[Tim Marlow]

Two for the upcoming D Day GB.


Full interiors on both of these….bet I don’t use it all.

Would you like it if I said the SOD (Sawn-Off Daimler) is not a D-Day-appropriate vehicle? Only a very small number (I want to say three, but maybe even only one?) were converted, and AFAIK, only some months after D-Day.

Hard luck Tim.
Just one left then......:rolling:

I went to IPMS Lancashires annual swapmeet today and came away with this. Part financed with a sale but still £10 down.

[JayCee]

On my recent visit to the UK I decided to make some use of it and purchase a few items I needed.

Whilst I have always loved living here in Cyprus I am the first to admit that for purchasing modelling supplies it is a complete desert. This actually surprises me as there is an IPMS branch here that seems thriving. They actually had their latest show/competition at the end of April. I unfortunately missed it with being in the UK.
The nuts and bolts are to help me with the Manx build that I should now be able to restart.

[Tim Marlow]

Couple of books as background to the upcoming group build. Recommended by Arnie I believe, but sorry if I’m wrong. Can’t find the post now…..

The wife has been shopping on Amazon for me lately. Postman drop these off the other day. I don’t know if I like Amazon or not every model shows up in a mailer with the box crushed. Kinda like to keep the Boxes in mint condition.

While the 'raspberry ripple' Lightning T5 is stalled due to a missing part, a trip to the LMS was in order and I came home with this. . .



Not a manufacturer I'm familiar with, reminds me a little of HobbyBoss

Miko (I have three 'what if' ideas for this one???)

[Miko]

Now I have quite a few short run kits from eastern Europe where there isn't always locating pins or tab and slot attachments, drilling and brass rod fitting is needed to add strength the joint, I thought I'd treat myself to a new set of minidrills, my other set is over twenty years old.

Here at the Towers the postman has arrived and left these.


A replacement set of paints, first one was a modern camo , so returned.

Some Butane gas for my purchase yet to be delivered today :nerd::surprised: .

[vizenz]

I just had to get this set off eBay. It was a bargain. After I bought the set, the seller wrote to me and offered me a few more things - also at a bargain price... A vicious circle! :smiling5:

[Guest]

Yes the front part of the Butane gas canister has arrived.
Deep Joy as you can well imagine .

Oh such fun, will there be anything safe ? :upside: :upside: :upside: :tongue-out: :nerd:

[OldWalrus]

Rumour said that the local toy shop had some models....from a very limited selection this looked the most interesting.

[The Smythe Meister]

Not really into Jets,but this is one of my favourite aircraft EVER,kits of 'em are quite hard to come by in 1/48,so after seeing this in an email from Jadlam,I snapped it up.Apparently, it's not the greatest kit ever,but eminently doable....and better than the Kitty one :thumb2:.
