Heather Kavanagh Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Today, the Postie delivered:/media/tinymce_upload/c2eec0afbda6bd230525fae7610d54fe.jpgDetailing parts and transfers for my Hampden. /media/tinymce_upload/d0197977bfb53d5c0bfc9edc8fc6be4d.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/7f3dbe53349cddc0cdb33641b5cdf0a0.jpg What may become the start of a slippery slope, with some French Air Force planes that flew during the Phoney War and Battle of France. This is becoming something of a (pleasant) obsession with me. 😇 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2B Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I mentioned I got this a couple of weeks ago using my Flying Hours tokens but the box was buried deep in my stash. But I have just been listing my stash so I dug out the box for a photo opportunity.The Airfix Heinkel He111 P.2/media/tinymce_upload/f6f69213d8cd4aa621e3bb9195d1e910.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toboldlygo Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Oh bugger, I had some money sitting in my Paypal account (leftover from a very successful year of loco sales) - I've gone and brought the AEW version of the Shackleton.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pretty Mediocre Modeller Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Hope everyone had an enjoyable Christmas day.Santa's only gone and brought me the 1/72 Boeing Fortress III. Look out for a build thread coming soon (I hope!). Now, how should I do those codes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hopefully I'll be able to start a build post soon with the Me110 C/D in the 1940 Battle of France/Britain era scheme. Just need to get 1 or 2 others finished first .........

John Symmons Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Hi Heather.Looks like you're starting another of my interests with French WW2 aircraft. Unfortunately a bit thin on the ground and non-exsistent from Airfix, which is a crying shame, I think you're mainly stuck with Heller who re-issiued most of their back catalogue about two years back so should be available, together with Smer, which were the old Heller moulds. Good luck doing some of the camouflage schemes on the Morane Saulnier 406 & the Dewoitine D 520, If you can find the Portez 63.1 or 63.11 grab them as they're quite good kits and unlike most earlier Heller kits they both have a decent interior. Just a pity you can't post them here.Remember vwe do this for fun John the Pom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather Kavanagh Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Good luck doing some of the camouflage schemes on the Morane Saulnier 406 & the Dewoitine D 520 😆 I hadn't originally planned on planes from other air forces, but as my overall interest has slowly spread from strictly Battle of Britain back into the Phoney War, it seemed churlish not to include some. If nothing else, it'll make an interesting change from the British and German camouflage schemes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather Kavanagh Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 I've opted to use some aftermarket decals on my Bf110, just for a change! Watch out for the nose machine guns - they are horribly fragile, and I will have to make a new longer one because I snapped the muzzle off during handling. 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch out for the nose machine guns - they are horribly fragile, and I will have to make a new longer one because I snapped the muzzle off during handling. 🤔I shall probably stick with the kit decals as they seem pretty good, and a quick look at the instructions confirms I should be able to stick the nose cone on with white tack for spraying and then fit the MG barrels before final cementing of parts once everything is done to avoid damage. I have used the same method before and am using it on my current Mosquito build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sailorman Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 It seems I got a reward for being good ..... some months ago my nephew wanted the unbuilt Defiant which I had in my stash ....the original, old model. I gave it to him and have now bought myself the new mould kit! 😀 ........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteRoseKillie Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Got myself the new Mustang 48th for Christmas, and the 72nd Do17. Family took the hint and I received a variety of starter kits (from Aldi!) for birthday and Christmas.I've just finished a tamiya F4U1-A (with woings folded - a first for me), and am about to get started on the Dornier, with the 109 starter kit to build alongside, when time needed for paint or assemblies to dry - also handy for using up any spare RLM colours in the airbrush...

T2B Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 @ PMMI am so jealous you have got yours already, slight hic-cup with my card payment as my old 1 had expired and as I've been away for a few days I hadn't checked my account, so my Pre-Order has been delayed, but all sorted now so I should get my 2 Phantoms early next week 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Symmons Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Two Hasegawa 1/72 kits the Ki 43 Hayabusa & Ki 84 Hayate, from someone at the local IPMS was having a clear-out, also picked up a Fujima kit of the D4Y3 Judy. I've been looking for this aircraft for quite some time, Looks good in the box.Remember we do this for fun John the Pom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
