Latest Acquisitions (2023)

[JayCee]

I have been using Vallejo paints for a number of years now and have always been more than happy with them. Both Model Colour and Model Air. Having read good reports of the Metal Color range here on the forum I decided to get some for a future project. I hope they are worth it. As discussed on another thread on the site, the dreaded customs charges bit me. With that on top of the purchase price and postage they have cost me more than the kit they are intended for. :angry:

Cheers, folks.

Another test lol

Another book for my battleship collection. Goes with my book on the Cavour class which I enjoyed reading

Like Alfa's beautiful looking ships, once I have finished the British and German battlecruiser this is next. Have the 1/350 Roma to build.

Thanks to Andrew, working a treat!

Based on my very limited usage, I have only used it once, you will not be disappointed!

Shame about the tax though.

Had to buy this the other day (well ,didnt HAVE to, but you know how it is :tears-of-joy £7.49 inc postage - Yes!!! Like winning the meat raffle !
Its the Kovozavody prostejov ( kopro , KP ) reboxing of the Valom tooling . Very nice and with 3 good decal options. Its a fascinating aircraft and very cool looking , this will go with the Misterkit one I bought from the Cosford air show and the Airfix one I did years ago .

[adt70hk]

Yes , easily as good as the exalted Tamiya , but with more build options and the decals wont be too thick either :smiling5:

Good point on the decals!! Almost an excuse to get more kits! :smiling5:

Easy Andrew, you're supposed to be going to school and studying, not buying more kits!!!

Postie dropped this off earlier...Really didn't need the cups, but you know about the thing with postage,


I got these from an online shop here that only deals in floaty stuff!!!...I have a bad feeling I'm going to go blind and batty when it's time to do the rigging on the Halberstadt...

Prost

Paid regular price, but Z-444s are getting scarce.
Great 1/87 grab bag find on ebey. Lots of detail sprues from Hummer models giving me M2s, grenade launchers, & hand weapons along w/pioneer tool racks & close mount side view mirrors.

Look what The Smythe Meister made me buy......

[The Smythe Meister]

Well,this REALLY IS my last purchase for quite a while, (well, until a certain Japanese heavy fighter turns up in a couple weeks),the Wingy stash is looking a bit silly now, considering I predominantly build AFVs!...
BUT,in my defence, I've loved the look of these since doing a 1/72 one,way back as a young lad :smiling3: ...
... Lost out on a few 1/48 ones in the last 12 months or so,(just too pricey for my liking:sad: ),HOWEVER ,bid on this a little while ago and won it for rather a good price, and it arrived today :smiling3:

[Mark1]

So ive been on a mission to get my spare room sorted out and turn it into my modelling room,some shelving was needed and had these delivered on sunday about 4 hrs after i ordered them :smiling: another of the short ones still to build. The stash will be moved to the built in wardrobe when i get that cleared out.
And this has arrived about 10 minutes ago,much needed larger spraybooth,hopefully i will be in the new room by the weekend

Can’t beat your own space Mark :thumb2:

[papa 695]

A quick delivery from John in the shop of some paints, I can now finish the Salamander.

[Mark1]

A king size cutting mat for the new bench and something to hang on the wall

[Allen Dewire]

Nice goodies Mark!!! Cool pic and I guess the speed bump in the mat is to help you fold curved etch, eh!!!...
