oh very nice John,yyyaaaaaaaaaa cannot wait to see it done,

and wow that was quick,you only said you order like 4 days ago,

and i like the RAF pilots,is the dog include ?

and know that feeling of no time to yourself,

 

[Guest]

The nose weight included really fascinates me. When you built it, how did it fit?John

It went in fine John, the engineering of the kit is typical Tamiya quality. I've racked my memory to think of any dodgy areas, but apart from the fiddly radar antennae, I can't think of any!

Just got a 1:48 Hobbyboss Me 262A-1a/U3. I can't wait to build it as it looks fantastic. Like the Tamiya Uhu, it has a nose weight and a full Gunbay

I just put 1/48 figures in the search on eBay moni , there's loads on there from most countries and some civilian figures as well

 

[monica]

ta Alan,but evilbay is not my friend some time lol,,but will give it a try,

I was after some 1.35 civilian,well to say Hitler youths and could not find any at all

only one in a couple of the mimiart ones,how useful would a 3D printer be at the moment

Yeah the only hitler youth I've seen is in the miniart set as well , as for the 3d printer I have no idea

I have the ebay app and it's much better than the web site and I find most things just by putting in what I want so I'd say download it and see what happens

I have it on my iPad but I'm sure it's on all formats from pc's to all smart phones so you should be able to get it

 

[monica]

will have a bit of a dig about and see if there is one for the PC that works better when searching for some think,
