Some more goodies

Easy link tracks for a project including Steve H final drive

where did you buy the tracks?.....direct from them?.....a brand im not familiar with

 

[BattleshipBob]

Hi Bob

Historix agents, but hard to find, they have tabs and as you join two links together you just bend the tab onto the other link. Very quick and no drilling. John R used them i think first, historix have a demo on YT. I think they are now made under another name? First set on a StuG B (what a surprise) i made in about 15 mins, both sides.

I'll jump if I can Bob, yes I do use them, love them infact. Not cheap, but they sag so realistically esp on Russian tanks .q
I was recomended them in the " other house " by the guys , in particular Allen Dewire.
Would recommend them highly.

Wow what a myriad of goodies you chaps glean from various sources,My plastic army is severely depleted.I binned over 30 kits and Tasca spares last year.I have a few aircraft kits for a rainy day and leopard 1 kits.Im keen to do a Stug sometime Bob!!!.
I Seem to recall Phil Hyslop did a different Stug a few years ago i believe was an alkett 44 version with a different muzzle brake,I think he based it on a Tankograd picture in Italy 44.Will see what i can find.
Pip pip onk onk chaps.
Rich.

Couldn't resist buying this Revell 'Nina' when it appeared on ebay. The kit is from 1992 when Revell were in Illinois USA and tied with Monogram. First impressions are that it should build into a lovely little miniature historic ship. Nina was Christopher Columbus's favourite of his fleet of three.
In the second photograph, I've put a pen on the hull to show the size.

That is one ugly plane … Not to mention with 500 pieces it must be quite hard to build

That is one ugly plane … Not to mention with 500 pieces it must be quite hard to build

only 500 kits produced - not part count in this case.

It also says only 500 pieces, makes you think they do others with more pieces, crikes.

Aaaaah !!!

The smiley was intended to indicate I realised that, but that I’m joking that what they intend as “limited run of 500 kits” is actually parts count of the kit

 

[AlanG]

Just got this. A nice Amur Reaver conversion for a 1/32 Revell Bf109 G6. Turns it into a Bf109 G6/AS. I have plans for this conversion for another nightfighter build

 

[Jim R]

Bit of an impulse purchase this but I found it on offer for £26 delivered, Sealey BG1010

View attachment 370648

Around 8" / 20cm wide, it has a coarse & fine wheel fitted, variable speed, slow start, flexible shaft for dremel type tools or drill bits that can connect to either side, and an additional piece (not pictured) for mounting the wire wheel, polishing head or red "scotchbrite" type wheel.

I bought it mainly for the flexible shaft as it's got to be easier on the wrist than my heavy budget tool but I'm sure the other bits will come in handy.
