Scale Model Shop

Latest Acquisitions (2026)

Had no intentions of buying any more kits this year cept for a mig for the mig gb........ I actually have a rough plan in my head of what gets built for the rest of the year..... But i went in hobbycraft and saw something on the shelf thats been out of stock in the whole country for the last 6 months....... Ive been after a Jag for ages...... Its from the era of RAF that i like....... Harrier/Jag/Bucc........ Ive done the Harrier last year.... All i need now is a Buccaneer so i can have a line up


One of my fave aircraft of all time

One day, I’ll have the ones from RAF Germany when we lived there in the 70’s - so that would be the Buc/Jag and Harrier too :) I’ll get the markings right for Wildenrath and Bruggen too between '75 and '78 - Maybe next years project.
 
Freshly delivered, from our very own SMS, (Thanx John)...
running out of Desert Yellow paint, and TET and fancied those weird bendy (Beam?) clamp things, as they look good....
Plus got some spare Dspiae filters for the vac.
Alos bought some red brown Mr Hobby Aqueous cos I needed some and I'm all out, accept I'm not, went to put the new tin on the shelf and low and behold theres a tin (full) already there, so don't know how I missed that, Doh!
Can always use a spare, so no biggie...

Yeah, I know, there's one about 10 miles from me (Maidstone), plus I have a model shop quite local to me too, just 5 mins away.
But I like to support John where I can, as he does provide us with this forum, so I'm happy to buy a few bits from him (via the SMS) and he is quick, I think I ordered on Sunday afternoon he posted it on Monday and it was here with me today. (y)

I really like Eduards Spitfires and these are good value. X2 models, PE, masks and decals for 15 options.

Thats me done buying for a while until I’ve built a couple at least

Had to get some shopping, eggs and bread, so had to go past my local model shop, so I popped in, as it would be rude not too....
They had loads on sale as they are being taken over by a new owner in a week or so, so picked up a few bits.
This was down form £20 to an unwell Octopus (sick squid!) :);)

I already have a ME109 in the stash, (Airfix) but its in braille scale, so this is a bit bigger and hopefully will have a bit more detail.
I wanted to get a metal pigment too, so picked these up and some fixer too.

Hello mate, I grew up in Maidstone, in Allington to be precise. How is my old home town? There used to be a long time ago a brilliant toy and model shop at the bottom of Gabriels Hill.

Hi Mate, I don't live in/around Maidstone, so sorry don't know that Road/store.
I'm at Great Easthall, outstkirts of Sittingbourne, cheers
 
That’s a great bargain Peter 😀

It’s probably worth that for the Cartograph decals alone.

Geoff.
