Thanks Gary!

Postie dropped this off today, my second model. Hopefully it goes as smoothly as the first!

According to the blurb on the back of the box it's a replica of the version my brother used to work out of until a few years ago. Not many people get to say they were chauffeured around at work by Royalty :smiling2:

One piece had fallen off the sprue in the box but everything else looks intact.

Two pots of yellow? You’d better hope that’ll be enough given the number of coats you’d have to put on with a brush to get it to look anything like decent

Ha ha, I've seen the trouble Dave had in the group build so no way I'm using the supplied paint!

Got this on Friday and it was another evilbay steal at €19,09 delivered to the door!!!!!!

Very well cast and only 2 barrels are a bit warped. Easy to fix or replace with tubing or sprue…….

I also won another bargain, but got sent the wrong kit from the seller. The prob should be fixed this week...……….

Hi Allen
That is a real bargain. Any plans for it?

Hi Jim,

Yes Sir, I always have a plan for what I buy, but time is never on my side...……...I would like to mount this on a vehicle like an SWs. More of a paper panzer plan as this piece was developed late in the war and not mass produced. I couldn't believe the price I got it for. The seller had 2 of them listed an hour apart. I should have snagged the other one too as it went for under €20 to the door also...…………………………….

A last second EBay snipe.....£22 and plenty of detail by the look of it :smiling4:

Earned some extra cash of late and went to the not so local hobby shop (near Schiphol) for a little shopping trip:


Was on the lookout for the books, the decals, the Bigsin set and the Eggplane, the rest were extra’s…:nerd:

Woohoo! I’ve managed to find thin spring steel wire for antennas etc.

I bought ten metres of it right away, to make sure I’ll have enough for the foreseeable future also some brass rod in two thicknesses, just in case.

Also a Spad XIII for the beginner’s set group build:

Yep, and also great that Hasegawa has two heads in the box as I need one more for a dio I've planned....

Large choice of colors I see... This or that. lol:smiling: Have fun with it Jakko. Cheers, Rick H.

Especially since the outside alone needs four colours for the camouflage. Luckily, Tim suggested using the bare plastic as the third colour, and I have some ideas for how to do the black bits, but I’m not sure yet it will actually work

Received these little goodies today. Excellent HGW seatbelts, instrument panel PE and Erla masks for my 109 nightfighter build (either as a stand alone or part of the Group Build if one more joins, hint hint) and also some AIMS 109 decals (109 G6/AS , G10 and K4) for a load other 109's i have planned to build

 

[Allen Dewire]

Some more evilbay loot that I won this week...2 sellers and a total of €29 for both to the door,

The figs are for the upcoming figure GB and for my V2 project. It's about time I took the plunge into painting figs in my old age. This dark art has scared me for the longest time. Painting figs, not the Trumpy kit of them.....

The other kit that I had won and was sent the wrong kit, was sent back pending a refund. The seller doesn't have the right kit and has no clue about the difference between a KHD S3000 Maultier won in the auction and a Ford 3000S Maultier I was sent. See pics....

Had a bit of health issues recently so Julie bought me this, no not a Stug but looks a belter



Ideal to have a go at weathering to include the interior, looks like the usual Tammy quality, they have added the lovely link and length tracks and extra figures. Used the tracks before with no problems and they look the part with the sag as well

I nearly forgot. My 'big box' purchases from Cosford:

 

[papa 695]

Just got these two kits. The first from John in the shop, the second a cheap buy from EBay to do the second part of Peters Starter kit GB.
