Latest Acquisitions Revisited!

I saw the 1/35th scale ICM CH-64 kit built last year, by a modeler I consider an expert, and NONE of this 3D aftermarket stuff is needed.
Every time you add an accessory or aftermarket detail, you add the possibility of flaws as well. Then too, we model to please ourselves, do we not?

I ordered this from the guy that I had bought my other Harder and Steenbeck airbrushes from. It came with some extra fancy attachments and such as well. Fun part is most of the part interchange on them so it is all good.

I am looking forward to being able to test this one out.

So true but in the case of Reskit, I know that their research and work was done in cooperation with ICM to incorporate details they couldn't add in their regular injection process. I guess they had too much information?

My wife and son returned form Poland with goodies thanks to Hubert!

Is it me or are the prices for some WnW models coming down now ?

I just got this for £135 ? i thought that was about what they cost on launch 10 years ago ?

I think many over speculated the market for these.

Possibly Bob. I only bought the ones that I thought would be interesting to build. I never speculated, though I figured that they would hold their value so no loss either if I didn't build them.

£135 is still a lot but then the new P51 from eduard (which probably wont fit together being Eduard) is £100 so maybe in terms of value for money a WnW for £135 is now good value. My WnW Bristol fighter is one of only a hand full of builds i have kept over the years and the DH4 will sit well along side.
