Got this in the post today, I put in an offer on Ebay thinking it would not be enough, but it was.

Not a very big box but it's packed full of plastic and looks like an interesting build.

I’ve got the armoured version of that (which Mirror Models calls “U.S. Armored Bulldozer” when it was a British armoured cab …) and it’s also very full of parts. Not built it yet, but it looks like a good kit.

Another big project landed on my doorstep and one sixth the price of the trumpeter one and a lot less work needed.

Mail Man dropped these off this week. I got one package (Tiger Shark) from the UK very excited about it was cheaper to buy it across the pond with postage than eBay or anywhere here in the US. I’m going to try my hand at some 1/48 figures also

...don't you believe it, Peter. It's a card model after all....... :fearful:

Lee,
it might be an idea to hide your address on your parcels! I think we're all OK, but there are some funny people out there!!
Dave :thinking:

 

[Lee Drennen]

Ok thanks Dave never thought of that. The mods. Bailed me out on that one I won’t do that again. Thanks

Being from Mirror Models it should be good Andy. They have an agent in Ireland should you have any parts missing. Probably sold it because it was too hard.

New build arrived a couple of days ago...

Inside plus additions that will be used, might do a blog, but I feel that like London bus's - you wait for one and along come 10 at the same time.

The AA enhanced armour will be used to build the bar armour plus the extra required, the other item on top is for 'Barracuda' to be added. So all the resin AA items will now be relegated to the spares box.

Mike,
good luck with the bar armour - that would have me running for the hills!!

It's not the set that RFM have for themselves.

I went to a model shop and I came away with this one not because I wanted it because I actually wanted to buy one and bring it home myself.

I agree. Internet is great, but you cannot beat actually buying in a shop and taking it home with you

Ditto. At least 8 years since I frequented a model shop and nothing within cooee where I live in Herts.

Keeping the postie busy with some online purchases:

Couldn’t resist the silly bunny kit and now a trio of Lizzy’s with full etch resides in the stash…:nerd:
Also got a sheet of Defiant decals for the EW K scheme (Ewok StarWars fan go figure:tongue-out3, only found out it’s a year too late for the BoB GB, for the next Defiant

And picked up an order from the local airbrush shop too, supplanted my British WWII colours and a general stock up as I have some time off coming up

Those reads on the right look stunning.

Great service from the company and very reasonable postal charges.
