Latest acquisitions

[papa 695]

I found these useful looking sanding sticks and pre-formed grab irons in a Canadian model shop last week. As well as handles for armour and trains I got them with the idea in mind to use them as door mirror mounts for soft skinned vehicles.

Great idea with the grabirons Rick, they should also come in handy for armour handles as well.

so i went to the Northern Model Show today

in the last 9 months ive bought the grand total of one kit (due to moving house etc) so ive had a bit of a splurge......bought 11 kits and some bits n bobs!





Braille scale bundle, cost a Pavarotti......the humvee kit is a bonus, i thought it was build it as either the TOW carrier or the ambulance....turns out to be one of each in the box!









and some sundries......

Wish I'd known you were going paul.
Me and a mate were supposed to go but they changed their minds and I didnt fancy spending the day on my own .

Latest arrivals to the stash pile and a quick fumble of all the contents. As expected from Tamiya a great kit and I smelt all that rubber before I opened the box. Great looking kit and well worth the money spent imho. The dragon kpfw comes with interior and lots of other well detailed bits n bobs but strangely the call out for parts renders many unused. Nice kit all the same.D day jeep from italeri left unopened as it is what it is.Revell Memphis Belle although big in scale 500x650 it's very lacking in parts and detail which leaves me slightly disappointed but I acquired it cheaply so I'll take it on the chin. On that basis I'd highly recommend the Dragon and Tamiya kits. Happy shopping.

Cheers John
