T2B Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 My latest additions thanks to some Xmas Cash Stash 😉 First ordered were some Eduard Brassin detail parts for my Curtiss Tomahawk Mk.II that is currently on the build table./media/tinymce_upload/8fd006742dd78c52330c849cc65ca42a.JPGI had also ordered an Eduard Seatbelt set but they have yet to arrive?. Some aftermarket decals were next./media/tinymce_upload/850616658dfc3c584a105cddf771a9c1.JPGNow for the interesting bit, a couple of new models .........../media/tinymce_upload/194885e6f17b9e021682e7e483eb3962.JPG I've got a thing for Tomahawks at the moment, and the different colour schemes they can be done in./media/tinymce_upload/1655566ff6fa2dd1f5dceea533a5eba4.JPGOh is that another P-40 in a different set of clothes?/media/tinymce_upload/3b60f3a41bb6a1bd90ba7e4076f49a1a.JPGThe Bf109 E-3/E-4 adds to my small but growing 1:48th scale collection. And finally ................./media/tinymce_upload/aed04b15c3eae31091172ec2a21e7371.JPGIt was 4 kits in 1 box and a bargain really. Where am I going to find the space to do this diorama??

John Symmons Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Did my rounds to our LMS's, the original idea was to get some new paints. Came home with 3 new Vallejo colours, four scaple blades, (These seem to be getting hard to find in Cape Town looks like I'll have to find a medical supplier and buy a whole box.) and 2 sheets of Decal Paper. Also picked up 3 Zvezda kits all 1/72 armour the BMW motor cycle & side car (Made this last year, superb little kit; but that one's now stuck on a diorama.), a Soviet 37 mm AA gun and a British Bofors 4o mm AA gun to go with my growing collection of artillary. Also tempted by a couple of old Revell 1930's fighters the P26 Peashooter and the Polikarpov I-153 Chaika. I know the P26 dates from the 60's but it still looks pretty good; maybe Revell are taking really good care of their old moulds. The Chaika looks more recent maybe 80's-ish as the detail is recessed and raised and the sprues have a frame arond them. I seem to be getting an interest in these pre WW 2 aircraft, after my recent fasination with WW 1 types.These should look good next to the re-released Bulldog and Demon, and my few Heller 1930's aircraft kits.

peebeep Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 The Chaika is ICM tooling and was first released by them in 2014. I quite fancy the most recent ICM boxing with skis and a finnish scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Symmons Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Thanks Paul for the heads-up on the Chaika. Yes; the Finnish one does sound interesting. Remember we do this for fun John the Pom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogsbody Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I just picked this up at a local shop that deals mostly with gamers and the like. They recently moved locations and I was downtown with some time to kill, so I went in. I knew they had some Warhammer kits, but I didn't know the had mainstream kits. They also have some Tamiya paint and some other Tamiya modelling paraphernalia. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeonF Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 A successful weekend. First I found a Revell 1/72 Tornado GR1 in a charity shop. After pondering for a few seconds I decided to donate £3.99 to BHF as a thank you - everyone wins! Then down to the market where I liberated a couple of pre-owned kits - Airfix 1/72 Roland C.II & Albatros DV.I simply couldn't resist the simple but very attractive late 80's 'Aces' boxart. The plastic may not be state of the art but they are still very buildable subjects (if I ever get around to them!). Didn't even make it to the Hobby Shop. Might have to exchange peenies for paint later in the week to keep everyone happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeonF Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Italeri 1/35 M110A1 Howitzer. Been after one for a while but they rarely show up as they don't have the street cred of the Tiger, Sherman, Abrams etc and I believe only Italeri have dipped their toes in the family so far. Doubly happy that it's a short barrel version as the A1 only had one box release many moons ago. The wishlist never gets any shorter though as I'm also after a Vietnam era M110(sans suffix)...one day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeonF Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 My sole aim at the weekend was to buy a Revell M48 to sit next to the Tamiya M60 on the shelf. But I sort of got distracted... 1/72 Airfix F-86F 'The Huff'...for the #2 Italian decal option1/72 Airfix Tomahawk IIB 'Pennant' box And to compound matters on the way home I donated some pennies to a Charity for another 1/72 Airfix Tomahawk IIB, this time a 'Sharkmouth' starter box. So I still haven't completed that tank pairing. But I do now have 4x P-40B/Tomahawk/Hawk 81s in the stash to add to the P-40(sans suffix) trainer conversion I have on the shelf. Maybe next week....

Toboldlygo Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Technically not an acquisition, but a commission for one of my Railway Clients - a rather big ship, 1/72nd Scale Flower Class Corvette arrived and a freebie for my stash a very old Airfix Short Stirling he's given me - the box is a bit battered but the contents are still sealed.. .. may well do a captured colour & decal scheme on it.. /media/tinymce_upload/1b4b9d348c30ab8138922d4e65c0210a.jpg Other acquisitions have been, new bottles of Micro Sol & Micro Set, more upgrades for the Challenger 2 (wheels and suspension) and couple Pilot fine silver & gold paint pens. Speaking of the Challenger 2, what's the Humbrol colour number for the Desert Sand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
