Oh dear, I remember clearly when that was released:anguished:. I'm sure building it will bring back memories

Or nightmares?! :cold-sweat:
Got one of those too..... Works very well!!
Something I missed out on in my youth I used to by the Dr who magazine in early 90s and it had the daleks on the back page but I now have the complete set to read 
Ok chaps. So a few more arrivals, mostly but not all 1/72 wargaming related purchases.

----------------------------------
These two came courtesy of the same shop.
I've always fancied doing a WWI plane but have been put off by the rigging. Then I came across the Roland, which has fairly minimal rigging from what I can see. The Wespe is obviously reinforcements for my German forces.
A nice eBay win to reinforce Junior's Brits. Loyalty cards points knocked quite a bit off the price and so it only cost £8.50 delivered.
Have heard very good things about Flyhawk and this came up new for a good price....plus I have always liked the Luchs, so why not.
Finally an order from a Polish shop I often use, mostly for canopy masks, as they're often the only place I can get them easily and so I tend to do a bulk order.
Some kits managed to sneak in though.....
I know I have just done a Raiden but I enjoyed it so much I have decided to another one.
I most pleased about the Long Tom's though. These are resin printed in various scales. Hasegawa did do an inject moulded one but they go for at least £20 on eBay second hand. These were only £15 and on the 'frame' in real life they look VERY good!!!
Clearly the Flyhawk kit wanted to get in on the act again.....this was not a second one.

That Skyraider is in a big box for a 1/72.

Thanks Alan!!!
:smiling5: I know we all say no more kits but in this case I'm having one final splurge this year. I've basically put in a load of orders to 'finish' my collection and get what I want and then I'll crack on sand start to diminish the stash!
There should have actually been two more kits in that lot but there have been post issues meaning two kits have gone astray but I should be getting a refund for both.....and their are and another half dozen in the pipeline!
It is indeed Pete. Not sure why it's so big. This is actually a rebox of the Hasegawa Skyraider, which a have the dual combo version of and that has two kits in the box.
Interestingly though, it's a very big plane in real life. The wingspan of the 1/48 Raiden next to it is only 1-2cm more than the 1/72 Skyraider.
Thabks chaps!
A gift from the Mrs after she won a few quid on the bingo….don’t show Bob
From Telford today.
G
I thought he lost interest in them anyway now he discovered there are similar things that float?don’t show Bob
.... I'll have to send Rach to Bingo:thumb2::tongue-out2:
In my case, my daughter had JUST told me what the budget is for my birthday present..... It will largely pay for the 1/72 Takom M60 dual combo kit I have on pre-order with John.... And possibly the new Airfix 410.....
He could always be tempted back to the StuG away from the floaters :smiling5:

Too bad the Germans never developed an amphibious StuG …
