From Ebay Second- hand Olympus Zuiko 40-150mm 4/3 System Lens as proof that no good deed goes unpunished !!!!! Last week a friend had mentioned that he was thinking of getting a DSLR , as I had a spare but rather temperamental Olympus E400 body which doesn’t like moving targets but works fine with static objects I gave him that along with a duplicate 40-150 Zoom lens. This week was sorting through my camera equipment and discovered that there is something seriously wrong with the lens I kept – like looking into a coal cellar in the middle of a moonless night and will not focus so had to find a reasonably priced replacement for my own use.

Wells Prop Models Two x Wells Props Models WP48007 1/48 Harrier Intake Fan For Kinetic Kits 3D Printed Replacements , bought the last one of the previous batch a few weeks ago so now with another batch on sale have replacements for all of the Kinetic kits in my stash (so far).

Yet back in the early to mid 1980s they were perhaps the cheapest range on the market in the UK and perhaps at the peak of their creativeness with a regular supply of new releases or amended re-releases. With often a more complicated long-drawn out project running in the background I was very much mainly building from the box at that time or at most using Modeldecals where applicable and recall frequently picking up the latest Italeri kit on the way home after finishing my Friday morning shift and even despite family demands with three pre-teens still having it built , painted and decalled over my weekend off before starting nights on Tuesday evening . . . . now it takes me that long to assemble and perhaps even manage to paint a seat.

You could always give it MERS and a full load of bombs - https://www.f-106deltadart.com/piwigo/picture.php?%2F8203%2Fcategory%2F435 - ADC became part of TAC during the deployment and to make a visiting TAC General feel at home they loaded up an F-106 with a full load of bombs although in reality they could only ever have been jettisoned on top of someone's head to cause any harm . . . . . apparently he was highly amused. Genie carried as part of a normal weapons load might have been seen as being too provocative in Korea.

From Wells Prop Models Three sets of 3D Printed WP48007 1/48 Harrier Intakes For Kinetic Kits From Amazon V-Bombers: Britain's Nuclear Frontline in the Cold War book , by Dr. Tony Redding , published 2024 by Grub Street , very interesting illustrated background to the V Force in the strategic role especially the sobering conclusion reached with the help of many crew as to how few would get clear of their home airfields far less reach their targets in the case of the minimum ‘three minute warning’. Pairs of PS-BLM1 and BLS-1 Rechargeable Batteries and Chargers for my two different models of Olympus DSLR on which some of the older batteries are failing. From WH Smith Sprue of Warlord Games 28mm 7530000006 ‘Modern Special Ops' weapons and figures ‘free’ with the April issue of Wargames Illustrated Magazine , magazine cover price cheaper than sprue RRP , equivalent to 1/56 scale but weapons might come in useful for set dressing 1/48 projects.

Was in my local WH Smith today and saw that the current (April 2024) Issue of Wargames Illustrated has a sprue of multi-part 28mm Warlord Games 7530000006 'Modern Special Ops' figures and weapons bundled with it , scale for the genre seems to be rather flexible and wavers around 1/56 but maybe handy for dressing up 1/48 vehicles etc. and at £5.99 for the bundle it is a few pounds cheaper ( https://store.warlordgames.com/products/modern-military-sprue?_pos=1&_sid=6cc4d6efe&_ss=r ) than buying direct. The magazine seems to include bundled items a couple of times a year and I have noticed them before but this is the first in quite some time where subject/scale have coincided with my interests.

From Wells Prop Models WP48009 1/48 Harrier Intake Fan For Kinetic Kits , 3D printed , last in stock so hopefully more (and the revised intakes) will be printed in the future. Fairey Gannet COD.4 Baggage Pods And Pylons – 3D Printed From Amazon Tail Code USAF: The Complete History of USAF Tactical Aircraft Tail Code Markings , by Patrick Martin , published 1997 by Schiffer , been meaning to buy this for a while but had always been put on back burner in favour of something shiny , well illustrated and covers up to that time before the world went completely grey , around the same time the author privately published a similar ‘Hook Code’ volume on the USN/USMC which unfortunately is now as rare as hen’s teeth.

I gave up on it a year or two ago because of the cost -v- content I was actually interested in. Newsagent who used to keep it for me no longer stocks it and neither does the local WHS but the one in Arbroath 15 miles away does , was in there a couple of weeks ago and the latest regular issue (not one of the more expensive 'specials') was priced at £11 and some change , far from the days when it was the cheapest title on the shelf and now and again would come with a freebie set of decals unrelated to content sellotaped to the cover. Spent the first half of my life down there and at one time there used to be two large branches in the area , one at the 'Bus Station (previously John Menzies and last time I was down still a hairdresser) and the other in the High Street which I believe closed because of a massive hike in rent. There was also the large newsagent outside ASDA in Newmarket Street which often stocked harder to find titles and while a shop with the same name opened in Vicar Street last time I looked it barely stocked newspapers far less magazines. There was also a family run shop in the precinct in Stenhousemuir whose name I forget which used to have a good selection of aviation and modelling titles but last I heard they had moved and had drastically cut back on that side of the business. Seems to be the nature of the game with many newsagents. When I moved to Montrose almost 30 years ago I picked the shop with most aviation/military/modelling titles on the shelves to set my monthly order aside , changed hands a few times since but a couple of years ago the current (and longest owner) cut back on the number of titles he stocks down to one six foot rack including newspapers and replaced the previous twenty foot run with freezers and has become more of mini-store than a newsagent. Still sets by reserved copies aside but no longer stocks the Key 'specials' nor a range of other titles that might occasionally take my interest. Don't know if it is down to the death of print or the sad fact that the profit per individual pack of burgers or whatever is far higher than per issue of a magazine which is perhaps why Tesco and the like charge the publisher to stock their titles and in turn perhaps why our local branch went from a whole side of an aisle of magazines down to barely a quarter of one last year but has since reversed their policy. Sadly if shops do not stock titles then casual buyers will not see them and become regular customers and also makes it less likely that new titles will get a foothold in the market which is more likely to kill the print industry rather than the supposed move into cyberspace.

From The Aviation & Military Book Centre Model Art Publications while interesting and with high standards of photography/artwork/drawings are out of my price range with a brand-new cover price of £30'ish for 128 page magazines with Japanese text (and rather oddly English article titles) but some went on special offer last week which with postage worked out as three for the normal UK retail price of one so I got - Model Art Air Model Special No.30 – Swing Wing Fighters , F-111 , F-14 , Tornado , SU-17 , Su-24 & MiG-23 Model Art Air Model Special No.31 - F-4 Phantom II , long nosed and Spey engined variants.

Via Abe Books After buying issues 1 and 4 at bargain prices from Naval & Military Press last week I sought out the rest of the series at slightly higher but still lower than cover prices this week , the launch issue described as second -hand although it appeared brand-new to me while the other issues were brand-new, Wingleader Magazine Limited Edition Launch Issue book , published 2018 by Wingleader as a printed edition of their digital journal.

The Privatisation Classes – A Pictorial Survey Of Diesel And Electric Locomotives and Units Since 1994 book , by David Cable , published 2017 by Pen & Sword , not into rail as such but have a few of the author’s books and enjoy his style of photography and the way it captures changes in the post-industrial landscape which today increasingly involves rat's nests of overhead cables. Planes A Complete History – A Model-Making and Collector’s Book In One book , Brian Bartle ; Neil Capel ; Simon Morse et al , published 2014 by Thunder Bay , thought I might make a very simplified but a bit caricaturish start into paper modelling with a choice of 50 pre-printed press out models to choose from and see if it encourages anything more complicated.

Caught up with a few items for a variety of projects and compared with some other recent overseas purchases fantastic delivery with 7 days from ordering from Australia and 10 from Ukraine From We Buy Books The Squadrons Of The Fleet Air Arm book , by Ray Sturtivant , second-hand copy of the 1984 first edition published by Air Britain. Was wondering if anyone has both editions and could comment on whether there is much difference in the photographic content between this and the revised 1994 edition - are there any/many changes from those in the 1984 book or merely additional images supporting the new text covering the decade between them? From Amazon 2 x Humbrol Acrylic 123 Extra Dark Sea Grey paint From Hobby Lines on eBay EMA Plastic Weld Liquid Cement , 3 x 57 ml.

Franks , latest release by Valiant Wings in their usual format with history , images - full aircraft and detail , variant detail drawings , colour profiles , technical drawings , 1/48 plans, kit comparisons etc. Oddly when looking around for the best price/shipping was surprised to see that my usual first stop at the great muddy river of commerce was charging twice RRP for the book. Via Amazon (various sellers) Liked the Marines In Vietnam volume from the G.I.: The Illustrated History of the American Soldier, His Uniform & His Equipment series that I bought last week so sought out some others from the series , three out the four were new and each cost pennies either side of £4 including shipping where applicable with some being the original Greenhill printing and others the more recent Pen & Sword reprint with a very slightly larger page size. US Airborne Forces of the Cold War book , by Leroy Thompson , published 2003 by Greenhill Books.

Technically the 'old' 1/48 Airfix kit was actually the 1/48 Heller kit (but not the 'old' 1/50 Heller Jaguar kits which were something quite different) with new 'bits' from back when they shared production with each company taking the lead and retaining ownership of the moulds while developing specific kits but with different boxes , decals and sometimes like here with different parts for both brands which is probably why Revell were able to release it a few years back as Airfix rarely tend to go in for that type of reboxing. Really good reason one could argue for Airfix to actually develop their own 1/48 Jaguar and get it right.

Via Ali Express Trumpeter 02835 1/48 Su-24M Fencer-D kit , been meaning to buy one of these for a while so paid the price (in more ways than one) for delaying but on the plus side was the cheapest I could find by about £10 once shipping and VAT were added , contains a lot of plastic of which around half of the almost 700 parts is a veritable arsenal of Russian aircraft weaponry. On the down side. I have bought quite a few items through Ali Express over the years and while descriptions can sometimes be ‘interesting’ (to be kind) shipping times usually err on the side of caution but in this case delivery was three weeks beyond the latest due date and customer service was very poor Tracking initially showed it arriving timeously in the UK but then it disappeared and after three weeks enquiries led to being given contact details for different UK couriers to whom the tracking number was meaningless. Opened a grievance and then last week tracking changed to show it had entered the China Post system on the day before it allegedly had arrived in the UK and then had an extended break in the Netherlands. However when it did eventually start to move again from mainland Europe it arrived from there within four days over a weekend during which ParcelForce do not deliver. Modified Fireball Kit Model, Avatars of War 75025, S. F. C., Fireball Indoor resin kit , example of ‘interesting’ descriptions mentioned above , thought I was buying an upper body for a ‘fighting suit’ model for a total cost of around £5 but turned out to be replacement interior detail parts , however unlike the Su-24 it did arrive very quickly and a week earlier than expected , might find a use for the bits sometime/somewhere. From Landguard Books on eBay Marines in Vietnam – G.I. The Illustrated History of The American Soldier , His Uniforms And His Equipment book , by Christopher J. Anderson , published 2016 by Pen & Sword , 72 page photo album with 100 black & white and 17 colour well captioned images focusing on the troops at work and rest rather than the hardware , brand new copy , much reduced from RRP and very similar in style to the 1980s Arms & Armour Warbirds Series.

Competitive price and free UK shipping , thanks for letting me know.

Been tempted to but think I might hang off until a little nearer the release to see if there might be better deals from Jadlam etc. or perhaps even buying direct.

Checked Double Ugly's British Phantoms - The Phantom FG.Mk.1 and FGR.Mk.2 in Royal Navy and RAF Service - 1966-1978 by Patrick Martin with much the same result and no photos of any in service Royal Navy FG.1 carrying them although the text does state that both services commonly used them.

From Ali Express 1/35 Resin Figure Full Body Model Kit, Yokoyama Mecha, Fireball Pilot GK resin kit , unbranded and without instructions the 25 part (not including the short piece of brass rod and a thin blade aerial - the black 'T' shaped arrangement on the head) Maschinen Krieger genre fighting suit and pilot figure cost around £12 including shipping and VAT and looks part for part very much like the Makoto Models New Fireball & Pilot kit which was selling for around £100 when released in 2020. Alternative hatches are included along with a pilot's head to fit in the detailed partial cockpit for the 'open' option. The 1/48 Trumpeter Su-24 kit remains missing in action with no mention yet of resolving my complaint but despite claiming that it had arrived in the UK on 15th. January and giving me contact details for two different couriers who assured me that the tracking code was not in any format they used a second tracking string has appeared on their site late this week showing that it did not leave China until 14th. January , arrived in the UK yesterday and is due for delivery on Monday coming. From KLP Publishing Building the Airfix Sea King HU.5 in 1/48 Scale PDF Download , by Geoff Coughlin , latest release by KLP , 180 pages covering building straight out of the box and with 80 walkround images.

Interestingly the scale of each of the many colour side , plan and underside views is shown.

Looking forward to this BUT what if despite claiming otherwise Airfix actually are working on an AEW.3 to surprise the world with as they did with the Sea King . . . . . . oopsy !!!! From the timing with a release planned for April I would think this must be a project long in the planning rather than a response to the Airfix AS1/4 but very welcome indeed.
