I think maybe I need to invest in a proper bending tool ....... John has one in the shop.

This is what I use for larger PE, I like that I can lock a piece down giving me both hands free, sadly can't see any online to buy now

I bought mine from John, Scale model shop

 

[takeslousyphotos]

I just got this too, mine will be in NV colours to match both Da Nang F4's. I've been using eduard PE on an A10A and it is going to plan so far without a bending tool - mind you, the bending pliers might be useful.

I`m not sure yet what finish I will doing mine in yet Neil. But it has definitely jumped the queue over the other kit I had planned. I just wish the damn postman would get his act together and deliver it.

Not normaly my thing but at £4 i thought what the hell. View attachment 120695

BARGAIN. I`'ll look forward to seeing what you do with it Peter.

Just so long as it doesn't arrive the same way parcelforce delivered mine!

Luckily, these two little gems appear to be intact and good (well, little might be stretching things a bit) - despite the box being soaked and both model boxes being wet - good thing Eduard put everything in plastic sleeves!

It's not just a plain white box, but a MIG-21R direct from Eduard from their over trees excess mouldings.

[john i am]

Sure

I bought one of those the other week for a tenner and I thought I'd got a bargain but £4 that's a really good bargain

I have one of these somewhere we could have a mini group build

 

[PhilJ]

I just bought me one of these .......... I don't normally go much on aircraft but, I saw this and thought I'd give it a go. There is some PE in it (which I hate) but it doesn't look too complex so I'll probably manage.

Was looking at this today aswell funny enough, I can vouch for Eduard PE looking at buying a bending tool myself

Did that work out cheaper then? If so how did you go about getting your hands on it?

It was £21.90 in total. I bought it direct from their website during their VE Day promotion so got an additional discount. I bought the etched brass in the promotion too. The drawback is that there are no decals or instructions but you can download the instructions from their website and after market decals are easily found, in fact I have a Profipack Mig-21 with five different markings so I just need a set of stencil decals from Eduard.


Search their site for overtrees on their site, they have excess mouldings on production runs on lots of different models.

Well it's been quite a day , the Torbay model show had everything from stormtroopers to some very scantily clad lady Jedi and a punch up between a youth and a taxi driver ( that was over the road though not in the show )


And here is the haul ( for once I got what I wanted but had to pay for it , good job I made £60 on kits I sold )
