Felt the urge to add to the stash a bit recently... In fairness, some were trades for older kits, and a couple were gifts.

Not for a while. I am currently saving up to get ALL the Brassin AM for this kit, as I really want to super detail it. I might do Gerhard Barkhorn's scheme or Erich Hartmann's (with AM decals)

Very nice haul ........... I particularly like the "Chinaman".

[takeslousyphotos]

I just bought me one of these .......... I don't normally go much on aircraft but, I saw this and thought I'd give it a go. There is some PE in it (which I hate) but it doesn't look too complex so I'll probably manage.

I think maybe I need to invest in a proper bending tool ....... John has one in the shop.

I have something similar Peter and it's invaluable when a long, straight fold is needed. However a pair of Tamiya Bending Pliers is also a fantastic tool to have. I'd say I use it for about 90% of the time when using PE since most parts are fairly small, and the pliers are quicker/easier to use than the bigger folding tool. They're also available in John's shop:-
