The M1 is a bit bland but, if you want to tart it up there is a upgrade kit for it that covers it in reactive armour, slabs and slabs of it. Cannot remember where I saw the picture of one built but it sure looked impressive.

LOL went to the model shop today (big surprise) to buy a bottle of liquid poly. (are you aware of how much there is in a bottle of that stuff when you knock it over and its spread out over the work board!!!!!)
Any way ane bottle of Liiquid poly, twelve bottles of Alclad II, three tins of primer base coat and cleaner, a bottle of clear cote, ans a 1/48 scale Bucc; yes I brought another one. I thought it was time to leave while the going was good!
I did forget to buy the extra dark sea grey though! Duh!Comment

Not so much a latest aquisitions list but a stock check of the kits I have in stock ready to be {Destroyed?} built.
US Naval Aircraft
None - E-2C, F-14 and F/A-18 added to top priority list
Others
Testing/Experimental (Thats testing or experimental for me, so no X class aircraft
Also an Aurora 1/48 Tiger Moth (No pic available)
The typhoon and F-14 are one of those stupid overpriced kits that you get with 4 stupid post of paint (You get the wrong colours and the instructions demand 15 of them!!!) and a useless double ended brush for £7.50, and I could have bought the basic kit without paint and brush for £4.99.
As you can see I need to purchase 1 or 2 US Naval aircraft before I finish my Seasprite.
I have two planned project for the Others list, an F-111 based at Lakenheath and Diorama of 2 Red Arrows (Inspired by a post on this forum)
For the Testing/Exp aircraft I plan an F-111 in US Navy colours (What if the F-14 wasnt up to scratch and the F-111 wont the Naval contract?)
O, all pictures blatantly stolen from the net :hihi:Comment

As usual with money very tight just got these bits from ebay , the verlinden 1/35 vietnam/middle east house will work nicely with a Iraqi dio I`m planning and a bargin at £6.50 , the books are the 1st I`ve ever bought for modelling and tbh there is not a lot in them that I did not already know , although I got them cheap next time I will do a little research on books these are aimed at a novice imho
You win some you lose some , saying that not 15 minutes ago I won the Tamiya 1/350 Bismark for £26 , fancied this one for a long time , but with money tight it will be a present from the wife at Xmas ( maybe a unmade 2nd hand kit but its beats socks and pants for christmas )

I have a few of those Osprey books Richy. Spend a bit of time with them, they have hidden depths, you may find something that inspires you to try something a different way. The Bismark will be a superb Xmas pressie.Comment

Wow! an original Inpact kit. That has to be mid sixties vintage. I don't think I've ever owned one though they were re-released by Lifelike, Pyro and maybe others. At the time they were considered exceptional kits so please let us know how you get on with that one.
Edit:
Here's a link to a build of the same kit (marketed by Lindberg,I knew there were others lol) which you might find interesting.
Cheers

Well having spent a lot of money on kit at Telford Sunday, i decided to get me a workstation store to keep it all in where it can be kept clean and dust free, everything inside it will relate to the smaller scale build. A nice investment i think, will look even better when i get some kit inside it.

And now i have to adimit it, You guys have worked a number on me and converted me virtualy overnight into a Tank fanatic
Look what else i walked out with. If i can make a real good job of adding a cood paint job to these like you guys do i think i will go up another scale to.
