discussion Latest acquisitions

[Guest]

Yes Tony I love a good rummage and a fondle of the boxes. Chatting with the proprietor and abit of bartering of course. Was running an errand for someone today and I just couldn't drive past one of the LMS. I've no will power you see and couldn't leave with nothing under my arm.Not a massive saving but £2 cheaper than his nearest main rival.

Any saving is better than no saving. And if i had been in that shop i would have been more than tempted by your latest purchase - that looks a really good one.

Got these through the post the other day . Ive been eyeing them up for a while and was looking out for them at Newark but didnt see any so ordered them online. The Zlins are KP new tools and look great (although they have a design fault in that one of the oleo legs is 1mm longer than the other ,but to be fair it does tell you to correct this in the instructions ,ive got the Pavla resin correction set for the 2 seat version and I can alter the single seat with whats spare from this) The LET Morava is a rebox of an AZ kit I think and looks great too , its a bit limited run but nothing any competent modeller cant handle.View attachment 289819 View attachment 289820 View attachment 289821 View attachment 289822 View attachment 289825

Kits i have not seen before so will be interested to see how you get on with these.

Looks like the have some nice bright colour options though so should make up into some real stand out aircraft.

The bugatti looks interesting. What sort of parts breakdown do you get in the box?

there is not a huge amount of parts. No engine detail. The body work has a good amount of detail to it.

Its a lovely looking car and will look really good under a nice shiny paint layer.

Look forward to seeing how you get on with it.

Couple of additions to the stash. Been on the lookout for these two for a while at the right price. Ade Close Enough (thanks) managed to get these two for me off his fellow club members which I collected this morning. As a bonus the 33 came with addition Eduard PE cockpit detail parts. Just waiting on the hobbyboss M1070 transporter truck now. Keeping em peeled View attachment 289953

Few additions to the stash, 3 that I've wanted to get my hands on for a while and a bonus mustang, couldn't resist the corsair with moto-tug the guy had 3 corsairs from TamiyaView attachment 289987 . If anyone has any experience on these and what's a nice build please do let me know.

Just got this bad boy!

View attachment 290202

I've just got the 35A015 E-100 on the bench ready for paint and the 35A016 E-100 Flakzwilling to be built for the 2018 AA gun GB, and by adding this 35A017 E-100 Jagdpanzer I've got a cool E-100 Triplets build
(and yesterday I remembered that I've also got the Trumpeter 00384 E-100 so in fact I can build a quadruple E-100 lineup...)

This is just one pawn in the bigger scheme and that is the Entwicklungsfahrzeug Sammlung I'm going to build - but it's going to take a year or two to "complete" because there's several models, and then variants on top of that - but a helluva project for sure!

The Entwicklungsfahrzeug Sammlung is my name for a lineup of E-5, E-10, E-25, E-50, E-75 and the E-100 with variants. I've found all but the E-5 but that could be scratch built when the day comes...

I like my tanks big, bold and often pure fictional

 

[Guest]

...and soon thereafter I added these to my planned Entwicklungsfahrzeug Sammlung project!
Now only the E-5 is missing and it does exist as 35B001 from Amusing Hobby but only as a "gift" in a bundle with some models...
Bummer that I didn't think of this earlier because it's not for sale separate.

This means that all but the E-5 are ticked off for my lineup as I've already got the E-25

A great big informative book that I've been after for ages, from a top quality girlfriend.

 

[Guest]

That looks a very nice book Phil.

That looks a very nice book Phil.

It's an incredible book, costly but worth every penny in my eyes

Like the look of your destroyer and even better with the additional detail parts you get in this version.

 

[col68]

Added these to the stash today

Opened the box and loads of brass, may have bitten of me than I can chew, but will make a nice change from just building tanks. Think I will still add the eduard rails as don' fancy stringing up all those stanchons 4
