Ratch Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 You should always factor postage in to the price. Decide what you are prepared to pay and stick to it. Sometimes you have to play the long game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2B Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 @ Ratch Yeah that's usually what I do! I like to try and support my LMS when I can but my nearest 1 is 15 miles in my away in my gas guzzler and their model selection is not vast as they concentrate on railway stuff, lovely but not my thing. Hence the internet and a certain auction site comes in very handy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailorman Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 A Maxx pullout saw blade 5 inch long with 24 teeth / inch. It fits snuggly into one of the handles in my good old Humbrol Muticraft Tool set. It will come in useful for separating parts from the sprues. The connections seem to be somewhat thicker on the new kits. I'm not sure why this is so but I suspect these are required in order to obtain better flow within the moulds.

rafale Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I went to my local model shop a few days ago and bought the new 1/48 Hawker Sea Fury. I think it's a great model and a gorgeous aircraft. I've ordered to my local model shop too an Airfix 1/48 Hawker Hurricane mk 1 Tropical and a AFV Club 1/35 M 35 A2 Cargo Truck.

peebeep Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Hasegawa 1/72 Crusader Mk. III If you're doing an online search it's worth typing in 'Revell' to the search engine, because they re-boxed this kit and you can pick them up dirt cheap.

Heather Kavanagh Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 /media/tinymce_upload/be5bb2bab327e3f9a794d271cdbb488c.jpg A model shop opened in Rochester, Kent, a couple of years ago. Today was the first chance I've had to visit it, although I have heard good things about it. I came away with this box for my 1940 Air War collection. The shop is a proper old school one, with all kinds of models in all kinds of scales and interests, paints, adhesives, modelling materials of all kinds. The shelves with the plastic kit boxes are properly random, with new boxes next to second-hand boxes and some real oddities. I nearly bought a Revell FW Condor, but it was for a later variant than I would prefer. Anyway, the Deowitine is a five-minute build with about twelve parts in it. The time will be taken up painting the beggar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Symmons Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Hi HeatherSee you're continuing with your new found interest, the French Air Force. this could be the old Heller mould in a new box. Hobby-Boss also did the D-520 also with very few parts and with the wing and lower fuselarge moulded as one peice. Good luck withb the painting, I take it you're not going to try the one with the red and yellow nose, pity you can't show it on this forum unless you can sneak it in with some Huricans or Blemhiems seving in France in 1940.Remember we do this for fun John the Pom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
