Hi all
interesting one here. I posted last Friday about a damaged box on a delivery I received. I complained to the company, and this morning got a letter....

In it was this. They sent me another box LOL......
Must give a shout out to caliver books on this. Initial delivery was fantastically fast (less than 24 hours), but badly packed. They answered my query about the damage very quickly (within an hour in both cases) and have now satisfactorily resolved the issue.

A couple of bits for me....

 

[peterairfix]

A new toy to play with I didn't really go out for one so it's more of an impulse buy

That's a brand new tooling I believe? Well be interested to know that you think.

So I bought my next, 3rd model. I enjoyed building the tamiya spitfire but I felt I could have done with more assembly so now I propably went to the other extreme and bought the 1/700 Trumpeter Roma kit. I suspect I don’t know what I have got myself into.... purchased PE parts as well

All the way from China - pretty fast, as well - Hunter W35046 Dreadnought wooden deck................


After seeing Carl's ( Defiant911 ) Trumpeter Dreadnought 1907 under construction, I decided I had to try the wooden decks ( tried once before, with bad results - Revell Emden ). I think I'm going to go for a waterline model, perhaps at anchor, with boats in the water & maybe the torpedo nets rigged - although that last part could be a bit too far!
I've got PE add-ons and now I'm thinking on a suitable base - project for the future..................

Where did you get them from?

 

[peterairfix]

Unable to find the original matchbox kit I did find the revell reboxing but I won't say how much I paid for it.

Well all I can say is, I must have one of the best wife’s ever. She doesn’t mind me building models, or bringing kits home. But she doesn’t like the subject matter that much, ie war planes and tanks. So without me knowing she bought me this.

you can imagine the surprise I got when I opened the parcel.

 

[minitnkr]

Is that the same model as James Bond drove? PaulE

Second-hand from another modeller, who apparently had never even opened them …

I would love to get my hands on one of those kits, and even more to actually get round to building it (which would be rather unlikely ). Always liked the Lysander, for some strange reason.

Yes Tony very surprised and very grateful. I’ll not be moaning when she goes shopping while I build this.

 

[peterairfix]

A few more deliveries the B-17 has resin wheels preformed canopies and a laser cut frames.
And a set of instrument decals for my Canberra
