PhantomBigStu Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Needed some xtradecal Roundels and MjW models (who seem to no longer have a forum presence, hope Mikes ok) were the cheapest on eBay, went direct to their site and grabbed the xtradecal mossie xvi sheet as it’s been ages since I’ve given them custom and I’ve wanted the sheet for ages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 @Vince1159 Score. 👍 The last couple of days I've had a RSmodels p-39Q drop on the doorstep, fancied the Canton Island Sand scheme, also a Clear Prop XA2D Sky Shark, both 1/72 of course, the latter rather spendy, especially postage, it is quite a big box but hard to pass up.

Rob G Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Yet another Karaya kit, this time their 1/72 Fairey Flycatcher. This despite me having no less than 4 copies of the old 1/48 Inpact kit in various boxings, as well as Armory's beautiful 1/48th kit which I bought direct from their stall at Telford in 2019. The Flycatcher is 'one of those', the ones that just grip me, like Twotters, E.E. Lightnings and BAe 146s... I know, I have issues... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One 48 Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 My Tamiya 1/48 P-38 J arrived yesterday, have their 1/48 P-38 F/G too and the plan is to build them together, just a couple of kits to finish and I can get stuck in. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Just received an 1/72 Airfix U-2 kit, 1/72 Heller F-86, and 1/72 Hasegawa P-40E with a DB resin conversion to make an early or late long-tail P-40F which will be in North African or early Italian campaign markings. Ive built pretty much every mark of P-40 with exception of an F/L and Q. I also received the decals needed to move my Platinum Jubilee Sabre F.4 forward. Non-modeling a couple of prescriptions to deal with the infection in my foot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 An envelope from Hannants today with a couple of decal sheets, Modelart with Fougas & RN Seakings, now got some markings for a Seaking from Eagle in the right timescale for her visit to New Zealand in 1971, also a Printscsale F-16 Desert Storm sheet, a couple of subjects on it I fancy. Getting so as the price is getting silly now that the big H is insisting on tracked post which we also pay GST on. The next order might be with a kit, at least decals come for free then. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr T Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 My fairly old (15 years or thereabouts) compressor is really beginning to act up now, and I think it is reaching the end if its life. It was an unbranded one bought as part of a kit at a SMW and so I feel I have no cause for complaint. Its replacement arrived yesterday. An Airgoo Ag326 compressor with tank. I think it is something out the same factory that makes Fengda and other Chinese ones. Tried it out and seems OK. Awaiting some Iwata Superlube as my tube has split and leaked it's contents. You really have to be very careful when Googling this stuff, I mean flavoured? 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lasermonkey Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 An AModel Yak-27R for a reasonable price off eBay. I’ve been after one of the Yak twenty series kits for a while now, but kept getting outbid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Learstang Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 (edited) I've got you all beat. My latest kit is a Bordernut* Lancaster. When I'm going to build it and where I'm going to display it if it ever gets built is definitely TBD.

PhantomBigStu Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Just won an airfix harrier gr9 starter on eBay, thanks to a slightly imbibed bid during the channel 5 program the other night, meant to just be picking stuff up for imminent group builds… 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alt-92 Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 A free C.19 positive test result. 😕 Ah well. It was nice while it lasted. Probably caught it on the company outing (at least that had a good line up and lots of free drinks) 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
