Latest Acquisitions (2022)

Just took mine off. It leaks like a sieve at the quick release bit.

Had thought about that.... Will be keeping an eye on that.

..... So.... Just a Jaguar to get for the stash and we`re complete!!:nerd::tears-of-joy:

Do yourself a favour buy the airfix one. Builds into a nice jag, and is easier than that kitty hawk thing.

Check the internal O ring Ian. QR fittings are notorious for catching and taking a bite out of them when they are used.

What O ring lol...
That might explain a lot!

Evening Mr. Smiff,
Very nice purchases Andy, but I'm so sorry to hear that you haven't come out of puberty yet......I was hoping to see a Panther or the like......Definitely a very sad day down deep in Devon.....

Prost
Allen

Ha! .... Yeah, sorry about that Allen!
That's the problem really,I already have enough of the "Old favourites" bulking up the stash as it is .... There's only so many Panthers,Tigers,Sdkf 7s Churchills, figures, artillery pieces,etc,etc that you need sitting there awaiting their turn,(in many cases for YEARS )mate.
So this Wingy thing slant of things has been a bit of fresh air,(see what I did there?!! ),TBH.
I still love my armour,but I felt I was getting a bit stale,so the occasional flyin fing build spices it up a little
So not so much a "sad day in Devon" buddy.....just an alternative one ....
... even Cohan agrees!!

Cheers Chris,
Seems like that K/H one is a bit of a pita then?!....

You're not TOTALLY safe Bob.....
.... he's just casting his net wider that's all !!

My Black Friday box has just arrived

I was looking for the paints and the drill set, then I saw the pliers (-10%) and the 1:48 Hobby 2000 Hurricane (kit by Hasegawa, Cartograf decals + masks and 20% rebate) and the mouse clicked almost by itself... :rolling:
After COVID years my will is more and more faltering... ...but there's a logic behind that click of the mouse: my AK Real colour set for early RAF schemes is exceeding the needs for the Spit I already have in my stash and lacquers are not wine: they don't get better with age.:rolling:

Andrea

P.S.: don't test the wine story with SWMBO...:smiling4:

Evri just delivered this

The last one I had was an aerosol - I reckon I wasted 90% of the spray, every time I used it!

Just take the sprayer off and put the lid back on after using it, the previous one of those I had just evaporated away in a few days.

Brushes are always useful, but what do you do with the paints? Dave

To anyone who has these so called 'Awful' diddy Airfix pot paints, I'll take them. Because I brush paint, I'm more than happy with the results obtained.

Likewise, the little tubes of polystyrene glue.

Thanks.
Ron

My Black Friday grabs showed up today. 39% cheaper than normal too!!! Now before we get out of hand here, I did sell 5 kits in evilbay last week and only bought 2 new ones. I call that stash reduction and in 25 years, my stash will be at zero.......


And I added this one for free postage. It can be built in 3 different ways. Stripped down, summer, or winter...


The only downside is that both kits have those funky rubber tires that I hate...........Resin replacements are on the horizon...............

Prost and Happy Thanksgiving to all across the pond
Allen
