      Here is my latest purchase...

      [ATTACH]79930.IPB[/ATTACH]


      It is the spray booth reviewed by Phil Flory on this News show here:

      My main concern about getting one of these is whether it would be big enough for my 1:32 scale aircraft. Having seen it I am satisfied that it will be OK for most but the real test will be my next build the 1:32 Trumpeter Avenger.

      The real beauty of this set up is that if it is not big enough I can buy an extension to increase the size. It also is very flexible as it does not require an extractor outlet so it can sit anywhere. Flory's demonstration with this 38watt version shows that it has quite a lot of extraction power too.....

      The Fiat 50bis is nearly finished (I will post pics in a day or two)

        For information the review is about 47 minutes into the news show to help you click quickly to it.

          Tamiya 1/350 King George V

          My next project, which will be two firsts.

          - First Plastic Ship

          - First Seascape, going to try to show it in the North Atlantic sea.

          Having seen the models in the Forum made me want to try my hand at one. The PE is from Gold Medal Models.

          I thought 1/72 Aircraft was small until I opened the box of this 1/350.

          Cheers Derek

              The Panther F isnt the best example out there, being somewhat inaccurate in dimensions, but I plan to change it into a '46 'what-if' nacht jäger.

              Cheers

                  Hi John

                  I got it here:

                  http://www.everythingairbrush.com/

                  I don't find it particularly noisy. So far though I have only done a spot of testing with it. If you look at the Flory review it gives an idea of the sound it makes. I have to say though I think it is a little less noisy that what I thought it would be.

                          picked these up today thanks to evilbay

                          went to pick them up and he asked if i was interested in some other kits he had (silly question)

                          turns out he is a skip driver for a recycling company...........he had returned to the centre and was dunping a load.....there was @150 kits!! so him and two other guys shared them and hes selling his on ebay

                          my guess is a modeller died and his widow has just binned his stash!

                          he had a bin bag that he hadnt even looked in!..........3x Airfix 1/48 Spitfires, 4x P38 Lightnings in 1/48 by various manufacturers!

                          i am interested in a few more cars and one of the P38's......might make him an offer if i can afford to spend more this month......supposed to not be buying kits this year

                            My Dad worked on the local council recycling site when I was younger, the stuff he used to bring home was incredible. On one shift he picked up a Tamiya USS Enterprise, King George and Yamato! No idea what happened to the kits I expect they ended up fighting battles in the bath

                                Right so I was at Cosford today and doing well retaining my money, when all of a sudden I was mugged by a whole lot of models, they came outta no where!!!!

                                They forced me to take them home and so I now have several other models in my collection now.
