This one arrived today....got it originally for the Pacific GB, then realised that they were land based,DOH!!

Nice Mr. Smiff...And a great excuse to build up the stash Buddy!!!

You will have a lot of fun with that I think Allen. As to the price, if you want it, and can afford it, have it. Life is too short for regrets about not spending a few quid…..

Prob is...It gets worse!!!...........

And it did!!!..I went back on MBK's site late Friday and saw they still had some WnW kitsets available. With a 5% discount and always free postage, I lost all control and snagged this baby up. Postie dropped it off 20 minutes ago,


The funny thing is, this kit cost €25 more than the original USD sell price from 2015, when it was released!!!...You also have to love the shark teeth decals...Oh, and the figs and stuff should come on Thursday......

Hmmm, they still have a Rumpler C.IV (early) kitset for sale, but I think I'll pass on it...Got enough now...............

Prost

Now that’s a lot of rigging……pretty damn big as well.

 

[Allen Dewire]

There is a bit of rigging Tim, but the instructions show where it goes, internal and external. It's only a 57cm span x 30cm in length, as opposed to the Felixstowe F.2a's span of 91cm x 44cm length...

Found this while looking for something quite different. As in not this something else but yes this is very different! lol
Complete and unopened! The "Brass-work" is a bit orange, so that will be striped and painted.

Magic! - I had a go at this a looong time ago - the self adhesive brass bands around the boiler casing were a bit rough, but a really impressive model - with all the new LED tiny lights, it just begs to be illuminated!

So I've just pushed the button (pun intended) on this! Upping my airbrush game...

You will not be disappointed.

An Ebay 'buy it now' - ordered yesterday ( Tuesday ) delivered today...............

From a well known retail shop at...............£13.38 delivered. At that price it would be rude not to!

[Si Benson]

A few bits that have recently made their way into the ever increasing stash :smiling4:

 

[Guest]

Ooh, a Vietnam Centurion, always one of my favorite versions of that tank

 

[Geoffers]

Arrived today, a bit of PE bling for my Emergency Service Group Build entry :smiling:



This also arrived today for my intended Pacific Group Build entry


Geoff.

 

[minitnkr]

Always on the lookout for engineer stuff. Found this on ebey. Not thrilled w/instructions, but castings are well done. D8 8Rs were deployed at Division level. Still looking for smaller company level dozer versions.

 

[The Smythe Meister]

As my Beaufighter nears the end,my mind turned to my next Wingy build,being still stuck in an R.A.F. vein,I realised that there was only an old and flash infested Airfix Hurricane in the stash!!!
SO, with that in mind,the search began,settled on this....

Also ordered the Canopy and Camo mask sets... Happy days

Well Mr. Smiff, I guess this wing thingy puberty has taken you over, and now there is no rest for poor Cohan...

In all honesty, I think I have been bitten a little by the wing thingy bug too, of late, with my WnW buys. This little package showed up yesterday for them,


Copper State Models do make some nice figs and with 45 meters of rigging material, I should master that art before I run out of it...

[Steve Brodie]

Couldnt Resist her. Went for the less scantly clad version;
1/10th scale Dolman Miniatures - A2 Girl. Currently penning a review of her;

My first Japanese plane.... My first Japanese anything actually!! :smiling3:
Looks quite a simple build, not that many bits,but looks nice nevertheless

Lovely choice andy , its a fairly old Tamiya but decent and captures the look of the chubby raiden nicely. Ive got the very rare Revell 1/32 raiden in the stash , seeing this is making me want to dust it off ! Anyone fancy a japanese GB ?!

 

[adt70hk]

Ok......so this was a late arrival from last year, having got caught up in the Royal Mail strikes following delivery from Poland.

Had to buy this after being subliminally forced to buy an Eduard 1/48 Würger by Alan! :smiling5:

Can't help feeling that the A4+ sized envelope is slightly OTT..........
