Just preordered the Eduard Royal Class 1/72 P-51 Dual Combo. I've procrastinated with the Royal Class boxing enough and finally broke down and did it I keep looking at those on eBay....nearly won one in an auction... Looking very nice indeed!!

Been trying to get this kit for a while now, just refuse to pay $100 which it is regularly listed for. Scored it for $68 which is still too expensive but much more reasonable. I also bought this a while ago for the eventual purchase of the above kit! Liberty Walk Wide body kit

Duke, I gotto go check my stash! Except for the 172 all those kits you bought are there. I sold one of the 727's last year for near $200 and still have another. Hoping some 3d printed engines come around for it, the resin engines in the kit are too small. A quick scan and print would fix that!
LOL! Unless someone stole them from your stash to sell in San Diego, I think I'm safe! I Have been looking for that 727 for awhile; thank God I finally found one. I wouldn't mind getting another and making it with Air Force One markings.

I’ll get some pics in a day or two. The 1/35 CH-47 Chinook arrived from China. My goodness she is a big girl. Lordy! Also had the Quinta set for same arrived today. I had already bought the Eduard PE set as I couldn’t find the Quinta set until a few days ago. A quick look inside the box is typical Trumpeter, I think. Things boxed separately, etc. also a PE set! Gonna be the most expensive model I’ve attempted!

One I'd like to build one day but not at triple digit prices for sure. Nice score.

Good morning all So a few arrivals over the past week or so from a range of sources, most arrived today from one supplier. ATB Andrew ---------------------------------------------- The crew is for the AFV Club 20mm AA gun I recently acquired at knockdown price It was Father's day here in the UK on Sunday and so I got these from the kids.....the book obviously has a connection to our hobby and the sweet treats are of course important sustenance for a long modelling session .....oh and most of them are still to be eaten!!

Just picked his up whilst dropping my daughter at work.....as my very old Humbrol one had set in the bottle. Thanks to a voucher from the hobby chain in question, at only £5 is sooooooo much cheaper than the 'proper' modelling stuff (1/3 cheaper than the cheapest delivered Humbrol offering), even though it smells exactly the same as the Humbrol offering and so I assume is fundamentally the same stuff.

ATB Andrew Oh I would be very interested in how well this works. I currently use (or at least attempt to use) the Microscale liquid mask but since it is so thick it can be very difficult to control where it goes.

About the same consistency as airbrush ready paints, if not thinner..... Well try to have a play later for you.

Another addition to the stash,I have never built a Leopard before If it is anything like the A6 Tamiya put out years ago it will be an excellent kit Tony. I have a Meng A72 hiding in my stash however that Tamiya A6 left a very good taste in my modeling mouth.

Ok chaps....so you had better sit down...... I think it goes without saying that we all agree that 1/72 is the one and only true modelling scale despite occasional dalliances with other scales! However, one of the mods on the Brit forum I am on and I have struck up a good friendship and over a number of years he has been trying to corrupt me to dabble with larger scaled wingy things, eventually getting me to dabble with 1/48 as you may have seen. Well it seems he has finally corrupted me on getting something larger.....perhaps it was his ultimate plan all along, as he is having a stash clear out and I found myself agreeing to take the below off his hands for a reasonable price..... ......that's right.... .....it's 1/32!! And is it big or what!! I think I need to practice on some 1/48 wingy things before giving this a crack! I think I need to go and lie down to get over the shock! ATB Andrew

These are two old Revell kits. Did you know that the first product with Revell's name was a plastic ladies compact? This one is tiny. And older than me. The copyright stamp on the bottom of the body says, Crowland and Crowland, (c) 1951. OH, I've already gotten six calls about the extended warranty.

ATB Andrew You shouldn't fear Andrew, even in 32nd the Spit is a small...ish plane. Heard good things about this issue. Thanks Perry. I read some reviews about this before I took it off my friend's hands and whilst it may not be the absolute best 1/32 Spitfire out there, for it's price, it gets very good reviews. The only downside are the wheels but I could get some AM ones. ATB Andrew

Now that would have been an excellent suggestion 10 minutes ago..........but I have literally just pressed buy on some resin wheels....they mysteriously fell into the basket when I was buying some canopy masks!

Ok, chaps....so a few more arrivals today, as below. ATB Andrew ----------------------------- First up some o-rings for the nozzle for my 0.2mm Tamiya Superfine AB - which is either a rebadged Iwata or at least shares many common parts. The o-ring had got deformed and was getting squashed out flat as I put the nozzle back in and so creating a less that perfect seal. Trouble is Iwata only do seals with a nozzle - which is very expensive - and so some enterprising British company is doing their own compatible o-ring. You can get 8 o-rings for the price of one my nozzles, so I bought three.....as you can see below, the old nozzle was looking very squashed and I now get a perfect seal. Not big are they?!?! Old vs new I am really liking Tamiya's 1/48 AFV range and found these for sale for what was already a very good price, with another 10% off on top if you signed up to the shop's newsletter. The M8 Howitzer and M4A3E8 are actually a new thing for me. Whilst I have built plenty of US WW2 vehicles they have always been ones in British service e.g. Shermans and M5s (of both types), and so these are the first 'pure' US vehicles I have ever bought.
