John Symmons Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Went to my LMS and came away with a Tamiya rattle can of white primer and oe of those multi coloured multi gradfe sanding sticks. Always ment to try them but they seemed expensive, now I've tried one I'll be getting more. Remember we do this for fun John the Pom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought Revell Contacta glue, Italeri 6094 British Light Cavalry 1815 and another Airfix A05131 1/48 Mustang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Symmons Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Hi James.You trying to save your eye-sight after the Eindecker. I see you're going up a scale. good luck with the F.2B Pity we can't see the result on this forum. Aquired some more paints on Saturday three replacement colours, two new ones and some thinners. I've been concentrating on German AFV,s recenly and finally settled on a yellow, one very good sight recommended Vallejo Middlestone which I've tried, but found it just a touch too green, while another went for Green Ochre which to me is too bright a yellow, Then I tried the next one down on the Vallejo colour chart being Japanese Uniform WW2, but again not quite what I was looking for being just a touch too dark. Finally settled on a 50/50 mix of Middlestone and Green Ochre which to me looks about right, so I mixed up a whole bottle now the original bottles needed replacing. Recently finished the Airfix Tiger will post soon. Remember we do this for fun John the Pom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toboldlygo Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 @john Symmons The F2.B will make a cameo (or two) lurking somewhere in shot with another Airfix Build (not sure what though) when I eventually build it. In the meantime I've succumbed to a kit of a very historically significant aircraft from WW2 - the one that dropped the first Atom bomb - Enola Gay.Academy 1/72nd Scale Boeing B-29A Super Fortress (Enola Gay or Bockscar)And few detail bits and decal set..Pavla Spitfire PR.XIX detailing set (wheels, exhausts, etc)SAC (Scale Aircraft Conversions) B-29A Landing Gear (white metal)Xtradecal Avro Shackleton AEW.2 decal set for every aircraft in 8 Squadron...

Cabuji1 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Hello, My latest acquisition was the new tool Wellington !!! Superb kit !!! Which brings me to this wish list: 1/72 scale new tool Vulcan and a 1/72 Buccaneer S.2 . That Wellington is by far the best on the market . You are spoiling us you know. Now that you realize that we are addicted we need that 1/72 new tool Vulcan "fix" got to have it , lol.!!! Sincerely thanks for all that you've done so far !!!!!

feanor Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Ayup... Airfix Wellington and Shackleton. Beautiful mouldings. Got two 262s and a big Hunter ordered. The new stuff’s still top notch. We need some new ships etc now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabhand Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Bought the new Mitchel, and very nice it is too. Also got an old Hasegawa Viking S3A. I like the look of this aircraft. And a FROG Vigilante - well, Hasegawa really. Big box, small [by comparison] kit. FROG issued quite a few Hasegawa kits as I recall, quite easy to spot as they are very different from 'own brand' FROG kits. At the time, pricier too. The MiG 21 was the Hasegawa kit, and I remember getting one - it had a lot of markings options, from which I chose the Iraqi finish. Happy days .....

John Symmons Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 They've finally arrived! About a year ago I ordered some Roden kits through our local LMS, and they've finally arrived. Couldn't get them all at once, OAP does't stretch that far, but did bring home the 1/72 Neiuport 24bis. Should be interesting comparing it to the Neiuport Ni 23 I got from Eduard recently. The Roden one comes in the usual end opening small box, and that is still big for such a small aircraft while the Eduard comes in a box over twice the size; go figure? The FWD WW1 lorry with cannon, the Opel Vielfachwerferauf Panzerwerfer 42 and the Opel Blitz L701 will have to wait untill the end of the month. Oh happy times! Also picked up a couple of bottles of Tamiya airbrush cleaner and acrylic thinners. Remember we do this for fun John the Pom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peebeep Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 I bought some Roden WWI kits at a show, on the cheap - sprues, no boxes. Also I have a couple each of SE5a and Bristol Fighters. They really are rather exquisite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Jones1707820337 Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Not Airfix, but just got the Eduard Profipack 1/48 Spitfire HF Mk VIII. Lovely kit, lots of detail (although the new Airfix I and Vb could probably give it a run for its money). Including the masks was a nice touch.Ordered and waiting for a new airbrush stand I can bolt to the table - no more reaching for the stands on the compressor.

T2B Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Just arrived!!
