Spots on the Internet (2023)

I have, but it’s stalled because it’s so hard to build that I got tired of it. It went back into its box with the intent to continue later, but now Takom has released this I doubt it will ever be completed. The idea to put its floats etc. onto the Takom model crossed my mind, but I can’t because they’re already glued to the resin hull:

I have enough other kits to build that I’m not rushing out to buy the M29 to convert it, but I am holding out hope that Takom will release the C as well, or at least that someone will do a conversion set soon :smiling3:

I've used superglue debonder on a lot of resin and metal parts that I'd messed up.It does work.Loads of clean up but no major damage.

I’m not sure anymore, but I think I may have used two-part epoxy for it …

That Akagi dio looks expensive…….interesting though.

Wrong Erebus for my interests, unfortunately, which IIRC is the one that did this to the local church. Also an odd scale, but maybe modellers of these kinds of ships don’t think so? Or maybe don’t care too much?

Another odd scale, but I think I said that before. 1:32 would make much more sense, people would buy it to display all kinds of aircraft models on.

Wow!! What a fascinating 15 minute read that was,thanks for posting that up Jakko!
Just shows what saturation lengths the Germans went to in their building of defensive positions,and the turmoil/upheaval that their presence had on innocent,"everyday" folk.
R.I.P. Also, for the fallen 100 Royal Marine Commandos.

Just a non-modelling note (aka food for thought) : HMS Erebus brought back to my memory a very amusing book "Solomon Gursky was here" by M. Richler.

You’re welcome Didn’t know you could read Dutch, though …

That’s in the campaign for Walcheren as a whole, though, or perhaps only this side of the island, but not here in the village, as that was liberated with no actual fighting.

... I can't!! .. but when I clicked on it I was presented with the "Translation to English" option!!

[Guest]

Ah, yes, that must have helped

The addition of a blonde, blue-eyed girl caters to the Japanese taste!

Its pink hair and her eyes are brown.... LOL
Also says "Figure not included" so thats a no from me as well.

On the KP/AZ Models website - announced at a Zagreb Model Show - 3 new releases

New Tooling..............
The Fi-167 was designed for the Graf Zeppelin aircraft carrier - when that was cancelled, the completed planes were put to other uses. No idea if there is any differences, other than decals. The German version could carry a torpedo. " Are comming"? translation error?
