Nice, I bought the flexi attachment for the drill and they are good. This should be great for sanding and shaping

 

[monica]

but still big and heavy in my hand and this is just right ,nice and lite,and can take a


0.5mm drill ,

Have had to put my Gato on hold for the moment, so going to have a go at my first aircraft kit (except my R/C ones) in 40+yrs.


These came today, just don't know which to start first.

Nice. I would choose the OV-10D by Kittyhawk. Better fit and it will frustrate you less. The Uhu is for a lot more experienced aircraft modellers, and the radar, undercarriage, schräge musik and props are a real mess Best to use an AM replacement for those. They are available from master, SAC and quickboost

Although I'm a late returner to plastic model planes. I have been building boats as in my S-100 & Gato threads, both have had varying degrees of plastic bashing.


I like a challenge, and the 'Owl' will have quite a few changes anyway.

I took myself into downtown Osaka today and visited a couple of model shops - M's Plus, Hobbyland and Joshin. The first two were "proper" privately owned model shops and the third was a chain shop but still an experience to behold. I bought the tools and Sea King kits in the first shop. I found a very nice fine tipped scriber and a another scriber but with a different tip.


I saw the 1/144 Sea King kits and had to buy them, they are a cheaper and easier solution to a 202 Sqn diorama I have had in mind for a long time - it means I can sell off the 1/48 Hasegawa version that will likely not get built. They were going for about £25 over here.


Hasegawa kits galore in all of the shops but in Joshin they have an entire floor dedicated to Tamiya models from all of their catalogue - and no, I didn't see their new Mosquito. Hobbyland had a glass cabinet with various models on display some of which I have added - the Caen diorama was very impressive.


I've heard that Tamiya's lemon scented glue is supposed to be highly regarded as an adhesive - is this true?
