Latest acquisitions

[yak face]

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.

No need to paint anything col its already pre coloured! Seriously I’m so glad you got one of these , its a cracking kit and i think youll be pleasantly surprised by the decals , matchbox decals were always very tough and these dont look to have yellowed at all, i dont think youll have any problems. If youre wanting to add a few more trainers to your collection check out the new tool KP ( kovozavody prostejov) range of zlin trainer aircraft , ive got a couple and they look like really nice little kits, i posted them on this very thread a while ago but god knows where they'll be , theres 300 odd pages ! Best bet is to use the search bar and type ‘zlins’ and posted by member - yak face - thats me:rolling::rolling:

My modest haul from last weekends event: two kits to add to the pile for now, two books full of colour photo's of restored vehicles and the Panzerwrecks books have a great mix of Allied and German vehicles in them.:smiling:

no good being on the high shelf.............need to be on the bench!! :smiling6::smiling6:

both kits go together with no drama...probably the hardest thing is attaching the screen on the Kat, the Honda is a lovely kit, i want another but its recently been discontinued from the catalogue, but it will be back, its a Tamiya perennial

we shall have to see if we can rustle up enough interest for a bike GB sometime

[Tim Marlow]

Hi Paul
The high shelf just houses the stash...nothing else significant about it....
I got them both from the scale models shop that hosts this site. In stock and supplied quickly....so if you want (need) a CB 750 that’s the place to go....
I would be up for a bike GB but later in the year when I’ve cleared the decks a little....
Cheers
