Self-explanatory bits and bobs - apart from the paper-covered florists wire, which is for making a tree.
Hi all
So some pre-Christmas arrivals.
The paints are a recommendation from Ian M as good matches for RAF roundel red and blue (on this thread). The IP is a bit of bling for my ancient Airfix Hampden and a very good price from Poland. :smiling3:
Next up a couple of real departures for me and although I cannot prove it, I'm blaming @AlanG for my lack of resolve. :sad-face:
As you know I'm almost exclusively a 1/72 man. Now in his defence, Alan has not specifically recommended these but as we know he does like a large scale wingy thing or three. We have had a number of PM chats since the Spring, generally me seeking his advice, although we did recently discuss the heat output of a female pig; FYI a 200Kg sow can apparently produce 3Kw!!
I can only assume that Alan had been including subliminal messages in our PM chats. For example, "Large scale planes are excellent!", "You must buy larger planes!!", "Big is best!!". I say this because recently I have found myself looking at large scale wingy things.........then I started to bid on them on FleaBay and so ended up with the below. :astonished:
The Weekend Edition Spitfire was an auction win. Although it's still available on general purchase I managed to win it for £16 and a bit incl. p&p, a couple of quid less than the cheapest price I could find online, and it was in fact the cheapest recent purchase. I have just ordered a canopy mask but even so I think it's still a good price for what looks to be a great looking kit on the sprue.
The ProfiPack 109 was a 'buy now' price for a few quid cheaper then the next best 'buy now' price and it was only £1.50 off the best recent purchase price. It of course comes with the full bells and whistles.
I would just like to take a moment to reassure those into their tracky things that I have not abandoned the ground....I'm justbroadening elevating my horizons!
Happy Christmas to you all!

When you said 'large scale' I thought you'd gone and bought a 1/24 Spitfire IX! - disappointment......Hi all

How do you find the AB cleaner concentrate?
John - that VMS Ballast Freeze is good stuff. You'll find it very useful.
I was thinking the same thing Dave except maybe in 1/32...
Uh oh Brother!!! You having flashbacks to your dubious days in the 60's again???
I treated myself to 2 pressies this year. One is on the way and the other is here already,
Now everybody, can you say, "Ho!!! Ho!!! Ho!!!???.....You'll have to wait for a pic of the other one until I get it...

I didn't really need any, but for £1.99 deliveredCan't find the exact link - but https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/363190724773?hash=item548fdaa8a5:gm0AAOSw5wRfukwW&amdata=enc:AQAHAAAA8Fna2xwnQ+SrVXS5xAKKv0wWnbdoGXPTy3fgli1Vqoo6OnzdmSujm5VMh+vuxBjahOhjkAx1kQAKGBi9d9TfaSrqVjNvm7wzo3Y6fqg0Kii3bX4zVoA4jXK9CGvkWJSOCfJ0HhjGYvWqC2AGOf4gxspNulGCktbXEghzxXm+OEY2gmbxDyp1mZQPeWszH0hyQ2YKSpq1vG1AqYWk0P1mdfPYEVXljE0R4TpxwNnCqcKbEeOiwhCiqZXEm1ISXO2JkCswKcfIa7OOfs19RsklHKWChzn/yzOiv1EZ/wbkzu5aM3RbYPvYBA8mpWH6lnVTpg==|tkp:Bk9SR-K8p9igYQ there are lots of others on Ebay!

Surprised they got through the postal system packed in just that poly bag inside a mailing bag though.

For once i am going to say "I'm not guilty on this one". I refer you to the 'not specifically recommended' section of your libelous comments. If i had in fact done 'a job' on you, you'd have ventured into 1/32 scalealthough I cannot prove it, I'm blaming @AlanG for my lack of resolve. :sad-face:

Can't wait to see what the other presents you have that i may or may not know what they are already lol
Extremely surprised that this arrived today. I bought it yesterday, and with the goings on at Royal Mail, I didn't expect to see it until New Year 
I had no concept of the size...
I assure you my arm is normal size...

That's MAHOOSIVE!! , !!
That's what she said. (Sorry).
Quite fancy one of them as well. Be nice to do all the gubbins under the decks.
Exactly that. Just the above water section. I definitely don’t have room for any other parts!Looking at the box art, I'm assuming you only have the midship section with con and gun emplacement in the kit, or are there 2 or 3 more boxes on the way for the rest of this "beauty"??

Put some ambulance stickers on it and it will fit just fine
Bought for use in a GB but not really suitable so will get something else. Beautiful car though.
Honestly Jack, is your bathtub big enough for you to play with it when it's done??? Just wondering............

Very good indeed Andrew, I've used it for some time now. The ability to mix your own strength is helpful, from a general clean kept in a ex eye wash bottle to a full strength for really deep clean .Considering the amount you can make from that bottle along with the saving in postage it's a winner .
Thanks Jim, think you mentioned it once before. VMS had a offer on so made up the order with those two . Used to have some AK stuff but used it all up months ago .
