Nice! I am hoping that a decal sheet is produced for the third sharkmouth. I already have these markings for my Eduard 48th scale kits.

Yes, that caught my eye also. Now all I have to do is figure if the kit I have will be okay. I see a new kit is out and it is German Trams. And with Ians Battle blog I should have no problem getting inspiration for these sets.

Great scores James!! that dragon gun crew looks awesome

And is there a Berlin -45 dio coming up?

I picked up these friday when we went to Brugge for a miniweekend (visited 3 hobbystores )

first my Pz 38 that will be transformed into a Swedish M/41, it even had the correct rearwheels with for the swedish version (round holes instead of oval)

This one is new for me and i will give it a try, anyone tried it?

The Evergreen assortment grew a little bit to, i like these longer profiles but there is only this store that carries them what i know of here in Belgium

Photografs nice for a diorama

This is a nice one to

Also picked up some vallejo paints

Nice Matts. How is the Motorcycle kit?
I got the Retarder last year. Never heard of it before that. I dont know if I used too much or used it wrong, but I (in my mind) ruined my Fokker DVII 7 Swabians. I would highly suggest using it on scrap first to get the feel of it. Maybe it is only for making Tamiya paints brush paintable?

So long since I bought a kit.... Anyhoos, here's my belated birthday present to myself....

Yep, thought I'd take a different route to most other folk and do the recce version . To make it easier, (or perhaps harder :hmmm ), I got this from the excellent New Plymouth library this afternoon:

Over 700 pages of MiG 21 lore. Going to be an interesting build/project, later in the year.

Yeah, crossed one off the short list with this one, 1/72 BAC 111. Will be done in either Mohawk or American Airlines livery :yipee

Man I remember them screaching in and out of Liverpool Airport (along with the even more shrill Viscounts and Fokker Friendships).... I swear those 1-11's were as loud as the BAC/EE Lightnings that they built up the road in Preston !!

Ian you're going to need an F4 to balance that Mig

 

[Gator]

Or a Crusader.

I have both, and a Thud and an F-5A and no I'm not building any 1:48 'Dogfight Doubles' (Anybody else remember those ??). This will probably end-up in Syrian colours like my MiG 17, or maybe Iraqi... Not sure just yet.

What I am hugely impressed with is what comes in the box.... There's acres of plastic some of the parts so small you need a magnifying glass to see them (mostly tiny intakes and such peculiar to particular variants). It wont be hitting the bench anytime soon, but when it does it's going to be another BIG project - not in size but in concentration & effort !!

It has been a while since I actually bought something, other than paint etc.

But when I finally decided to get off my butt and start building again, I realized that I needed something better than my point n' shoot... I have a friend who found this for me with a macro and telescopic lens... as well as the regular lens

Acquired over the last couple of weeks.

A flock of Harriers.

Hurricane I & IIc

Hercules. Unfortunately it came from Italeri with two Sprue D's (LH Fuselage and Upper Wings) and no Sprue C (RH fuselage and Lower Wings). E-mails are out to get the missing sprue.
