Stole these off of "Evil Bay". They haven't been available for years as I discovered the bottom of the models were marked W. Berlin. I thought I was getting the SS100 tractors and turns out they are the ST100 version. I'm good with that! Happy Day. Rick H.

F82s were reintroduced in 1948 as jets of the time hadn't the legs to escort bombers into Russia. In theory, they could fly from England to Moscow & loiter for 30 minutes & return. 12 hour flights were possible. They were based w/Strategic Air Command. PaulE

PaulE WHATS THIS F82s ? as ive never heard of these a pic please ?

I would have liked the original editions rather than these reprints, which you can tell have been scanned from an earlier edition, but these are still very good books if you’ve got an interest in American armoured vehicles.

One of my all time wants was delivered today.
I just had to wait for one to come at the right price.
And this is why.

Excellent kit Peter. I used to have a Tamiya 1/48 Lanc many moons ago. They have a few accuracy issues such as the canopy but they are all easy to modify. Look forward to you building this.

After hearing so many good things about this paint I figured I ought to give some of them a go. For those that already have them, I guess they'd benefit from a shaker ball?

Yes indeed it has and as I have done this kit before and long before my skills were any good and each time I bodge it up.
So it's time to have another go.

Yes, some of the earlier ones had ball's in them, not anymore though.

They don't take too much shaking to get them mixed properly without.

Thanks Colin & Jack. I have plenty of stainless BB's so added one to each just to be sure.

 

[Dave Ward]

Some of you may be aware of my tireless pursuit of desired models at the right price!
Anyway, I was offered a £5 voucher, and this was on Sale anyway, so less than £18 delivered - postie just thrust this into my eager hands a few minutes ago..........................

This is of course the reboxed version of this


A quick glance, and it looks very nice - and includes a PE fret for the radiator grille...

The casting marks are needed for my Sherman Crabs, and the others are also for those and other Sherman models I have in mind and/or already underway.

A pressie to self to make up for Cosford being cancelled. Recommended by a few on here and as usual excellent service from John.




I can't spend my money on bog rolls or pasta so spent it another way :tongue-out3: :thumb2: :smiling:

I wonder where I've seen that before? So you wanna be a Yakuza too Jim??? Start with the pinky first!!!!

 

[Allen Dewire]

Dave,

If the Revell kit comes with the funky rubber tires, Macone make a really nice set of Dunlop resin tires, MAC35607, for the Fordson W.O.T. 6 and they sell for about €10 for the set of 4...

I wonder where I've seen that before?

Yes, it looks oddly familiar …

Maybe RP Toolz should start making these in different colours so you can tell yours apart from all the others out there.
