Latest acquisitions

[PaulTRose]

what have i done???  O.o


was out shopping today and happened to be opposite HobbyCraft so popped in to get some Xacto blades..........and came out with this!!!





in my defence it was only 15 quid......half price!...looks like it was an end of line jobbie


ive done a bit of googling and it seems this company stopped making stuff like this a couple of years ago


it just looked interesting on the outside......the box was sealed so i had no idea what was inside......and at the price i thought it was worth a punt....should build up to be about 10 inch long


but what have i done???? lol


the box has in it woody bits, fabric, thread, theres not just photoetch but proper brass bits!.....the instruction book is 44 pages long!!!!!  eeeeek!!





half of my brain is so intrigued by it i want to clear the bench and crack on with it.......the other half is saying 'dont be silly......close the box and put it at the back of the stash.....forget about it'

This looks good Paul, I like to make models in wood it makes such a change from the plastic kits. Have a go at it.

Latest stuff from John.  Ordered yesterday afternoon, was in my hands by 9:15 this morning, superb as always John.





Truck modelling uses obscene amounts of gloss red, matt black, semi gloss black and gloss black.  Should be enough here to do another two trucks

Another Harder & Steenbeck airbrush Graham? I thought you weren't happy with your Ultra...

Hopefully you will get some pictures of the trucks up soon Graham

The Ultra was, and still is a right piece of cr@p but it could be a badly made piece or I could have damaged it.  However, I have always said that when I go a bit upmarket, it would be  a H&S.


Having had the chance to use it in anger today, it was a good choice. It is obviously better made than the Ultra. The travel of the air valve is longer giving far more control and right from the off I could do extremely fine lines.

I will Mark, still in a big learning curve lol


This is my current project in progress.

Got one at last!

Got one at last! 

Very nice I've got the good morning da nang version I want to start it but I've got so many unfinished kits I've got to do first

[Guest]

Got one at last! 

nice one, the engineering of this kit is pretty good, with the upper fuselage half (as you can see) being moulded in a single piece, which eliminates the sanding. However, the down side is the number of stencils , I know somebody who spent 3 days stencilling alone

I think the Academy kit on which it's based is pretty good already John & the added bits & pieces just make it amazing - not bad for under £35 inc postage


The amount of stencils on my Eduard Mig 21 kinda blew my mind, so this one will be even more so  O.o
