Latest purchases.

Some of the drill bits are ridiculously small but may be useful in the future.
The paints are for my Wessex build :smiling4:

Adams Armour 2 and some red brown primer. I have several German AFVs to build! (Best get on and finish the Focke!)

[The Smythe Meister]

A double first for me here, first "Roden" kit,and first biplane
Been thinking of doing something WW1 Wingy for a while,and Scottie's current "Spalbatros" build tipped me over the edge!
Don't know a lot about these type of things,BUT ,one thing I DO know,is that these S.E.5's were rather good back then
As for the kit itself,not a ton of parts,and some flash to sort,but nothing that would put you off.Detail looks ok at a first glance,should be an interesting,fun build. but not until I've finished the Blenheim ....

Cheers for now,
Andy

£19 off eBay and it's brand spanking new......


Then a not so reserved trip to another model shop on my way home, I have never seen so many ranges of paint and finishing products in one place, not even with online shops.

Good stuff Karl, especially the Mossie at that price
Have you used that liquid mask before?
Been considering trying that kind of thing for a while instead of buying the Vinyl sets each time.... be interested to hear what you think of it?

T'was a private sale he was put off by the size of it. Got it for £100 under shop price. My good lady said go for it. Who am I to argue.
This turned up yesterday:

[The Smythe Meister]

Been after something along the lines of a Boston, Mitchell or Marauder for a while,but the ones I'd seen were a bit pricey for me ....
.... Then I saw this,offered the minimum bid,and.... won it!!
Not quite as good as the ones I mentioned,but pleased to have won it nonetheless....

... Looks quite nice,AND ... it's a LOT bigger than I expected!!

I built one of those a while back Andy. It’s a nice kit, one of Revell’s better efforts :thumb2:

Morning all

So two real departures for me....almost certainly my first US wingy things....certainly since coming back to the hobby and I don't recall doing any in my youf.

I've been thinking of getting a Mustang for a while - it is one of those iconic wartime aircraft after all- and whilst this wasn't super cheap as brand new, it was a couple of quid cheaper than most other new ones of the same kit.

As for the Hellcat, was not looking for one but I saw it pop up on Fleabay at only £7.00 and not move for days......and so kept any eye on it and went for a last second bid. Snapped it up for £12+very cheap P&P. I've also managed to source masks and etch at such low prices that I'm able to bring it up to ProfiPack standards for less than current ProfiPack listings.
