very easy - the kit armament layout depicts tirpitz in 1942, by 1942 all NbFzg were destroyed and Pz.Abt.z.b.V40 has left norway (to karelia iirc) ... so my original plan to place a column of somua or hotchkiss tanks blew up in the second i read the latter fact in the wehrmacht encyclopedia ... now i'll use a supply convoy with trucks ...
The question is more when, and when you should start planning for number 8....
the plan's already made:
#7: iwata eclipse hp-sbs
#8: h&s infinity or paasche turbo

Which are #1-6? Mostly curious, since there's quite a step between a Eclipse and a Paasche AB.
in the order of purchase:
1) badger 150 syphon feed (1990)
2) badger 100 gravity feed (1990 - workhorse for many years)
3) h&s evolution silverline fpc 2in1 (2006)
4) iwata revolution cr (2007 - spontaneous buy, new workhorse)
5) rotring model a/e (2011 - i have both heads and all accessory - present from boss! licensed build from the old conopois - pic here)
6) iwata hp-sbp (2011)

I'm quite envious about the Rotring. They are so cool! Looks and feels like surgical equipment.
Since you already have the Evolution Silverline, I would recommend against getting the Infinity. The difference is so small that it just isn't worth it. I have the QuickFix back handle lying around somewhere, and it would give you the only real advantage of the Infinity, IMHO. No charge.
The Paasche AB (Turbo) is something I will buy for myself someday. Not to use, but mostly to collect. I played with one last year, and even if it is a bit strange to figure out, it can produce quite unbelievable detail. But it is limited to ink or other extrememly thin paint. I would probably not have any use for it, except for admiring in the collection.

Interesting to so much armor paint masks coming out. I may have to look in to putting it back on my website. when I tried to sell it 6 years ago armor builders scoffed at it.
Well, here's my haul from our local contest last Saturday.
Here's what I got from the vendors:
The Crusader kit has two complete kits in it. Now I just need to get some new decals for it.
These are all raffle prizes:
These two came from a friend culling out his model stash:
These two were from a vendor who wanted a dozen bottles of Gator's Grip Hobby Glue. I swapped him even.
I got the England so I could use the hedge hog launcher as a pattern for my USS Orleck build
Pilots for my 1/48 Oka and my 1/32 Oscar:
And this came along with another ship kit that needs to be reviewed for Model Shipwrights:

I recall Montex Masks having a few and then expanding after having them reviewed. Did you ever get them reviewed?

No interest in them. At first it was a couple of aircraft and then I added ships. I had a mask for US and German armor national insignia and the NATO CAMO for the M1 Abrams.
Git'er Done John!!!!
