Latest acquisitions

Some things that arrived yesterday





The MiniArt figures were £11, the pair, I really wanted the frozen Wehrmacht troops, the British engineers were a nice bonus

I thought I would try some new paint sets, the reviews are quite good



Each one of the 6 pots has an agitator to assist mixing

Nice and thin paint too, so should fly out of the air brush, I will add a drop of flow enhancer, as its my paranoia!

I have both a DAK project and a Maultier 4500 late war project planned for later this year

Its good to share

Steve,
I've used a few Hataka paint sets, and had very good results from them - Russian WWII Aircraft, and British WWII Armour particularly. You have to make sure you get the right ones - Red sets are for airbrush, Blue sets are for brush, and Orange sets are lacquer ( I assume this means enamel? )

Thanks Dave
Didn't realise they had none air brush paint, all the ones I was looking at were Red, thankfully!
Good to have more positive feedback too.

Good morning at the boot sale got an unboxed airfix d\day set for a £10 that's less than a pound a kit plus a bonus golden hind thrown in as well[ATTACH]302269[/ATTACH]

Quite a bargain!

There was a variety store here back in the 1970s that had all those Airfix kits, so many it was very hard to choose.
I had quite a collection of jets at one point.
They had in stock helos, ships, and planes by the dozen, and all quite cheap.
Unfortunately I was pretty young and had very little money.

I've decided to add a bit of colour to my shelves, so I'm going to build a few training aircraft. Most are readily available, but I've been watching these on eBay, slowly increasing in price. So, time to buy. Was it a bargain, no. But I knew I would regret not getting one while I could.

A 1976 Matchbox Provost. Complete with 'yellowing' instructions and dissolving decals.

Funny thing is, the overall colour is Speed silver, so why not mould it in silver as was so often done in those days? Not to worry, but I think I'll be spraying the hi-glow bits.

Colin,
I think you would be better off using decals for the orange panels. Microscale do several orange trimfilm sheets, including DayGlo. If you're going to do some more trainers, then they won't go to waste........
