Is it airbrush cleaner or is it a giant bottle of extra thin? From what I've read, it's both! And around half the price of TET

Indeed..... Jakko pointed out the same a while ago.... And even did DIY TET.... The difference is only 1-2%.....see here:

1/87 Kniga Autocar U-8144 5-6 ton tractor soft top in resin. Just finished clean-up & started cab construction (seats/floor/floor base to cab shell). NO resin blocks, just very thin flash. Good, but not great, instructions due to Kniga std. photos.

A pretty boring acquisition, but I couldn't resist at 50% off the marked price....

First you don’t go to model shows for three years, then you do two in two days … I had gone to one fairly close to home yesterday, and when I came home, found an e-mail from an acquaintance asking if I wanted to come to MKB Happening in Bornem, Belgium, that was held today. Never been there, so sure, why not I came away with this:

Oddly for me, I bought a Formula 1 car. I have for years been thinking of getting a Tyrrell P34, simply because I’ve always thought it’s the coolest-looking one ever, and when I saw this one today I decided to go for it Also some diorama things to use as photo backdrops, not for building an actual diorama, a set of British tank crew and one of petrol cans (reduced price because they forgot to put the etched handles into the bag, said Graham from Resicast ) and some paint and a drybrush brush — might as well give both of those a try, I figure.

Nice haul Jakko

I've had some acquisitions over the past couple weeks. last weekend a friend and I went to a very well stocked hobby shop almost two hours away, hence we only go once a year. They were having a 25% off sale, so I made a decision to forgo getting some smaller kits and get two larger ones that I had seen on last years visit.



Really like the subject, and it is very well molded, but lacks any interior detail in the gun positions and wheelhouse. Not all the portholes are molded in clear either, so will take a bit of work to bring those areas up to the standard of the rest of the kit. Rather disappointing considering the price of the kit.



Another kit I have wanted to build, it is huge, but really a quite simple looking kit, enhancing the exterior details and paint job will hopefully really bring it to life. Even though the instructions only show an overall green paint scheme, photographic evidence shows this unit was at one time painted in the unique Soviet railroad track camo scheme Will certainly have to consider that option when the time comes.



Miscellaneous supplies



And, lastly from Hannants IBG's early Pz. II. I like the early Panzers so put this on preorder!
These should keep me busy for the rest of the year! :smiling::smiling:

Bought some 'flat' things in the Tank Museum Shop, as we didn't had enough space in our bags for more :smiling6:

:tongue-out3:Ernie, were those T-boats produced by the renowned ACME Corp., the Wile E. Coyote favourite mail shop? The question comes from the peculiar torpedo releasing system, which seems designed to have the torpedo to follow the T-boat wake... :nerd:

Getting my coat...:smiling4: Leaving business card...:upside:

[rtfoe]

I don't buy much but if I do it's a necessity like these two bottles of sponge loose foam that I intend for moss or tree flower buds. The white ine looks good to sprinkle as rough snow or grass flowers.

Yes, I believe they were! :smiling3: A gas powered ram expelled the torpedoes, and the boat then had to quickly turn out of their path. Unsurprisingly, many of these boats were used for laying mines and carrying commandos in the torpedo well and dropping them off shore of areas where they were going to operate.

So this is the last money im spending on the modelling room! Well,there is one more thing in the post :smiling:

[Mark1]

This is the last thing for the model room,spent a small fortune getting it sorted but i haven't spent much on kits lately! It was about time i replaced that little brown box although it has served me well.
