Have had to put my Gato on hold for the moment, so going to have a go at my first aircraft kit (except my R/C ones) in 40+yrs.
These came today, just don't know which to start first.

Now that's a father's day present. I'll bet that's a big model, is it a new tool? I'm offshore so no father's day for me


( don't tell the wife, I just won a halcyon aliens power loader and a drop ship ) oops.

I took myself into downtown Osaka today and visited a couple of model shops - M's Plus, Hobbyland and Joshin. The first two were "proper" privately owned model shops and the third was a chain shop but still an experience to behold. I bought the tools and Sea King kits in the first shop. I found a very nice fine tipped scriber and a another scriber but with a different tip.


I saw the 1/144 Sea King kits and had to buy them, they are a cheaper and easier solution to a 202 Sqn diorama I have had in mind for a long time - it means I can sell off the 1/48 Hasegawa version that will likely not get built. They were going for about £25 over here.


Hasegawa kits galore in all of the shops but in Joshin they have an entire floor dedicated to Tamiya models from all of their catalogue - and no, I didn't see their new Mosquito. Hobbyland had a glass cabinet with various models on display some of which I have added - the Caen diorama was very impressive.


I've heard that Tamiya's lemon scented glue is supposed to be highly regarded as an adhesive - is this true?

Now this is going to be interesting with all that rigging lol

[Guest]

Academy have or had a lot of the old Tamiya moulds Alan.


The Panther is a bit of a dog compared to modern kits, but it still looks the part & would be good for a summer/autumn setting in Russia or Italy.
