Oh yeah, and this turned up in the post this morning, via our friends at Amazon....
Snap!
I've been too busy sniffing glue to have more than a flick through, but there's plenty of good stuff to look at inside.
Mr. Etzel is a very accomplished diorama creator who is well known to many of this forum's members. I'd love to know how many of his works are in the book.
Hard to say Paul as none of the many images are credited. I recognise the ones of Scotties work, but the rest could be anyone's.
The cover photo is his river crossing dio for sure.
Paul there are 4 of his dioramas in the book that I think most people who have followed his work in the past will recognise and two of my builds.
Apart from my two the rest of the work is his mate.
A couple of Birthday pressies:
From the good lady.
and this from a cash gift from the sister in law.
As I have built a few ICM kits in the past, I bought the xtradecals set for this one and due to the acers of glass, the Eduard masks for them.

Happy birthday!! Hope the cake hasn't set off the smoke alarms lol
Bit of light bedtime reading
Might be a clue as to what's coming next?

Apologies for no photos, I still can't upload as yet
Just received the Italeri re-issue of the old Supermodel CANT Z.1007, and it IS just a re-issue. Unlike the upgraded Z.506 and SM.81, which had interior detail added and inscrbed panel lines (even where the real S.81 doesn't have them!), the Z.1007 is simply the old kit. With raised panel lines!
It does include both single and twin tails, and a nice transfer sheet for six schemes, including one for a Corpo Aereo Italiano for the Battle of Britain
The Supermodel kit needs a LOT of work to make accurate, so I was hoping Italeri had done SOMETHING to the kit, as there's no alternative to start from. Disappointing

Sad to read that Steve, bought some disappointing kits myself a few years ago and since then I'm always looking for reviews (scalemates) before buying a new kit...
We had some local postoffice strikes last weeks, so this one got stuck for a while but finally arrived today
Mr Marlow did recommend this kit (at least the same sprues) a few times so looking forward to it 🖌

That’s really disappointing for you Steve, unfortunately Italeri have a habit of doing this
.Geoff.
Arrived today. Recommended and looks interesting.
Kaci towers delivery again
