Received this, not a kit but 1:1 scale, looking forward to putting a few down range soon...
Non blowback, less working parts but more power and better range, approx 275fps

What model is that one Lee?....I can't see it on their website :thinking:
Andy, it's the HFC M9, I got this one from Bespoke Airsoft
Delivered yesterday, bought from our good buddy Lee. The B.O.B. Memorial Flight set 1/72 Lancaster (No Box) Thanks Lee. :thumb2:
Won these below from an auction site.
A good size 1/420 Arizona + a 1/72 Zero and a 1/72 Nakajima 'Kate. etc. all for £15 delivered!
Having never heard of the USS Franklin, I was drawn by the box art.
Brief history.
She was steaming within 50 miles of the Japanese mainland during WW2. Her flight and hanger decks were loaded with aircraft bombed up and ready for raids on mainland targets.
Out of the clouds and undetected came a lone Japanese bomber. It dropped two A.P. 500Ib bombs. Both hit aft square on the flight deck and penetrated into the interior. The aircraft on the flight deck all caught fire and their ordinance exploded. All the aircraft were destroyed. The same happened on the hanger deck. The ship was a raging inferno.
Nearly 800 souls lost their lives along with almost 300 badly injured. making this the second largest loss of life in U.S Navy History. The highest being the USS Arizona at Pearl Harbour (1200 died)
For two days the crew battled to save the ship - and succeeded. The crew said later "If a ship won't sink, she can't be sunk!"
The full story is well worth reading.
So I sez to meeself. That would make a great subject for a diorama........
Cheers.

Picked this old relic from a friend for RM50 equivalent to a tenner in your currency. Will try to bring it up to present standards for our Independence day GB. I think the ones used here were camouflaged and tail planes were different.

A charity shop find complete with paint witch I won't be using. 
Sorry to disapoint but no build thread way to involved. I will post something on it though.
I've bought this for Pete's up and coming G.B. It says it's a general all purpose/ personnel carrier, so I hope it'll do.??
Also, I wanted summat to have a bash at a 1/72 digital camo on. The kit supplies all of them as decals, but I want to try and brush them on.
Cheers.

Well, not that exciting,but some supplies and "extras" for my, recently, acquired ICM Beaufort...
.... It must be a current trend to upgrade your product... that's a new style of VJ bottle to me,and also the Eduard mask set packaging is now HUGE...but the important bit is still the same yellow,tiny slip:flushed:

......me again!! :smiling4:
You know those times when the wife treats you to a bottle of your favourite tipple,( in my case,J.D.),you have a couple,fire up the laptop,browse a certain site,close the laptop,and toddle off to bed?.... NO?!:flushed:.... Oh,just me then!!
Anyway,cut a long story short,I got 2 reminders yesterday morning to "increase my bids"....
"What bids"?.... Thought I :thinking:......
It would seem that I placed two minimum bids....and promptly forgot all about 'em!!
So, I've ended up with these, for the princely sum of £20 and £4 combined P&P.......
So,a forray into WW1 is on the horizon
Luckily no one else bid,so £24 for 2 kits... rather chuffed...and relieved!!

I've not actually built any yet,but I've had a Roden SE 5 in the stash for a while
And the Fokker Tri plane is purely nostalgic,as the Red Baron reminds me of my early modelling days,many moons ago
Triplane should be a nice way to ease into the type, as far as I remember it doesn’t have a huge amount of rigging….Allen did a fabulous Snoopy dio with one yonks ago as well….I've not actually built any yet,but I've had a Roden SE 5 in the stash for a while

Another I wanted to try this time it's the first issue of the kit complete with gearing so it can be motorised 
Me too!
Evening all
So some basic essentials have arrived in the last couple of days......I don't need that much glue but getting it from my local hobby shop can tricky sometimes, so I thought I'd stock up.
Managed to snag this 110 on the Bay that is Evil for what I think is an OK price.
If you want a non-night fighter 1/48 Eduard Profipack Bf 110, you can pick one up a new one for just under £30......but if want a night fighter version a new Weekend Edition will cost around £30 and a Profipack approaching £40 and often more - go figure!
Whilst the decals are of no use, they're for a D-3, the cheapest I have found the cockpit additions and masks for is £15 plus p&p, so all in all I think I've done ok.
The box is absolutely chocked full of parts too!
I might try selling the decals for a few quid as one place I regularly used is currently selling them for £15.
