I have this sheet, I used it for the Raspberry Ripple GB a while back. There are lots of options but I like the 151 Sqn markings.

1/50 is an unusual scale.

Well I can't believe my luck, I do look in on my local charity shop just to see if there's any kits. But I don't normally find anything. So you can understand my supprise when I found this.

I know Tony that's why I ran out of the shop. And all the bags are sealed in the box. I'll get some photos on later, I'm thinking of building it in the helicopter GB after the Tornados finished.

I just got a slew of aftermarket for my Eduard 1/48 Fw 190A-7 Profipack I got recently. I plan to do a super detailed build on it, with full open engines, flaps, gun bays and cockpit.
This will be for the Focke Wulf Kurt tank GB at the end of the year
Lots of resin and PE!

It's still a decent sized kit to work with and the surface details looks very good plus lots of different markings.

Afternoon all,
Had a browse round the scale model shop and couldn’t leave empty handed.

A snap at the price and reasonable postage price.
Looking forward to a quick build

Si .
Looks a nice kit, of course being Tamiya you wouldn't expect anything to be amiss .Are you going to do a blog. Can we do that on here? Save me a front seat. It's Steve's turn to bring the biscuits .
John

 

[Si Benson]

Hey John,
Don’t eat them biscuits Steve brings, they got some weird herbs in them....seem to make you hungrier too?!
I’m sure a blog is acceptable, please correcting me if I’m wrong?
Here is a place to post I think Link....
I’m going to finish the Marder III I’ve just stared. I’ll start a thread when I get some more done, I’ll take pics to show everyone

whit what these,s are made from,acetone ,will not smooth them out,there is some thing,
but not to,sure what it is to use,and is meant to be quite nasty as well,:astonished: so I,will keep away from it I,think,
so will have horizontal lines showing,that i could real do with out,but can live with it,:smirk:

 

[Si Benson]

Hi Monica,
Interesting figures, would love to see them with some paint on. With regards to the horizontal lines, can they not be sanded out at all?

Hi John
Very interested to see this build. I am not really a wingy thing builder but bought The Eduard Profipak 1/48 Spitfire at Cosford and so following this would give me many tips and ideas I'm sure.
