I bought a GMC version last year, ita got all the bits that you would expect... i bought a flexible hose to go with it... only to find that it had one hidden underneath the packaging! :upside: :rolling: well at least I've got a back up!

That's typical on finding the part already in the box Lee , sort of thing I would do as well .
Just drilled the timbers for the branches, just took my time and let the drill do the work, pleased .

JR, did I understand you correctly, that the lowest rpm setting is 5000? What is the highest rpm? Rick H.

Hi Rick, yes 5000 low 14000 highest. There's no way I would use this above the lowest speed, things would catch fire................................................... Ooh there's a point:flushed::nerd:

Fernando,
you're a brave man to try that DH2 Stripdown! I attempted a Fokker Eindecker many years ago - I still have nightmares!
The Henschel 126 is a nice kit, but the parasol wing struts gave me a lot of trouble!
Dave

Hope you’re over the nightmares when I manage to start on the DH-2 and thanks for the tip with HS-126 wing :thumb2: .

Good luck with the DH-2 and do you know something we don't with the Zombieland, hope your doing a diorama for it.
Pete.

Thanks Pete, I thought that it included the bike too, have to find a nice one and I’m aiming for a scene that could be from the Walking dead:smiling:.

Fernando, I'll be looking out for that DH 2, think you will enjoy that. Hopefully Dave will get over his night mares and be able to watch the build.

Had a look at the instructions and lets say it’s a nice challenge, if you have some patience it will be built here, just not on the top of the build pile now:thinking:

I agree Ian, John is doing a great job of fulfilling orders - I have had a few recently, all arrived in double quick time

Good to see the old Esci Transit back again - lots of scope with that one

Does the Talbot come with etch wheels or just the normal plastic?

Evenin`,
Well i`m blaming Jack L for this moment of weakness!. I`ve wanted to do one of these for a long time but resisted due to the rather large,existing,stash.
However,being of a certain liking for American AFVs currently,i`m a bit vulnerable.......
so when i saw Jack`s finished Priest the other day....... my defences tumbled.........and this arrived today......

Naughty......but nice :astonished::smiling4:!!
Andy

Same here Andy - mine arrived yesterday :smiling3:

Just the normal plastic wheels, to be honest It's just a very basic kit Simon

 

[Jack L]

Sorry both...I look forward to my effort being put to shame!

Afternoon Prisoners,

A package arrived today and it was from a friend who's neighbor passed away and left him some kits. As he only builds models in 1/48 and the kits were all in 1/35, he split them between me and another friend as Easter gifts. Here is what was in my box,


Complete, delicate and finely molded resin kit,


Two more complete kits in resin and metal and etch,


4 complete kits and a conversion for the Opel Blitz,


A complete Meillerwagen in resin and a conversion for the Tamiya 8 ton. The Meillerwagen has some warped and a few broken parts, but is buildable with a little love and patience. The destructions are pretty much worthless though...….These kits are from the 90's and a bit later. So much for my "No Kits, No Kits, No Kits" rule………….

I must tip my hat and give a huge thank you to my friend Ron for his generosity. He wouldn't accept a Pfenning, except for the postage….

Bleib Gesund

You won't regret it. I did that a few months ago and have not regretted it!

Have become really hissed of with fighting the Infinity, thin the thinned paint, drop the air pressure, damn thing even clogs spraying water or just about, so it has been confined to Infinity and i have gone back to my roots...



A nice tin box...


Not tried it yet, but the reviews are on the plus side. If it performs as well as my Iata's then it can stay.
