Steve
I bought mine to fit this airbrush




I don't know if it fits other airbrushes but it looks like this. It only extends the air hose connection and provides a handle.

 

[Peter Gillson]

These came in the post today: some Historex horses, two sets of 54mm heads and 3 sets of 54mm hands. All for a dirama which realistically I will start in November - when I finish a couple of projects I'm in the middle of.

Postman has been busy while I have been away on holiday

1st up; the latest Abrams magazine, though I use that word loosely as it’s not cheap but it’s superb as always and more like a large paperback book



Next another ‘woods’ themed fantasy piece , this one by Ignis Art - Borrowy



Will be an exercise in light and shadows with the airbrush

3rd scale models 1/35 jeep ‘wedge’ and two US airborne soldiers




And finally 1/24 RAF Police man and his dog

 

[Jim R]

That's a very varied haul Steve. You won't get bored with those different genres.

I did grab 2 things from the show in Bayern Yesterday and as I said in my pics post, I only gave out €60, including a round of coffee,


The 1/32 Me262A, which I (the stash?) really didn't need, but looked cool and the Panzer Tracts book which no one has had in stock for a long time. So, to pay for my criminal activity, I'm throwing a bunch of kits in evilbay tonight to get my cash back. And, maybe some extra cash for the SMC show, in Veldhoven next month. That show could be veddy, veddy dangerous to my wallet.........................

Prost

Nice hauls Allen. Hope all is well with you!

A huge thanks to @The Smythe Meister for sending me a driver (modelled by madam and her new badger). He wouldn't even allow me to cover postage. This really is a top community.

I didn't really need this one did I?

Latest addition to the stash.


I’ve not built an Eduard kit before so I’m looking forward to getting started on this one.

Geoff.

It's a great kit. You'll enjoy it.

If I didn't know you better I would say you had a thing for Russian kit.

Call it a lucky guess!!

When it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. Usually. However got these in a ridiculous sale on a well know, sometimes dodgy Chinese rainforest type site. Genuine serial numbers. Was cheap enough not to care if they were knock offs

Had to get rid of them, all that singing, stamping of feet and vodka swilling....

This AFV Club M-109 started off as a scrap kit with extras that someone abandoned for a measly £5 at my last visit to the MAFVA Nationals. It was consigned to the stash cupboard to be converted into the Israeli version at a later date.
Then I saw this Doher/Rochev on evilbay for less than the original price and.......
