Holy s**t, I just saw the price

Yeah...I coughed a little! But was better than the full price by about $130

Took a punt on one of these kits a few weeks back. An aftermarket cockpit and wheels look to be in order some time in the future. Beautiful decal sheet but not the options I want to put on it. It certainly occupies a fair chunk of real estate.

Steve that's going to be a 'vast' build, good luck sir.

Been chatting with a modelling buddy from Brazil recently and discussing potential Luftwaffe builds. I was very impressed with an 1:48 ICM Hs126 he recently finished and seriously considered investing in one... in the end and after a shed-load of reading reviews and watching YT builds, I decided to buy this instead:

Kit schemes are all 70/71/65 with variations in yellow theatre marks, I also have a Kagero sheet with a beautiful North Africa scheme so as yet... undecided. There's so much quality in the (sturdy) ICM box that the only AM needed is a set of belts and masks which I've bought. This'll be my BIG Spring project like the BAC Lightning was last year.


Best from the 'Naki.


Ian.

No kitset purchases to report, but I have been wanting to get these Molotow chrome markers for ages now and they're on special at Gordon Harris at the mo.

I bought the 1mm & 2mm pens which I think are going to come in handy for painting small details, undercarriage oleos etc

Can't remember who it was that posted these cutting guides but they looked interesting so I thought I'd get some, along with yet another book on modelling and some sanding pads.
The sanding pads are by the same company that makes the cutting guides and I have some of their other pads which I just love to use.
The book is good, not quite what I thought it would be as it deals primarly with building the miniart buildings, it is still a good reference guide which I'm sure I'll be using at some point as I have a number of these buildings in the stash.

Been after something like these 2 for a while and the molding is pretty crisp and detailed. Also looking forward to Takom doing the russian Kashtan CIWS soon too.

Wow those are cool Gary! Would love to see it built up

I finally got my hands on one of these kits. I have been waiting for stock to come back into NZ, which looks like it won't be for a while, so I ended up getting it from Hobbyeasy.

Found thjs nice little addition at the LHS.

$51.00 is close to what I'd shell out for anything online.
I consider that a victory.

How to make buildings. I was interested in this and read a review. It said it was Miniart buildings so I didnt buy it. There is another book out that may be more what you are after. From AK Interactive. BNA don't have it yet. Available from AKs website.

Finally.
33 yrs since I snagged a Matchbox SBD-5 ( 1:32nd ) the engine arrived.

Pulled the trigger on a Vector Resin Wright 1820-G, from Sprue Bros.

All found . . . NZ$75.00. And it arrived in 10 days.
A single engine. Pure resin jewellery, though.

But les Frères Sprue are giving away trinkets, so I scored a n-i-c-e 3000-grit sanding stick.

Still have a second SBD-5 needs some engine TLC.
Hoping to find another Vector s/what cheaper.

Regards

A sentimental favourite turned up today to join my Shack family. One of these days I'll have to do a group build of them all.

A rare addition.

Found it early this month, online for US$39.00.
That's NZ$51.00.

The vendor doesn't ship outside the Yew Ess, so I signed up for one of they "on-shipping" gigs.
All up, about US$23.00 S&H. As opposed to s/thing like $35.00 via USPS.

I'm sold. In a manner of speaking.

Blew me away, scoring a Classic Airframes. The FB 5/9 is currently US$85.00 minimum asking, Evilbay.

One is suitably content.

Regards

Managed to get 1st in 1/48 single-engine prop at the Nats, and for my troubles landed this, Cyber Hobby 1/72 F6F-3 Hellcat 30th Anniversary of Dragon limited edition kit. Comes with extra photo etch interior set from Platz, and there was a nice surprise inside the box - a 10% discount voucher for HLJ as they sponsored some

Not a kit but it was on sale at Mighty Ape, and is something to build in front of the tv on Sunday while watching Bathurst.
