Who has the oldest model kit?
I have a 1/72 Frog Canberra PR 7 from, according to scalemates , 1955 I'm building it as a what if? 'Stratos4' aircrew trainer' using the crew from Airfix TSR2 MS kit. In the same way the anime replaced the TSR2 with MiG31 I will replace the Yakovlev Yak28 for a Canberra PR7 -
not serious
So, I have this Tamiya 1/35 Panzer IV on the bench, it's going well, nicely detailed and a good fit of all the parts Should I have a go at an interior detail build too? I doubt the Germans equipped their interiors like this Miko (wondering if anyone has attempted this before?) -
New nippers
I'm in the market for a new pair of nippers for removing parts from sprues, my old ones I've had for years and their performance isn't what it used to be So, being a Tamiya enthusiast so to speak I checked Amazon for a pair of Tamiya nippers, currently £26, that's with 7%off, is it me or is... -

Delivery weirdness!
I've had a few delivery problems recently, my post on Evri deliveries being one, after travelling thousands of miles across the world and to get within yards from my home only to be returned, those missing parcels are now back in China and a refund has been credited to my account! Crazy waste of... -

Head lamp magnifier thingy
Since my eyesight began to dim a decade or so ago I've needed a lamp and magnifiers to get into the tiny details, I have one of those Anglepoise like like lamps that clamp to the edge of the bench with a 5'' glass lens surrounded by a circular florescent tube lamp, because I'm not modelling at a...- Miko

As far as missus Miko is concerned, I'm looking after these for a friend! Ha! Tamiya group build anyone? to honor the passing of the great man? My first Dragon kit! Useful nippy things and cocktail sticks useful in many ways including painting very fine lines Miko (in retail therapy) -
Tamiya-San has died.
We all owe a debt of gratitude to Shunsaku san, the level of excellence in Tamiya kits have inspired other manufacturers to improve fit finish and detail to rival Shizuoka's finest! I have a number of Tamiya kits from the 1970's that still hold their own today, The Churchill VII being one... -

Arrived today, I've been after a now discontinued 70's era Tamiya M3 Lee as preferred by 'Platz' in their offering of 'Rabbit Team' Girls & Panzer M3 kit, but the ones I can find are ruinously expensive so this 'I❤️Kit' M3 Lee is the right type and version plus arguably a better kit and half... -

Airfix Spitfire Mk8
Hey Matt, welcome back into scale modelling, seems you're in the right demographic for this forum, most of us started modelling at least half a century ago!

Aichi D3-A1 Ooarai
A 'what if' of a 'sort of'?? . . . 'What if' Girls und Panzer used aircraft? Well, they kind of do, there are aircraft in the anime but they aren't involved in the battle games, this one is! In keeping with the rules of 'Sensha-do' (tank battles as a sport) all material had to exist before 15...- Miko
