Hi Pete
Apart from the colour is there and difference between the green and grey putty?

Not a thread I usually participate in

BUT

I have a slight change in the usual faire, which is bigger in real life than I had expected!




If I do get to retire this year, still under consultation, as I am still on a sick note with my new knee, I want to do something different.
I built my last aeroplane in 1969, then I discovered Airfix's 1:72 Stug III G in Woolworths for 3/6, which is 17 1/2p in new money.
I really want the 1:32 Revell Arado sea plane, which is the larger scale version of my last aeroplane built, but its proving a little elusive, I followed one on E- bay but £52 is too much, even for nostalgia.
I'll persevere

The postie just been and left this.

Pete,
You will have to let me know how you get on with the putty as they have changed the formula and I don't like it at all.

Another one ticked off my wishlist!
Not sure why, but this appeals to me - patient stalking on ebay, and I pounced <£16 delivered - result! :thumb2:

I needed perforated plate for my Sherman Crab and found Aber had some. Then it was a matter of finding a stockist, at which point I decided to order some more things I needed or wanted

One tip: when ordering something in France, don’t confuse the French word clair with the English word clear … I now have a bottle of Tamiya light green instead of clear green :thinking:

Hi all

So below are some recent arrivals at work in the past few days.

As you'll see, something of a departure from the usual 1/72 quick-build wargaming kits. Why will become apparent in due course but as a bit of a clue it's linked to my purchase of the Bf110G-4 back in early December!!

ACW as usual

Hi all

Just realised I omitted this off the above post that having also received it yesterday.

Although it doesn't specifically refer to the 110 kits I have in the stash, it should come in useful in all kinds of ways (hopefully)!

AfV Club Scimitar with back date to a Falklands Blues and Royals vehicle from Hong Kong Creative Workshop via Scorpion Models.It has the corrected turret,bolted transmission cover and hull boxes.Lots of extra bits including the ammo boxes carried on the front of the Scimitar but not on Scorpion due to the muzzle blast ripping them up.

That Hobby boss 1/32 Sturmovik is a particularly nice kit. I have built two of the two seater versions.

 

[SteveH]

Thanks Barry

It does looks good in that massive box, with Photo etch, canopy masks and metal legs.

Its a very big plane too!

I always follow your wonderful builds, best way of learning the "how to's"" of big aeroplanes.

Regards

Any stash over a hundred kits is too big

I’ve got a Jaguar conversion kit for the early hull, with which I still intend to build a possibly Falklands Scimitar too. Had it for probably twenty years and not used it yet

Hi all,

It’s been a mental couple months, but I’ve finally resurfaced from the pit of hospitality during the festive season.

Here’s a few acquisitions I made over the holidays. I hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Year, and I can’t wait to see all of the builds that this year holds for us all!

I am soooo envious, all those m1s.

Jakko, whilst i have a fair few kits in the stash and my wife almost certainly thinks I have too many, it's certainly no where near 110.☹ I was actually referring to the Messerschmitt 110s I have (3)!!!
