Nice bargains andy, weve got to promise to stay off it now!! Richy ,thats a great find , mint condition, although like you i wouldnt trust the decals,-if you can get em easy enough ,i'd use new ones! Im with you on the reading glasses ,i use +1 all the time, as well as the magnifier, but i got mine from poundland! tony

I got a job lot from evil-bay.I've just had a chunk of work cancelled,the joys of self employment,so I might get a chance to knock a few out whilst I line something else up!

I'll be back for some advice on Italian colours!

Cheers

Steve

I just got one of these from ebay..... surprised to see that it screws together. Still, very cheap and should be a bit of fun.

 

[BarryW]

Well, I have been a bit rash and had a spend-up....

Decided to just get the kits that I have identified I want to add to my stash....

First got the Eduard Bf109 Balkans from John then ordered on the same day these as John does not have them.... (naturally John's arrived days earlier!!)

Spent around £300 on models this week and now have 10 in my stash not including the one nearly finished, 2 1:48's and the rest 1:32's....

But, that is it.... no more until I have made a dent in this lot, well....unless that is a Hurri or Sea Fury gets released in 1:32 that I really must have or, well - that 1:48 Black Widow!!! No I really must not or bankruptcy becons...

Paint order just sent in to John...... whoooooo, I am not normally this extravagant.

Sorry about the pic quality - hand must have been shaking!

I am building up a bit of a stash, i just keep looking and see things i like hehe. This telford show wont help either!

 

[BarryW]

mmm, I better stay away from that one, mind 4 hours driving to get there for me at least means its not that tempting.....

 

[Vaughan]

Barry very nice additions to your stash.

Slowly building up my materials. With P&P this little lot came in at just over 30 smackers. I withstood the temptation to buy those Mig pigments for so long, but it was futile............

P.S. Panzer Aces 'light rubber' is no good for worn-looking tyres ; )

This one will be fun! Always wanted to build a U-boat. Lots of scope for weathering, too!

Hasegawa 1/32 Mitsubishi J2M3 Raiden (Jack) Type 21

Just Bought this from Modelzone(it's a Christmas pressie from the Mother-in-Law so I won't be starting this one just yet). This one's a little different, not your normal run-of-the-mill Japanese fighter plane. So I think it will be an interesting built.

[Guest]

Just got back from a 100 mile round trip to pick these up and now opening a beer , I feel like its christmas day already , I got a bargin that comes round once in a blue moon and for some people never , won these off eBay but was pick up only for the grand sum of £81

Job lot of - 4 x 1/12 tamiya F1 cars complete and untouched , these kits are over 30 years old so will get new decals as and when needed , they normaly sell at between £50-£80 each , also a few scrapyard F1 cars ( shown ) and other bits ( not shown ) that will get binned or moved on , I`ve seen these scrapyard bits getting sold on eBay before, one mans rubbish is another mans treasure as the saying goes.

HAPPY DAYS

Nice one Richard. Some great stuff there.

One of the scrap yard cars, the Matra F1 is as rare as rocking horse .... you would be wise to try and save that one. I have been after one for years and never seen one in Europe for under 150 quid!!!

[Gern]

Nowhere near as good a bargain as Richy but I got some good deals for some of these.

Gern

PS The 1/48 stuff does not mean I've gone over to the dark side! I just thought they'd go well with my Tamiya Lanc - if ever I get round to actually building something of course!

Well i'm back at the bench, and i'm back with a vengeance. As you can see i got a few things to keep me going, i would of posted the Sturmgeschütz Sd Kfz. 167 but the batteries in my camera went flat.

Have fun, John

Bought these at the Telford show today.The HS129 is one i've made before many years ago and cost a tenner.The HS123 was £15 and looks a good little kit.And the Tempest kit includes PE,Masks and resin parts.Have wanted one of these for years and missed the first reissue when it came out a couple of months ago.
