  1. My aunt brought Hershey's kisses back for various family members. General opinion was it was like eating a lump of lard!
  2. Why does Chris Witty not blink once during his latest COVID public information film on TV?
  3. Two vampire bats are hanging about as bats tend to do. One notices that his companion has blood all around his mouth and face. "Wow, where did you get all that blood, you lucky thing?" "You see that tree over there?" "Yes" "Well I didn't!"
  4. This kit is currently being released by Agora. They have only just started but surely must have future parts somewhere. There will be no harm in asking them. Their customer service is known to be excellent. Nigel
  5. Sheffield is always on my mind. The woman working at the desk behind mine was called into our manager's office where there was a naval chaplain with the news that her husband hadn't made it. Nigel
  6. How about the old bus (Dennis?), in either the military or civilian version?
  7. I have the one for cutting straight strips and have found it to be absolutely brilliant. Occasionally the blade does ride out of the groove but I feel that is more due to operator error. New scalpel blade is virtually essential and you need to experiment with the angle the blade is held when cutting. I have successfully cut 0.3 mm strips from Tamiya tape.
  8. I have it in my hands. Superb quality and detail. Some of the plastic, is more detailed than the Eduard etch for the revell kit.
  9. The new 1/72 schnellboot s 38/1942 by Fore Hobby, from Hong Kong. WOW!!! 14 flash free sprues of dark grey plastic, 2 Hull halves, 3 clear sprues, 5 small pe frets, various wire thicknesses, turned gun barrels and decals for 2 vessels. Details are sublime. Nigel
  10. U 1105, the Black Panther, contains a fair amount of detail on Alberich, the snorkel and GHG Balkon, a passive sonar array. 1105 was the only sub to have these 3 innovative ideas fitted. Alberich was a rubber coating applied over the entire sub, not just the deck. It had holes of various sizes, size and pattern, being determined by location. It was also tuned to a specific depth where it would be most effective. Fascinating read. Nigel
  11. Looking good. Comment if I may. Should the Anchor chain be stud link, rather than plain link. Feel free to ignore me, it's your model after all! ⚓ Nigel.

    Need a Name

    Cafe Gondree, as a nod to the first building to be liberated on D Day.
  13. I have ordered from l'arsenal to UK with absolutely no problems. Good service and quality. I received one damaged part and Replacements came promptly. Nigel
  14. How true. I'm keeping my eyes open for the correct kit as the deck is so nice. Even revell themselves don't have one.
