Toboldlygo Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 A few of my Beatties Sable brushes are showing their age, so it was time for some new ones. Javis Pure Sable sizes 0, 00 & 000. Plus Some 0.9mm Styrene rod for the Shackleton AEW.2's Etched Flap kit. /media/tinymce_upload/96d1ed808044becba62827c772968cfe.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Symmons Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Hi James@john Symmons Something a little odd for me a 1/32 Wolesley Viper engine kit by Roden, and the Italeri Dornier Do 24T sea plane with upgraded moulds and decals. Was very tempted by the 1/96 Revell Cutty Sark but just managed to resist. Remember wedo this for fun Jihn the PomOnly tempted by the Cutty Sark - I think the sun's got you John 😆That being said, I couldn't resist another Airfix Lancaster - I have a B.II enroute 😎 You must be joking it's been raining here for the past week and very cold ( 7 to 15 degrees C ). Mabe if the sun does come out again that ressistenece could vanish. Picked up an Airfix Tiger tank (Why I don't know, it just caught my fancy.) and a 1/72 SPAD XIII by Revell.

Heather Kavanagh Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Well, there’s a Vickers Wellington box with my name on it at the warehouse, apparently. 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T2B Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Just arrived this week, Italeri Ju52 Transport. /media/tinymce_upload/e8a8fa19807a012556918b0055b1eef2.jpgFor a future project, to be completed as the early release of the Junkers Ju52 Ambulance during the 1939 Polish campaign./media/tinymce_upload/be0f94d88eb1887327588347efb45598.jpgAlso the Zvezda German Medical Team, Ambulance Decals and Mask Set for the Ju52. I already have a good Opel Blitz Ambulance in my stash so I might put it all together as a diorama .... ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m also likely not to use the kit decal options, if they don’t suit my 1940 theme. I'm now sitting eagerly by the window, waiting for a delivery, like an over eager puppy!

Kenneth ONeill Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Well, there’s a Vickers Wellington box with my name on it at the warehouse, apparently. 😆That's not an unacceptable amount of licence, says he who once built a kit specifically because its squadron codes put his IRL initials on the starboard side!

John Symmons Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Hi T2B I've just completed 3 of the Zvezda kits and even though they're game pieces they're really quite remarkable, and being push fit assembly, the fit really is very good. The plastic is a harder version of the soft type used by the likes of Airfix and just a awkward to paint, but the detail has to be seen to be believed. I was really very well surprised by these little kits, and feel it's something that Airfix could look to emulate. Good luck with your diorama, it's a pity you'll not be allowed to show it on this forum. Remember we do this for fun John the Pom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2B Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Thanks John and Yes the little Zvezda figure sets are very very good and you can get quite a varied selection especially in WW2 German and Soviet themes. I have a few in my stash and have completed the German Winter Set and dispite being fiddly to paint look awesome when finished! And yes I agree Airfix need to update their figure range!Maybe if I include something Airfix I'll be able to post it finished on the diorama thread, without doing a full build post?

David Jones1707820337 Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 You know there has been "outrage" in the Twit-o-sphere about that particular kit? (and not because it had the wrong type of 30mm cannon 😆) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toboldlygo Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Yep, mine arrived yesterday afternoon, I had a good look at it late last night (after getting in from work)It looks as though it will be an amazing build (no short mouldings by the looks of it). /media/tinymce_upload/46d5e5845b40e6577da49d09e42830a3.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2B Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 A quick study of the instructions last night when I opened mine shows an awesome amount of interior detail, so I will have to try research what most fittings etc are so I can paint and detail them correctly. Though on this occasion Airfix have highlighted several interior parts that aren't essential and may not be seen on the completed model, giving the modeller the option to omit these parts if so desired!!

Full credit to the design team on nailing the geodesic structure in the moldings too. I wonder if anyone will attempt to do a fabric off version?
