New weapon, well not new, 2nd hand but saved me nearly £50 over buying new. Some of you may know I lost an Infinity in a house move and just can't afford to replace it so have been biding my time
Has a v1 0.4mm nozzle set up which will be getting replaced with the v2 0.2 from my Ultra 2in1, a fine line aircap is on order.
Quick fix handle with memory is something I miss from the Infinity so to find with the handle included was exciting.
Now I can keep my Ultra on a permanent 0.4 set up and this on the 0.2.
I have a two regulator twin hose set up in mind too.

Well......
.... Wasn't sure whether to post this up or not because,to say the least, they're a bit disappointing
Bought the RAF ones of these a while ago,and they were so much better than these US ones.....

To rub it in,I only received 5 instead of the 6 advertised!! .... A close up....

We'll see how they clean up,and what they look like under some paint....but I ain't hopeful!!

Partly because it was there but mainly it can be motorised I may even try to make it radio controlled
If I can find a kit

I had it in the motorised remote (Cable) control version, great fun.

I’d send them back as not fit for purpose Andy, unless you really do want to model the original US jet test jockey who flew in a gorilla mask and waved a cigar at anyone that saw him….

Thanks to some hobby craft vouchers

Good morning all

So whilst the studies are coming to a head and keeping me away from here properly (apologies for the lack of comments), the purchases have continued.....

---------------------------------------------------------------------

The 110 - a true vintage kit and older than me (1967 tooling), with a boxing the same age as me (1970) - is kind of a nostalgia purchase. I built one on here a few years ago, with it being my first twin engine plane since returning to the hobby. I always thought I'd like to do the other option if one turned up for a sensible price, as I enjoyed it so much. Picked up for just over £11 delivered after a cheeky Fleabay offer.....some people are trying to flog it for just over double that, which it is not worth.

As for the Tempest II, no excuses just love the look of these. Have been keeping an eye on this for a while. One seller was doing these for about 10% less than the next cheapest, so I took the plunge.







As for the box, this contains my daughter's Father's Day presents (18th June here in the UK), so you will have to wait for the official unveiling. My daughter gave me a budget and this order slowly grew over three months using Super-Hobby's (Polish site) reservation feature whilst I waited for one item to turn up. The items you can see were in the box but are not mine......watch this space!

Not that one,but I have a Profipack Tempest 1.

 

[Ian M]

It's truly amazing how things just jump into my shopping basket . I think it has been hacked!
I went on the web to buy these:

thick, medium and thin CA and some rats tails!

And this attacked me!

(could not find a Thunder models one, so will be interesting to see how it compares).

It will be a while before I get into that one though.

... a LOT of bits for a tiny AFV,but it does look nicely detailed

Ian,
I built this a while back. Apparently the cab roof is wrong for those that care about this sort of thing. And the wood effect on the back needs some work but overall a good kit.

Actually the Smythe Meister and I have been discussing something on those lines but we're going to wait a bit.....will PM when I have a bit more time....

I feel your pain.....I hope you've reported the hack to the local authorities.... Not that I think they will take it on! :smiling5:
