fightersweep Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 I'm hoping to add another three to the gallery over the weekend, and I'm considering throwing one more into the hat. Steve 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm my own worst enemy when it comes to stash expansion. There's also a few Ford Mustangs on the site, useful if you fancy the Mustang GB later in the year. £22 for the Revell '69 Boss 302 is the cheapest I've seen so far. Best be quick! Have to say some of Dave Coley’s prices are really good value, on the Heller stuff at least (I haven’t really looked at anything else!) I’ve ordered twice and each time received a really nice set of freebie tweezers too. I’m a big fan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the best tweezers set I've had the pleasure of using. Way better than my Xacto set, which was rubbish and have since gone in the bin. Dave's a fellow Southend boy too, so that get's my vote. Must browse his shop again soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, I should have squeezed another update in on my threads, but I had one of those days yesterday where the progress just steamed along. Two are practically done, but I think the Bf-109C needs another update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob Lyttle Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I was going to put this on the epic @Bengalensis Citroën build, but on reflection I don't think it's appropriate to clutter his ongoing work with my chatter. You'll have to pardon the "non-Heller" content, but look what I just got.... Not quite as much detail and content as his..... It is a little smaller than that. In fact I make it 6X6X6 times smaller or 1/216 the size.! If you recall the box art for the Lufthansa Constellation, it includes a company VW beetle. I'm not sure if the car is included in the kit or if it's a bit of creative artwork, but I've got a couple Lockheed twins coming on in 1.48 scale, and this little gem could look very period and cool parked beside them. There's even a PE and resin front grille incl. Definitely a civilian finish for this, and that gloss black looks fine to me! 😍 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be perfect with one of your twins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm doing the Heller Potez 540 in the colours of a plane registered to the French Government and used by General Charles de Gaulle to tour French territories in Africa. That's fairly French.

Johnson Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I think my Bf109G-6 was the 200th to start, so 100th in the gallery would be nice. But I've got to do the aerial wire and a bit of weathering, so I suspect that Steve will beat me to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
