Stokey Pete Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Does this view invoke feelings of jealousy? In some, maybe in others, a cold sweat. What am Iooking at? I hear asked. No stash, and fully filled shelves. Shoggz, Uncarina, scvrobeson and 12 others 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoggz Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Quite an innocuous looking box - but it contains something exciting - the new 1:32 Spitfire Mk.XII conversion from the wizard Mathieu at Laminar Flow! And, as I only ordered it at on Monday, that's exceptional service and delivery time. scvrobeson, Tolga ULGUR, BloorwestSiR and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furie Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 But what are you waiting for to open this box, Richard ?!!? Show us that set ! Troy Molitor, BloorwestSiR and Rick Griewski 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Griewski Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Mr. Stokey Pete caused not jealousy but a nostalgic sigh from me. When I was a kid I had many built models on the shelf and a big stash at my LHS to choose from. Always a big day searching for a new kit.

Even Marie Kondo has a kit stash and if she says doesn’t, well she’s just a big fibber.

Shoggz Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 It's like a Russian doll! It really is packed beautifully - it looks quite a bit simpler than the Mk.XIV conversions - for pretty obvious reasons - the Mk.XII was closer to the Merlin 60 series Spitfires than the later more defined XIV and it indeed was usually a conversion from a Mk.VIII or IX in reality anyway!

dennismcc Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 That looks fantastic, the XII for me combines the best of the early marks with that powerful, very large nose, if I did not have a Paragon version on my shelf already I'd be ordering one as well. Enjoy. Cheers Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_K2 Posted March 30 Author Share Posted March 30 Two new kits, both gifts from fellow LSP mates. Beautiful AM Avenger, and the great Hasegawa Tony. The first is from a member that will remain anonymous unless I hear different, the second is from Ruben (Firefly7). I had built the Tony before, but really hosed it up, so had been wanting another for a while. Thanks a ton fellas, great gestures from you two, and both kits are very much appreciated.

LSP_Mike Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Similar: just got in Fw 190a8 & Kotare Spitfire, both from Pete. A very good FW and a top of the mark Spitty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denders Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Today, besides being Easter, it is the anniversary of another trip around the sun. I got it from SB at a discount because of the box damage. It's a BIG box. I asked my 4 yr. old grandson if he'd carry it upstairs for me. He grabbed it, lifted it, and said then said I needed to take it. Of course, you've already guessed it, I bought it, I wrapped it, etc. I was planning on purchasing the Kate model anyway, so when this showed up for a discount, I thought about it, and after a few hours, why not. I need to look at the figures kit, I'm thinking it may take several of those to make it look good. dutik, Hartmann352, scvrobeson and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
