Advice needed re: window frames
I think Hobbycraft do the plasticard sheets to? as well as many other scale model bits of gear, never thought of them when I first got back into it, but now pop into my local one every now and again and you can get some good bargains, including some kits....- pjgtech

Advice needed re: window frames
Google AI seems to think that most scale model kits are made from ABS polystyrene, not HIPS polystyrene. It says: The vast majority of plastic scale model kits are made from High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS), not ABS. HIPS is the industry standard for injection-molded kits because it is easy to...- pjgtech

British Universal Carrier Mk2 - Tamiya 1:35
Main wheels now on, made sure to get a good bond, and will leave them for a good 24 hrs, as we have the horrid rubber stretchy tracks to fit, so may have to stretch them over the wheels, so could easily come loose or worse come off!- pjgtech

Peter's Airfix Spitfire Mk.1a - 1:72 - 90 Yrs of Spitfires GB
I am thinking of a very small dio for when the GB Spit is done, maybe parked up on a bit of grass/runway, etc with a few little figures beavering away, ground crew, etc. So I bought this to go with the Spit...- pjgtech

What to do with completed models?
I think I asked this last year, Lol.... I was running out of space, but have dismantled some, and kept parts that I think I might use again. Did think about ebay, some do sell, but there's the hassle of packing so it does not get damaged, etc? Did think about charity shops, but TBH you don't see... -
British Universal Carrier Mk2 - Tamiya 1:35
There's not a lot of room for the driver figure! Had to carefully check his arms a few time to make sure they were in the correct position. Parts ready for a dry run... Then put the pieces in place, front bonnet and front bulhead, to check the driver fits and looks ok.... Then primed up, in...- pjgtech

At what point is your "stash" getting out of hand?
Yeah, last year I bought two small auction lots, each lot had several kits in it, I bought them just cos they were cheap and ended up with a load of older kits, mostly planes, which are not my favorites TBH!- pjgtech
