LSP_K2 Posted January 2, 2020 Author Share Posted January 2, 2020 This also arrived today, the latest "Building the" book from Ray at Albatros Productions. While I generally never buy this sort of publication, I have no problem at all receiving them as freebies, and am slowly amassing quite a stack now, so all is good. I'll be popping off a review shortly. Lothar, Trak-Tor, Uncarina and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trak-Tor Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 (edited) Not that this is something to be jealous about, but I haven't find a better thread to put it in and didn't want to create a new one. So, I haven't done much when it comes to modeling during the winter break as we were away from home most of the time. But still I have managed to find something interesting, by an accident: And the weathered colors on the tips were interesting: Cheers.

LSP_K2 Posted January 9, 2020 Author Share Posted January 9, 2020 And yet another double. (I'm really getting tired of this.) While I at one time kept an extensive and up-to-date Excel list of my books, I've neglected it over the years, so really have no idea what I do and do not have any more, leading directly to these double (and sometimes triple) book purchases. On the plus side, my roommate is making out like a bandit, as I give him all of my doubles, including this one. Dany Boy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ade rowlands Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 (edited) well whilst it won’t excite many to me it’s confirmation that I’m back within the 1/32 fold after selling most of my prior stash and dabbling with 1/48. Whilst I did complete a couple of 1/48 jets I just couldn’t get used to the smaller size pieces after so long in larger scales. These join the 3 kits I’d kept back, 2 Tamiya Spitfires and the Tamiya Mosquito. There’s a Tamiya A6M2 literally on the slow boat from China. I was going to put a cap limit if 10 kits on my new stash but the FW 190 for £20 and the 2 Revell 109’s for £16 each had to be purchased now. The FW will be a regular A-8, the 109’s will be long term stash queens until Amur Reaver bring out their G-6 corrections again which they confirmed they plan to do but no time frame at the moment when I asked. Though 1 may get one of the AIMs early G mod sets. We shall see. The HGW 109E will be a Battle of Britain 109E-4 when it gets done. The price was a little steep but the Cyber Hobby kit is getting thin on the ground and costs in the £40-£50 range anyway so add the resin exhausts, yahu panel, HGW belts and rivet set and it probably costs the same so I went for it. Not sure how limited of a limited edition it is but thought best not dither and went for it. Have kept a few 1/48 jets as distraction builds.

ade rowlands Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 (edited) Added a Tamiya F4U-1A to the above pile this morning. Hoping I didn’t sell the Dana Bell Corsair book when I sold off my F4U-1D last year. Have a feeling I did. I had a lot of scribbled notes in there. Now what to do about the landing lamp on the lower wing. Anyone know from what Bureau number onwards it was deleted? From memory the F4U-1D lower wing part has no landing lamp but there’s the rocket stub details that would need removing there so deleting it on this kit or ordering the F4U-1D lower wing parts both mean sanding away some nice surface detail which I know I won’t be able to restore. Found my book and my notes. Light was deleted from Bureau Number 56266 and FG (Goodyear production numbers?) 76140.

AlexM Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 After a long search, I finally got this from an italian seller via Ebay. Price was not cheap, but just about acceptable. While most three-engined planes don't look too sexy in my eyes, I find this one pretty hot Alex Kagemusha and jimbo 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian, I suspect the Eddie pilots are none other than the British Pilots released by ICM with new heads (Sgt Smith in Max’s Gladiator).

Artful69 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 The Hs.129B-2 Finally arrived at one of my local (Australian) hobby stores ... So ... having it sent, along with a couple of other ZM kits they held back for me - It arrived at the post office a day or two ago. I'd like to say that I'm now up to date with the entire 1/32 ZM collection ... except they sneakily tucked another couple of Skyraider kits in before the first of the Hs.129 kits. Never mind ... as soon as those rock up to one of my other suppliers ... I'll be sorted ...
