Duncan B Posted April 28, 2021 Author Share Posted April 28, 2021 A set of paint masks for my GWH Su-27UB made by a Company called New Ware from CZ. They include masks to allow you to paint the prominent canopy seal and other aerials etc on the airframe. It will be a while before I get around to using them so time will tell how well they work.

Cheers, Stew It does but I must confess I have never previously used the inner masks as I'm not convinced I could get them to line up properly, especially as these ones have a thin mask for the sealant too. duncan B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pauly Block Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Just took delivery of five Eduard 1/48 Overtrees kits Spitfire Mk.I Early Spitfire Mk.I Late, Spitfire Mk.IIa P-51D mustang and Lysander Mk.III All FedEx-ed from Eduard to the UK inside 5 days for around 55 GBP all in. Just got the urge to spend twice as much on aftermarket stuff now though 😬 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lasermonkey Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 A sheet of 10 thou plasticard. I know, right? Last of the big spenders! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lasermonkey Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 A Hasegawa 1/72 F-4D off eBay. They rarely pop up and when they do, I always bid if the starting price isn’t too silly. Another one for my Suffolk Phantoms collection. Cheers, Mark. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lasermonkey Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Despite thinking that I really ought to rein in my spending, I saw an Airfix Sea King starter set on eBay for just under twelve quid, posted and well, you know the rest! I haven't built a Sea King since I was a kid. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a deal for these 2. 6 Vallejo paints, 5 of them are 'Transparent' - for some of my WW1 types 3. A Rareplanes 1/72 vac kit of a Meteor F.8 4. Osprey book on Camel Aces 5. Odd bits and good decals for an Airfix 1/32 Jaguar XKR GT3. I need them to replace the bad ones in the kit I have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treker_ed Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Two books which I had been looking for for a while but was unable to get until now. SAM publications (before the switch over to MA Publications) Modellers Datafile 17 BAe/HS Harrier Modellers Datafile 11 BAe/HS Sea Harrier Reference material for my multi-builds of Kinetic Harriers that I have in the stash - 2x GR1/GR3, FRS.1, FA.2, T2/T4/T8 plus a Hasegawa GR7/GR9. More than enough for me as I don't go OTT with any AM stuff. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 I just inherited 7 boxes of models from a friend, aporoximately 75 kits ranging from WW1 through to an Academy F-22 with a boatload of decals and A/M bits. Everything from Aoshima to Eduard, I have an entire big wing of Spitfires alone. Everything from Mk.I’s to Mk.18’s. Though no Mk.XII’s, so still need to find one of them someday. I need to give it a going over and inventory it all. Ive been told that if there isn't anything I don't want/need I can pay it forward. So will either donate to a veterans group or put them up for sale/trade. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lasermonkey Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 I put in a cheeky, low bid on an Eduard Quattro boxing of Avia B534s and won. Stupidly low price, too. It works out at around four quid a kit including postage! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in Lincs Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Earlier I had a 'how did we do?' email from World of Books as I took delivery of three books from them yesterday. On the off chance I did a search for 'Scram' by Harry Benson on their site. It's basically 'The Falkands war in a Wessex' by a new pilot. I read it years ago and have recently been looking for another copy. Anyway, I found one on there for seven pounds odd post free. Further down the page, the same book for 4.99 post free! No contest. So that will be zooming over here later in the week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 A Revell EF-111A & a Italeri reboxing of the Academy P-38J, both from Midelsforsale in the UK. I had though the Raven was a reboxing of the Italeri one & only realized when it arrived it was the old Monogram one, however, I think it'll do for my fairly basic modelling style, the decals look well done. Both 1/72. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treker_ed Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 1/72 Dakota MKIII for £20 from the works. This is the boxing that included the Willy's Jeep. Not too bad I thought, looked up and seems to be around the £28+ mark where available elsewhere. Also on the way from Big H at Lowestoft, Kinetic FA.2 Sea Harrier, Eduard canopy mask, and the 1/48 Blenheim reissue. Also some etch for the Kinetic Gr1/Gr3 (one of each for each type) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
