[Ian M]

Yeah! My packages have arrived!
Winner by a couple of hours was PostNord, the Danish national postal 'service' Whom which left the pack and ran. lol.
the content of which was:

Was almost out of black primer and Needed the red brown for the Halftrack
While I was there these hopped in the basket:

Also a large pot of liquid mask....
The other pack, from Poland arrived an hour ago and had these in:

One of which will be getting thrown behind the 12 ton tractor....
Ho and two bottles of Mig/ammo glue.

 

[Andy the Sheep]

Have

You tried mixing with other brands?
It's one of the claims.

Not yet. It's on the "to try" list, however.

Mornin`.......
Well,the Birthday modelling "Tokens" have been spent,and the last of the items arrived yesterday,so here are the resulting goodies:money-face: ........
..... I pondered over various sites,and,on line auctions for many an hour before deciding on,and/or winning,(or not!!),bids:nerd:,
I went for a selection of kits and "Stuff" rather than blowing it all on one kit,and ended up with quite a varied selection ...........
First up,........

couple multi packs of replacement blades,(a real "Must" if you ask me),and a nice camo mask set for my Defiant:hungry:,next,some 1/48th 3D printed pilots,2 types....... one with "Mask on" and one with "Mask off",they`re quite nice,but look a little "Chunky" when compared to say,Tamiya pilots.Also 1/48th Extradecal Swastika set,although due to the various sizes i reckon some will be handy for other scales:thumb2:.....

now a plane that i`ve wanted for ages,but could never decide on which kit....... until now.......


Finally,I`ve seen a lot of the guys building Ships lately and have often thought,"I quite fancy trying something different". That in mind i saw a "Job Lot" on the Bay that is Evil...... Seller asked £135 B.I.N...... or starting bid £50..... I placed said £50 and ended up the only bidder .....
This next 5, Yep FIVE ,kits arrived together yesterday........






At first glance they look to be quite nice,and a fairly simple build..... and at 5 kits for £50,well,what`s not to like!!
So there you have it,a rather eclectic mix of stuff,but i`m rather chuffed..... All came in under my £100 Birthday Budget....... even have enough left to celebrate with an Ivor Dewdney`s "Giant Peppered Steak Pastie"
HAPPY DAYS !!

I keep dithering over that Beaufighter too, hurry up and build it so I can make my mind up......

.... Will do Karl!
Just peeking in the box it looks very nice, and fully packed too
I've waited a while to get one,so, despite the builds I have on the go at the moment, it's jumped up to a list topping kit

Thank you to the resident book fairy, Mr Airforce.......

Great choices Andy glad to see the scalpel blades nothing worse than sitting at the bench and thinking doh! I knew there was something I meant to get . Dave
Never heard of Mr Dewdney

 

[Guest]

I’ve been on that one, in 1998 Bloody hot inside … but very impressive to see the insides of the rear gun turret.

 

[langy71]

That's a fine haul Andy, plenty to keep you going as winter approaches..

Happy Birthday buddy

 

[scottie3158]

Hi Karl,
Great book.
I have had it in my library for over 50 years, though it is a little stylised of the time, it is a superb reference and is my 1st stop for uniforms, medals and anything Wehrmacht.
Good catch

And very grateful I am.
