I figure I’ll do both of the kit schemes (“ normal” and checkerboard) and it may be handy to have an extra set of checkerboard decals on hand! Wise move. I'd also recommend you get some white disc transfers to go under the roundels to stop the chequers showing through. I think I used some from Fantasy Printshop and needed to apply 2 sets. No need to bust a gut making the chequers match up perfectly around the corners of the fuselage: they didn't in real life (I found a photo). Fabulous scheme though: real eye-catcher. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted Posted January 22, 2022 Author Share Posted January 22, 2022 Got a package from Latvia today. Just a beautiful kit and great value. And one of their resin pilot figures. I also bought their Canadian armoured car and a resin figure of a crewman for the car. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillF67 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Not so much followed me home but finally acquired (at a good price - £15 + postage) a Pegasus 1/72 AW FK8. I now have a 1/72 kit of every a/c type (if not every Mark) operated by 17 Sqn RAF. Now all I have to do is build them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KITCAT Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Late last week after visiting my LMS in West Yorkshire I discovered a Quinta Studios 1/32 detail set for an Albatros D1 and Ray's rag on a Fokker triplane in my bag. Don't understand how they got there!!! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marklo Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Well nothing specifically today but as you can see the stash ( this about 2/3s of it) is overflowing with WWI types, just have to get around to building them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandy Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 oops! Looks like quite a decent kit, all wings straight too. But not a lot of detail inside Ian 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potato Pete Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Just snaffled a Copper State 1/32 early Nieuport XVII. It looks very nice in the box indeed. Only downside I can see so far are the generic colour call outs - can anyone give me guidance for the Light Green, Chocolate Brown and Light and Medium blues?

KITCAT Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Further to my last post as mad as a March hare the KITCAT strikes again bagging a WnW's tin donkey even though it took Ebay 3 minutes to figure who had won. Now my thinking is this, even if these moulds are ever sold on would the the result be better kits or like Meng models show signs of cost cutting. Also the scalpers would charge god knows what so I through caution to the wind and guessed it would reach over £200 and it did.

Black Knight Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Last night, a 'win' on ebay, a 1/48 Revell Bristol F2B, for £12.50 inc p/p 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KITCAT Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 A little tale of our times. Way back over two and a half months ago I ordered two REX Exhausts on an auction site. One arrived quickly despite the uncertain times in Ukraine.Days ran into weeks then into months and I wrote the other off, nothing to be done. So my surprise yesterday when a little package dropped through my letter box containing an exhaust for my LVG CV1 Bless them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No kits followed me home but AK interactive are selling off stocks of PC10 for €1.15 a bottle so I bought a fresh supply of the early and late and done more battleship grey as I’m running low. Having just finished my Sopwith TF1. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpscale Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Picked up a Halberstadt Cl.II (late) from WnW the other day only to realise I've already got one in the stash... Thought the box art looked familiar. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howlindawg Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 I haven't posted here in a while simply because I had to take a firm grasp of my previously, rapidly expanding stash! 😊 However, I just couldn't resist these goodies from Aviattic. So I guess that's two 1/32 DR1s planned for the winter period... and neither will be red! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
