Got the last package today. Houston, We have a problem.
Ordered the 23 from a site in Italy, so no complaint about the delivery time. Five days, including a weekend!
The problem is what was in the box...

Spot the mistake.. LOL this is the one I got from Germany last week. I have asked for a return post label.

[Allen Dewire]

Got home from the Euro Model Expo in Lingen yesterday. Two great days of fun and of course, a few purchases were the order of the day(s). I just needed paint, seatbelts for the WnW birds, a larger mat, some tools/hairy sticks and such. So,


The 3 resin figs are WWI ground crew from Copper State Models and were on sale to boot. Next,


My X-20A is over 20 years old, so time for a new one. From recommendations on here, I grabbed the Mr. Hobby stuff at good prices, along with the Xuron cutters. Could have gotten the Dspaie set but saw them after I bought the Xuron set. Some drill bits and flat brushes. I wasn't going to buy any kits as I have enough, but found this at a price I couldn't refuse,


And these are for a "wild hair up my butt" idea, down the road,


Lastly, I got a deal that, like I posted in the Hinkley Show thread earlier, was a "Crime of the Century" and If I had not bought them, I would have never spoken to myself again. Even my friend Thorsten said, for that price for both kits, don't hesitate for 1 second!!! This,


and this, with the crumpled box top (kit 100% ok) and I don't care about the box,


Ok, you can take a guess at how much they were together, but you would always be wrong! I stole both kits, for a lowly €150.00!!!!!!!!! My wallet may hate me, but I am one happy (retired) camper.......

I also have loads of pics to post, so please be patient as it will take time when I do and there's about 400 of 'em!!!...

Excellent purchases all round,but THAT one takes the biscuit... do you get the aircrew in the kit?!

No Andy, none of their kits come with figs, but...I have aircrew sets, I got earlier from Copper State Models for it though...

Yes Neil, in a way, but this deal was the Crime of the Century.......And the last WnW kitset........Until (maybe) the next crime calls???...

Oh Allen - a good bargain always gives a warm, snuggly feeling :smiling: :thumb2:

Very true Jim and I would have hated myself if I had passed this up. I'm warm and snuggly as a bug in a rug!!!...

The 251/17 will be a treat as the loader & gunner seats are very German.

Have already received a reply with a returns label and pick up from my address. The correct model is on the way. That is service!

Slightly smaller than my 1/5th busts I am working on is this 1/72 vignette ‘come out’ by white stork miniatures
And a couple of brass plinths for the busts, just two to start with as wanted to make sure they didn’t disappear inside the hollow castings

Glad to know they are respecting their very high service standards. I usually shop from them and I never had to complain, receiving their reactions within few hours and my order delivered not later than 48 hrs.

I've got my BenchVent A300S-D set up. Fitted lighting inside the hood. Just a cheap LED strip from eBay.

[Allen Dewire]

Looks great Jim! Now you can gas the neighbors when spraying enamel paints in it...Have fun!

Very nice indeed Jim....
... Seems a shame to grubby it up with paint!!

[Jack L]

Something a bit different for me. Want to practice my painting and inspired by Tim Marlow. Not entirely sure why, as I'm not getting much bench time lately, but bought these 'not' Lord of the Rings characters off Etsy. Unbelievable that they are 3D printed. The only place you can see any layers is on the bloke's flag/banner.
