for with the money saved. :smiling5:
I also bought the workable chain which has many small parts to fiddle with.

Andy.

Thats because you're mixing all these float thingy colors with it 'Admiral'......................

Anyway, I haven't been a good boy either and evilbay has struck twice again. First,

I bought this kit cheap because I can't find the AFV kit of their roadwheels/track set AF35043 and I needed the 2 A sprues,

[ATTACH=CONFIG]n1186924[/ATTACH]
These went into my AFV 251/21 'Drilling' kit which was missing them. If one day I do find the set AF35043, they'll go into this kit. The next one is interesting as it's sold as a bulge pack and comes without destructions and the regular carton,

[ATTACH=CONFIG]n1186925[/ATTACH]
It's a re-make of the 2005 ICM kit by Revell. Revell re-made this in 2013, and again in 2021 (with paints & glue). The decals are dated 2021 and I have already gotten the destructions downloaded. Best thing was the price.......€16 delivered...An offer I couldn't refuse!!!...

Hi Allen, have you thoght of making your own ( resin casting ?

[Jim R]

Not very exciting but I'm pleased.
My Optivisor is getting on for 10 years old and the padded leather comfort band had gone all sort of perished and manky. Ten years of sweaty forehead :rolling:
Found a seller of replacements.


Fits perfectly.
