I got this in the free shipping/10% off at Eduard - It looks great inside but no rushing this one. Just finishing a Tamiya Spitfire, got their Me 109, but this may need to wait until I get my hand in - actually, maybe until I get an airbrush.

If anything, it looks more complex than the Phantom - that was a treat earlier this year but got a stash to get through before I get to these.

The Eduard kits I have seen are great but oh what a lot of p.e. - my pet hate.... I bet they build up well though.

Has anyone else seen the 1/18 yes 1/18 scale Harriet that is on the way. Feb 2015 I have read being the best guess at a release date...

Very nice Alan, always liked the look of these .

 

[Alan 45]

I've always wanted to build one since I was a kid but it was out of my price range , me and my eldest were watching X-Men first class last week some time and there is one of these in it , my wife must have overheard me telling my son about it and saying I wanted one years ago , she said wasn't that much so she bought it me

I saw the real thing in the Smithsonian and it looked so futuristic there, hard to believe it was built in the 60's. It really is impressive up close. I may have a photo on my hard drive I can upload if I can find it.

[edit] 3 - not the best I'm afraid. Have to say, anyone is ever in Washington DC area, the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum is a great place to waste a lot of hours, it's in Chantilly outside of DC.

Thought i would make a change & get a tank, never seen this make before (MENG) so i thought i would give it a go.

First thing i noticed was the box is very heavy, on opening the box i could see why, lot's of plastic.

The tracks look like there going to be a right pain to build.

Recieved this today. I find it makes photo etch cutting much easier than using a knife. Bit of a strong spring. View attachment 86656

I want that Terminator myself John, although the trackage looks like serious work!

 

[Guest]

These are some more of my birthday pressies given by my wifey and family, with a few more coming, really looking forward to opening the Trumpy challenger and the diorama debris moulds, lots of cobbles and roof tiles

Sorry for some of the quality of the pics, that`s it for now

Nice haul

Looks like Dr Who is already taking the phone booth Tommy

 

[Guest]

Nice one Ian, that phone booth is a lovely kit, the telephone is really smart bit of kit on it`s own, might put it on the railway station dio
