To the best of my knowledge, stashitis is incurable, so I'm afraid mine's terminal now!

Very nice haul Dave

A present for my birthday. I haven't done aircraft for about 20 years or so. Excited to start this but the mottling scares me a little. [ATTACH]287060[/ATTACH]

Mottling in 1/72? That should be fun!

Yea. Not sure how to approach it.

Very carefully. You can buy masks for mottling in the larger scales, but I don't know about 1/72. Might be worth a look. They're only thin sheets (probably brass) with irregular holes - maybe you could make your own out of thin card or plastic?

Did you pay £18 for the Wespe? If so, sorry I told Martin it was too cheap to £16 and to add £2 lol, sorry

That's OK. I've not seen any cheaper on ebay (allowing for postage of course!).

Yeah nice haul there Dave. Sadly I wasn't able to make it today so you had a free reign on all those bargains. But I'll be at Telford for the two days with a nice budget so I'll see how much I can grab from under your nose. I especially like that fire jeep.

Thanks. Will have a look. If not I will try my hand at making my own.

If you do yourself a search on google using 1:72 mottle masks you will get a wealth of detail to help
