Latest Acquisitions Revisited!

[wds]

From Spru Bros.
The Sherman was $17.50. Not bad with the figures. It looks like a good kit. I may get some other decals for it.
I ordered some Tamiya flat white from them, but they sent me the gloss, which I had already picked up locally. ARG!
I guess I'll be using the X-21 (flat base) for a while.

A little dab will do you,

Bill

Nice set! ^^

I just got this.... well two of them for my H...

But no caps? Are these Paache caps standard? Or do I need to find something specific for this cup? CR

This came today. Some Valejo primers, Z-31 to keep Z-39 company, and a gun and truck to kit bash into a Maultier.

Those are std cups from the VL and VL-S. they dont have caps.

Thanks Paddy- I used one last night and realized paint doesnt slop around inside. If I get into something that looks questionable I'll put some tape over it.

Two packages today!

One from Panzer Tracts with the latest issues (one paid for by Paul Owen and the second a gift from Tom Jentz).

The second from Hubert (Dewertus) is HUGE with many books and my son received three model kits (already finished one in 40 minutes) plus a calendar and book.

Hubert also received some packages at my home. I'll let him describe what he ordered if he wants.

Photos to follow as :nopics

Back in May I pre-ordered the PV-1 and promptly forgot about it... Guess what showed up today! AND my friend Michael sent me this Hurri II w/ masks in exchange for a CA Iman Ro.37... I know I got the best of the deal!

That Ventura may not have a shark's mouth but I love the Green Octopus!

I'll attest to the quality of the Hurricane kit...loved building my two Hasegawa Hurris

Saul,

Quite the haul there... the books look amazing (If I only knew more than 2 words in Polish!!!! :v )

Let me know how you like the Agama paints, I have some and the thinner, but haven't had much success... might just be me (probably is :idonno )

Greetings Saul;


Back in the early 80's, When I was turning a wrench for South Tuscan Aircraft we had
three of them in our bone yard. Some of the days, when I eat lunch I sat in one of
the cockpits .......... great place to eat lunch, and then after, smoke a cigarette.

.... At the time I was also going to school at Lehman Aircraft, to be a crop duster.
that was fun........ at 120knts. 13 feet of the ground dodging sorria trees,(big Cactus).

Now I fly the computer......... "O" well...... and life goes on.
