discussion Latest Acquisitions (2021)

[Mini Me]

Here are the latest arrivals.........I got the rinse well for cheap, so couldn't pass it up. The remaining components, Stay wet sponges and top papers for my "sandwich box" wet palette are here at last and also some AAA battery holders for a possible lighted diorama I'm playing with. Lastly, I couldn't pass up a two for the price of one deal on Evilbay.......... an early '30s Mercedes L5 and a same vintage MAN, both of which were well integrated in the Wehrmacht.

Not sure what I've let myself in for, but....

Looks like a job for 4BO :flushed:

An early delivery from postie

Box is a little battered, but contents OK - an ebay bargain, <£12 delivered. High Altitude Scheme of Medium Sea Grey on the top, and PRU Blue underneath - a bit different!

For some strange reason, these things keep showing up at the door.....I guess evilbay is to blame or maybe my weakness to let a good bargain slip by.....A few additions of late since Easter,


I think all the fantastic 1/32 wing thingy builders on here are to blame and of course a delivered price under €30 didn't help......Next,


The last one on the wish list other than the 2 wing thingies that are no longer available and have stupid silly prices. Then,


Cheap at €16,80 delivered and I have both Borgwards in the stash to play with. Really finely made kit including the late tracks in resin. I would have to say the last one was an impulse buy due to Barry's current outstanding build and the great price I got it for. Just a tick over €34 delivered,


You get the parts to build the wheeled version included in the kit. You just need a set of resin tires to do it. I think I'm slowly (NOT) going wing thingy in my old age, but they are so cool.............And yes, I am also reducing the stash to make room for these new kits....................

My application for the most wasteful packaging. My wafer thin sheet of transfers came in this large box and all the packaging. Do they not have envelopes in Russia?? OMG!!!

If it had come by envelope it would have been trashed Steve. Look to be a nice set as well . Very different from what we normally see.

Couple of gems ive been eyeing up for a while arrived today . Its the Arma hobby Hurricane mk1 trop and the Fokker EV . Beautiful looking kits , not overly complicated but superbly tooled and with some great decal options . The hurri will be done in the RAAF foliage green / earth brown scheme as it just looks so good ( plus it will sit nicely bext to my cac boomerang and vultee vengeance ) . The Fokker will be interesting with the big lozenge decals to contend with but im looking forward to it ( my kind of ww1 bird - no rigging ! :thumb2::smiling5

 

[Tim Marlow]

Interesting kits Tony. The E V may not have rigging , but there will be control wires .....but perhaps not in 1/72....

No Tim I have faith that he was a crafty fokker and all the control wires were hidden or completely invisible :smiling5:

Looks to be the same as the Bulldog I built but with rubber tyres and lights.

My 1st 1/24 scale kit, thanks very much to a generous Steve (airborne 01). Loads of plastic that will keep me busy for ages.

 

[Guest]

Here at Race Towers the post dept have just received this.



Yes 2 kits, shan't use all of them.
Nice touch from Hannants they tell you if you've already had the item before, which I had.

Certainly is. I've added things to the basket many a times and a little 'reminder' pops up. Very useful indeed.
