Mr T Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 From SMW, a second hand Italeri (ex Esci) Sea Harrier FRS1 in 1/72nd. It was £10 and still sealed. An LF Dragonfly to build an RAF one to with my Whirlykits Navy one. Two KP Spitfire 1s and one Alpha Jet in Qinetiq markings. Some books that will appear at Christmas and a Gyrocutter Pro, that might help me do some masking better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 From Southern-Sky Models in Perth, via ebay, a Smer Hurricane IV Hitec kit. Price was good, postage is good. Not maybe the best Hurricane kit these days but then again, I might just have been lured by the promise of a resin armoured radiator.

treker_ed Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 (edited) 18 hours ago, treker_ed said: Too many bits and pieces from Telford... And yet surprisingly under the budget that I had set myself 😁. I'll take pics and list once I get home, but paints, tools, 7 or 8 kits, books, several of the new Phoenix publications items, and other bits and bobs. Reduced show for 2021, but I don't think it suffered as a result of it. Well done to the IPMS EC on the show organisation. Here's my haul from Telford: Managed to bag a few of the Phoenix Publications titles (including the last copy of the F3H Demon bookazine!) Not too much from the big H this time, but quantity made by quality (😊) , some masking, and pe, the new Airfix Wellington, Eduard Spitfire V "The Sweeps", and something a little different - Victory 357 Ekranoplan from AMP/Mikro Mir in Ukraine. Saw a build in October SAM and quite liked the look of it and decided to get one. Really nice little kit, decent mouldings, refined panels, and simple little build. Plus chance to get a little sci-fi (ish) what if build done for our club competition in a couple of months. Don't normally do this, so something out of the ordinary, plus I have hundreds of spare decals that I could use in place of the diddy decals supplied in the kit. F-4J from Wonderland Models, along with some essential decal solution. More metallic paints from Model Inspirations (formally Model Innovations) , and then several other bits and bobs. Paint brushes, micro drills, new 0.35 nozzle for my airbrush, cleaning brushes, sanders from Ultimate Modelling, books from Valiant Wings, and a laptop/instruction stand from EBMA. Cannot recommend their products enough. If you need any storage for paints, tools, etc, just have a look at their website. https://www.ebmahobby.co.uk/ Edited November 15, 2021 by treker_ed 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lasermonkey Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Another order from Sovereign Hobbies for some Colourcoats paints and a bottle of thinners. This is one case where I firmly believe the extra cost of the branded thinners is worth every penny. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazy Modeller Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Just received this one more than an year after I ordered. Always out of stock it seems... I'm in love! Should I open the box? Noooo I cannn't. No way! Should I? Nah better not! It will let the to the dark side... 🤣 Cheers LM 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lasermonkey Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Oh, and a few decal sheets. Two are Xtradecal (Sky code numbers & yellow prototype markings and US stars’n’bars) plus a sheet of Ventura grey serial numbers and letters. 1/72, fo’ rizzle. Does anyone know of a source of those small US stars & bars which didn’t have the blue surround on the bars? Apart from a long out of production Modeldecal sheet, I’m not aware of any.
