Just received my first 2 brassin sets

1/32 F-104 ejection seat and 1/24 Typhoon cannons

 

Both look amazing

 

I didn't even know they made cannons for the big Typhoon. Any photos?

OK, thanks. It looks like they rely on using the kit shrouds, which is a bit of a shame, as the kit shrouds are incorrect.

I plan on building my car door version without the shrouds

 

As far as I recall, they're still incorrect, even for the un-shrouded version. Here's my review of the car door Typhoon. While they're not ridiculously incorrect, they still need some help. Of course, I'm just a bit of a Typhoon maniac, so you might take that into account as well.

Still lacking time to build models. But there is always time to buy new kits to ....errrr - collect them :whistle:

 

Something very large and heavy these days: An Atlantic wall bunker.

For size comparision:

These are 34x34 cm, or 14x14 inches.

This ist the Longues-sur-Mer battery, or at least one of the gun bunkers in 1/35. Made by Masterpiece Models in resin. There is also a fully detailled 15 cm Torpedobootskanone gun with full shields includet. Nice (and heavy!!!) kit.

FYI: Four hundred meters to the east is the site of the advanced RAF Airstrip B11 that was used from June 21st until the 4th of September. 125 Wing operated from here and included several foreign pilots including the French Ace Pierre Closterman.

Any particular reason the gun mount is offset to one side?

 

Extra part simply dropped into the pit. Everything is just dry-fitted after unwrapping the kit, no glue used. Didn't care too much about the placement of the finer details :rolleyes:

OK, thanks. Looks like it'll be a cool model to work on.

I just picked up the HpH ships catapult from a fellow LSP member. I'm thinking it's a possible soft-entry point into a full-meal resin deal later on.

Too bad I couldn't put the Walrus on top of it. Or could I?
