Shawn M Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 after the death of my old car (RIP) I had to get a new one. Bought an 18' Mazda 3 Sport Hatch. Just finished the lowering springs on it over the weekend modelling related, traded my ERTL XB-70 for an Academy DAP Blackhawk and a MPC 1/24 FW-190 kit scvrobeson, BloorwestSiR, Out2gtcha and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scvrobeson Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 (edited) It's been a busy few weeks here, as I've gotten a few things that I've been pining after for awhile. Finally found some good deals, and grabbed something that I definitely wanted in terms of the Clerget Been hunting for a Pup for a long time to do an early plane for Raymond Collishaw, just need to get a couple custom decals for the serial numbers. The Tempest was on deep sale at my LHS, so grabbed it for $40, marked down by $95. The Taurus Clerget might be the most incredible kit I have ever seen in my life. And it is definitely appropriate to call it a kit, since it comes with 260 parts. It was pricey at $80, but I think it's worth it, and it will sit on the front of my eventual WNW Triplane.

mozart Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 I've recently completed a model of a Bf110E (G9+L(Ludwig) N(ordpol) as flown by Heinz Schnaufer in his early days with NJG1: But I also saw some artwork by Ron Cole of the Bf110 plus a piece of the actual aircraft which was salvaged in 2006: The fragment is 4.5 inches by 3.0 inches and fortunately had become detached from the glass in its long journey from the US to England, fortunately because I was able to see the RLM02 finish on the reverse side! I'd like to find some way of being able to see both sides, as a researcher as well as a modeller this type of thing fascinates me.

I attended Telford in 2008 when he and Rod Mackenzie launched the "Nachtjagd War Diaries", Peter Spoden and Rolf Ebhardt (retired Nachjager) were also there. So my copies were signed by all four and are still used as reference books very frequently. Theo is now bringing out the second edition of the NJWD, published by Red Kite and called the "Nachtjagd Combat Archive". Each volume, of which 3 have so far been published, deals with a shorter time frame than the previous NJWD and in many senses is more detailed because more information has come to light as a result of the first editions. A good addition to my library. I don't have the book you've mentioned, I'll have to look into it!

Out2gtcha Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Didn't get that much at the NATs, but I did manage to get a Sufa for $100. Plus an exhaust set, wheel set and gear bays. I also somehow managed to get it ALL in the same suitcase that I came with that was generally full when I CAME here! The Scotch blood in me would NOT allow me to spend the nearly $45 to ship it back home. scvrobeson and Rick Griewski 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
