Popped into Lidl's today and found this. It comes with a cylinder of gas.

But can you imagine the shock of being on the receiving end of a 17pdr shell from a tank with no direct line of sight!!! :smiling5: :tongue-out2:

We’ve found the reason for the 17-pounder’s inaccuracy, I’d say.

A very big box arrived today, and inside securely packaged was my display case;

Well it's taken quite a bit to save up for this but i finally have it.

1/32 AIMS Ju88 C6 Dayfighter conversion set with a decal sheet for the aircraft i want to do.



Also got a few different scatters for my bushes and trees.

 

[Dave Ward]

Postie thrust two parcels into my eager hands...........

The MiG Lucky varnish - I was running out, & the Beriev - an unusual aircraft at a very good discount !!!

A few things to fill those gaps in my hobby-closet,
another paint rack, airbrush seals, paint and snap blades :hugging-face:



Keep it safe, happy modeling!

I think I must be on a machine thing at the moment as I have something else in the machine line ordered.

Waiting for me when I got home including 80 magazines it's one of the those that I had and got rid of and regretted it so I had the opportunity to work with snap this one up cheap but still to find the 60 odd missing mags

 

[Lee Drennen]

Postman dropped this off Friday. Going to do a wheel swap on it for sure.

 

[Mini Me]

Hi Lee,. How old is that kit? I laughed when I looked at the box art......the two guys sitting on the ground having a conflab over the map while that gun is going off! I stood behind a 5 inch open mount during a General Quarters drill, when I was onboard the Intrepid.....when that thing went off it emitted a ball of flame at least 20 feet in diameter and blew the hat off my head! :confounded:

[Lee Drennen]

Rick. You think the Box is funny you should see the figs. This kit is around the early 60s it’s a re pop from Atlantis. The Gun is not to bad with some upgrades.

 

[Guest]

I will stand well clear then Lee , even though there might be 20ft flames.:flushed:

 

[Mini Me]

This should bring you a few hours of nostalgia or.........days of torment if it goes sideways on you. Have fun!

I recall building a Revell version of Long Tom & M4 Hi-speed tractor in the late 50s. Both were fully articulated & pretty sturdy. PaulE
