Always liked this Soviet tank - will it be OOB or are you adding the "bed spring" Armour?

I'm looking into adding the bedspring armour, although given the price of it i may have to alter my plans... found a set in Russia, the postage is twice the item cost to start with..ouch..

UPDATE...Just found a set on the bay of fleas..(i think @Dave Ward pointed me towards them yesterday.)... discovered I had a shed load of nectar points sitting in my e-bay account.. and boom, pulled the trigger on a set, cost me £2.00 for the postage.. Now that's what i call a result.

Just arrived today a OO gauge laser cut weigh bridge and office kit. Ideal for my next diorama build.

This is one of the easier things to scratchbuild, I think. All you need is some mesh and plastic strip to make a decent approximation of it.

Postie just dropped this off:

This is a reboxing of the Eduard D.III, as shown by 'Eduard' on the sprues ( all 2 of them ). 2 finishes, Jasta 24 & Jasta 37 both 1917.
I'd been looking for an Eduard Albatros, but couldn't find one at a price I liked, the Revell reboxing popped up on ebay, buy it now, at <£13.5 delivered - that's a price I like!

Nothing as exciting delivered to Race Towers as the above, but found some sable brushes in a set which should suit figure painting.

Think I have used this manufacture before, made in Germany. Not cheap by any means.


Some nice small handles and the brush heads look good.

Went looking for masks for the Lysander "greenhouse"
found these @ Hannants delivered today :-



By the time I got to the checkout, someone had sneaked this one in!!!! :surprised:



Don't know who did it!! :surprised:

Well it was half price - and - I can't resist a bargain!!
No wonder the wifey has banned me from using the trolley in the supermarket!! :flushed::flushed:

Postie just delivered another ebay find

I've made Roden 1/72 WWI planes before, but this is my first 1/48 - there are no less than 5 decal sheets, 2 of crosses & personal insignia, one of rib tapes & two lozenge camo sheets ( one top, one bottom ). Two different engines, 3 propellors - and four different finishes. I hope the instructions are clear!

Great choice of airplane. Amazingly we have one of the last originals in our little country museum.



If you need any detailed shots when you build it let me know.
