Got these from the postie yesterday..
To be completed as either RAF or RN version...
Nothing like a good rub down - lets see if it is as good as the old method of Autosol paste followed by Gibbs SR toothpaste.

Received from shop , more plastic strip for windows 
Well, I haven't built anything since about March, but that doesn't mean I can pass up a bargain like this:

Thats a cracking price Pete, no wonder you bought it .
My haul from the Exeter toy fair 
Nice haul Peter. That Kitmaster Swiss engine is very unusual.
I got sucked in by that deal too....see below post!
Ok chaps.....normal service has been resumed albeit in a couple of cases in very sad circumstances.
ACW as usual!

First up are these....Airfix were doing a limited offer of 'Spend £50 and get a 1/48 Spitfire Vb for free'!!
This happened to coincide with the release of new tool Meteor - I don't currently have any, so took the plunge. By my reckoning, the total saving was about 30%, so not too shabby.
These are the bitter-sweet arrivals.
Just before Christmas 2022 one of club members died after suffering a massive stroke. He was in his late-60s/early-70s but very good for his age, despite having to care for his wife who suffers from a neuro-degenerative disease that will sadly kill her in its own sweet time. I had only seen him a week or so before too and he was in his usual good form, so it came as a real shock.
His family are in the process of clearing his stash out and offered them to club members for a donation to charity and so I took these.
Even though it's missing the PE and decals, the Hauler kit in particular was a nice find......just a shame about the very sad circumstances.
ACW as usual!

Nice haul Peter. I think that Kitmaster Crocodile is quite collectible!

OK chaps....
So picked up a few items at today's show....
ACW as usual

I won these in the charity raffle....the money was going to the support the local air ambulance...the socks I live without, the picture though is very nice and part of a limited run by Airfix of only 250.
Picked this up for a very good price from stall of a model shop...prices are normally c. £15 and often more delivered, this was only £10. It will be part of My Hunters and Hunted Collection, as I don't yet have an 88mm

Better explain the idea behind why
I want to join in the AlanGB with a FW190 but im not confidant with aircraft.....its a subject i dabble in but think i never manage the same quality as i do with cars and bikes.......and i havnt a clue how to do luftwaffe mottle camo.....especially since i dont have access to an air brush at the mo......so i thought id get something to practice on......closest thing they had to a fw190 ........so i might have this next on the production line
And any suggestions on how to do the camo greatfully appreciated
