Latest Acquisitions Revisited!

[Sharkmouth]

Hobby Lobby haul.

Clearance section offered these 'crepe' tapes from $0.63USD, $0.74USD, & $0.86USD left to right. If I can't use them, I am sure the wife will take them off my hands.

Looking for a spray CA activator, I found this deal for such a large can with a large bottle of CA included as a bonus. $11.99USD

Went to a Nodel Auction in support of IPMS Lorain County. I was a bad, bad boy:

All of this for $20.00 Two of the kits got back to the owner as they were missing parts. Decals and instructions I can got ahold of but not a part for a 1980's model (without buying another kit) I think I'll build the F8Fs as wiffers in strange decals... and paints, just for shit and giggles.

That's what happens to you when you go to Lorain Barney . . . LOL
Went to a show a few weeks ago. There was two Italeri DO 217N at $ 20:00 each . Managed to walk out with both for $ 5:00 . I only needed some parts anyhow. Not a bad catch.

Okay so I have been fortunate to get some extra money and after being responsible I went nuts, there's no other way to explain it. Got a bunch of books I have wanted and then got a bunch of AM, too much to list. For some reason I also came away with this big old bird:

I hate bare metal btw. I also got some tanks and softskins and some more RT Dioramics stuff. Trees, branches for cam in Fir and Oak, a Windmill, a church and a house.

Let the games begin.

@jknaus I have the original release on the B-17 as well as the Memphis Belle release. They are nice kits and I have seen a few built up. Yeah bare metal can be a pain, but as I have learned, the better the surface prep and base paint the better the finish. Yeah I have a bit of practice to do before attempting my B-24 in that scale, but have figured out the basics.

Something that big James I think I would try foiling it instead of paint.
