Iain Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Telford haul... Joined Cross and Cockade - so picked up three of this years' journals - really useful/inspiring content for anyone with an interest in First World War aviation: Of course Wingnut Wings were there - with some great show 'deals' - so I couldn't resist! Hannants do a 10% on orders for collection - so opportunity to get hold of some stuff I've been meaning to order for a while... For the BiG Liberator: Built a Spanish Civil War I-16 from the Special Hobby kit when it came out - but now we have the ICM kits I fancy having another go: Some decals - and seat straps for this, and the I-153 I already have: With the I-153 in mind I ordered these: Then, in a moment of serindipity, I found the Revell re-boxing of the ICM Type 24 shouting at me from the shelf at Wonderland Models - at half-price my resistance was weak: Need to get another set of straps now! From Graham at Iconicair - his superlative Seafang. Have been meaning to get one for ages... Note - if you want one, or a Spitful, I suggest you get on and place your orders. Shocked to hear that the beautiful Attacker I reviewed a few months back is now out of production - after disappointing sales. Graham tells me he'd be interested in running another batch if we can get at least ten orders together - any interest? And, finally, I've been looking for a supply of thin, straight, Nickel Silver rod for some of the biplanes I have to build. Found on the Albion Alloys stand just before show close: Sizes are: 0.1mm, 0.2mm, 0.33mm and 0.45mm - experience will dictate which is most useful - but very pleased to find these. Spent a lot - but not as much as I could have done. And I managed to avoid bying that 1:32 Buccaneer! That took a lot of will-power - but I do know someone of this Parish that did indulge... Have fun... Iain Alain Gadbois, Lothar, LSP_K2 and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alain Gadbois Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Some great deals from a good friend... Our friend François Huot passed away a year ago and left behind around 1000 kits, many started, others mint in the box. After his son and daughter took time to check all the kits and put a price on them, we went over to buy some of the large collection. The amount of great kits around was enough to make us dizzy and even with interesting prices I had to check my spending... Here's what I got today and the prices are on the boxes in Canadian dollars (about 25% less for US). Most were started kits which accounts for the apparently crazy prices, only the Bf 109F is unstarted. I know $5 for a started ZM Ta 152 is still a fantastic deal, even if I I will need to take the wings and many other parts apart. The surprise came at home when I found a lot of goodies inside the Fw and Ta Kits: I think I will call his son to mention this because our visit was meant to help the family and I think I can to a bit more in terms of $ with all those extra bits that they must have overlooked... A very good day really and a thought for our friend... Alain scvrobeson, Fanes, LSP_K2 and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennismcc Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 I went to Telford not intending to buy anything as there is nothing about that interests me at the moment, this will change with the SH Whirlwind though. pacificmustangs recent great build of the ZM P51Mustang IV though did have me thinking about buying one but only at the right price which as we were going to Telford on the Sunday did not seem likely, but when I got to the ZM stand they had two left, so for the princely sum of £85 I took one home with me.

There is a long list of small differences here and there. They have been published on LSP at various times but if you need them pm me. scvrobeson, Rick Griewski and LSP_K2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some wonderful drawings, recommended by our own Charles, but a tweak list would also be great, if there is one somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Ron Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 I've been in a bit of a ship kick lately. I've been through the real Texas several times so I bought the kit for the stash and noticed the Tamiya Yamato was on sale so bought that too. Not sure if I'll ever build them but it was a spontaneous purchase. Out2gtcha, LSP_K2, coogrfan and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted December 10, 2019 Author Share Posted December 10, 2019 A friend ordered this book, mistaking it for something else, so gave it to me. It's truly amazing the kind of wierd stuff some folks will do to set a record. Rick Griewski 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted December 10, 2019 Author Share Posted December 10, 2019 I just received these today as a gift from our own Eagle Driver, two DN Models mask sets; a 1:32 Me 262 night fighter, and a 1:48 F-21 Lion/IAI Kfir.
