And a Loading crane might look good...Hmm
So I think I have every thing I need.

Just braved the elements and nipped to Lidl before the thunder and lightning returns, still biblical rain mind!!
Whilst there,I couldn't resist this,to replace my old soft plastic organiser,which I keep my decals,etch,masks,and,Dio maps/flags type stuff in ....
Much bigger,and made of good solid plastic,so the drawers open effortlessly,and,at £14:99,a real bargain in my mind :thumb2:.Comment

I don't usually post in this thread, but this may amuse you....
Wife went out for lunch with a couple of her older siblings and one gave her this, which he had picked up at a boot sale as "I know Nick does models".
"He put it in the boot of my car for me and my hands were black by the time I got it indoors" she said when I got home from work.....
Looks like it's all there although the 'modelling' already carried out will need to be undone and restarted.
I dare say our serial Titanic builder peterairfix will have seen this one before so I may be looking for some assistance if it ever sees the light of day again. In the meantime I have hoovered out all the dust and wrapped the box in cling film before hiding it in a dark corner....

OK chaps.....I know I said I would buy no more kits......well I haven't BOUGHT any more kits....honest!!!
Today I went to a Fenland and Spalding Model Show, hosted by Scotties club. It's a bit further than I normally travel for shows but as a number reprobate members from on here made the effort, I thought it would be great to meet.
As part of a show they had a lucky dip to try to win a few items that had been donated in support of a local charity (air ambulance?). I had resisted several tempting kits on various stands....but towards the end of the afternoon there were still some items outstanding in the lucky dip and so I paid my £1 and got the opportunity to have four attempts at winning something.....of course with the intent of making sure the charity got some cash.
As you can see I was very lucky!!
I see from the initial reviews that Academy Spitfire is a reboxing of a 25+ year old kit and has some issues dimensions wise but it cost me the grand sum of 50p, so I can live with that!

Latest addition to the stash.
I’ve not built an Eduard kit before so I’m looking forward to getting started on this one.

I think something struck me a heavy blow on the head yesterday, causing me to lose my senses:
[ATTACH]491105[/ATTACH]
Some of the civilians and some of the heads are for the LCA. The Takom M29 Weasel kit is because of a discussion about a review of this kit over on Missing-Lynx, leading me to want to see for myself if that review is indeed a case of the problem lying with the modeller rather than the kit (as I suspect it does). It’s times two because I still want to build an M29C (the version with floats) but don’t want to finish the one I started two years ago, and though I do expect Takom to eventually bring out that version, I don’t expect it anytime soon. However, the place where I ordered all of this also had an LZ Models M29C, for only €2 more than the Takom plastic one — so, a brilliant plan hatched: steal the “C” parts from the LZ kit and stick them to a second plastic Takom kit, thereby avoiding the majority of the LZ kit’s problems.
… except the shop then sent me LZ’s normal M29 kit, rather than the M29C, by mistake … They had one of each, and when I contacted them about it, immediately replied they would send me the C kit right away — and said I can keep the M29 kit as well. Even after I offered to return it, I was told that’s not necessary (probably partly because they know too that nobody will want it, I suspect, but still). Not sure what to do with it, though

And now I’ve received the correct M29C as well:

A few years ago on the old MMod forum a guy built that Weasel. Very fiddly but a superb model.Comment
