  1. Today's shopping has been IBGs 1/72 Charioteer, several sets of Cromwell stowage from Early War Miniatures and a big order of Master barrels for various planned builds and F-4E Phantom bits from Hannants. Expensive Day!!
  2. Recently picked up a whole load of aftermarket sets from Firing Line, Scorpion Military Models and Osirius Models for the Airfix Ferret. Planning to build one based in Northern Ireland in the late 1970s
  3. Hi John I'm intending to build it as per the kit, just with a change of markings and the legend stowage set.
  4. Nice work John and following this with interest as I started the same kit recently but have stalled a bit with it due to work commitments.
  5. That does look a very useful product but sadly I can't find a UK supplier and Micromark wanted £60 postage from the US!!
  6. Very sad news. I've been a semi-regular customer for the last 25 years and always been impressed with the products and service. Many condolences to his family.
  7. Latest purchase is a Hauler 1/72 Tetrach for a very reasonable price on ebay. Just hope it arrives as seller has a few feedbacks stating orders have been cancelled for no reason 🤞. If it does turn up I'll treat it to a set of Dan Taylor Modelworks decals and a Microworld turned brass barrel with the littlejohn adapter.
  8. I bought one of these recently as well and can attest to the quality. They've got quite a few interesting subjects I have my eye on. Its a big bit of kit as well - saw one in real life at last years Cappell Military Show.
  9. Thanks for the comprehensive response. I've got the legend upgrade set (came with my kit) which comes with clamps and straps for both the tools and the cables, plus the stowage tubes (wondered what they were), and what I guess are the barbed wire clamps. Will investigate MJ productions though as it sounds like they do some useful stuff. Thanks again
  10. Building a Tamiya M51 at present and enjoying it a lot, although annoying one of my sprues was badly short shot so I've had to order a set of aftermarket pioneer tools for it. Other than that I'm enjoying the build. Yours looks most excellent and I really like that cammo scheme!
  11. And more purchases. A MIG Ammo 3d printed set of US pioneer tools has been ordered as weirdly sprue D from this kit was badly short shot which meant most of the tools haven't moulded and several other parts were damaged (luckily all replaced by the legend set). Also discovered the replacement tracks (AFV Club) are both incorrect (T84 whereas IDF used T80) and full of ejector marks so a bargain set of RFM T80 tracks have been purchased.
  12. It arrived yesterday and other than smelling strongly of fag smoke I'm rather happy with it. Have a Legend stowage set on the way as fancied stowing it up a bit. Now to resist temptation and try to get the Trumpeter T-62 I working on built first!!
  13. Ordered from them mid January (and have done a few times in the past) with no issues. Items took a week or so to arrive but that's OK. Postage was a bit high but items came pretty well packaged.
  14. Thanks John - I'll give it a go out of interest. The metal one I've ordered was only £8 (from China) as it's just the barrel and uses the kit muzzle brake. Slightly more reasonable than £20ish for an Aber one.
  15. Thanks John. I doubt I'll get it to the same standard as your masterpieces, but I'm looking forward to it. Just sourced a metal barrel as I dislike two part ones as I can never clean the seam up and still keep them round.
