coolhand Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 Just got my hands on the new Hobby Boss 1/35 Gaz AAA with quad Maxim , via a Jadlam pre-order. Looks like a nice kit, has a bit of etch and paint masks. The only thing I can see is missing is the gun sight (even though it is shown on the box art!). However I'm sure there will be a aftermarket set to sort this soon. Just need to get the bench clear first now. Andy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatfingers Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 How do chaps, Recently landed some more Blandford uniform books. The American Revolution is a replacement for the one i got a few weeks back. Noticed it was missing a number of colour plates and the seller sent me another copy and let me keep the original one 👍 The Russian uniform book is an ex library copy hence the crinkly plastic covered dust jacket!

Regards, Steve Docu's about about making the film.. Shooting the Annihilation. Auditioning for the Apocalypse. Destruction Designer. Stephen Thrower on Threads. Haven't had a chance to see the 2nd disc yet but it's one of those films you need to get the whole set to compare them although they're completely different if that makes sense... The Day After.

HansReggelsen Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 I was at a modelshow last weekend and ended up buying 2 old LS 1/72 Ki-46! Turns out it was my own two that I sold off years ago long with vacformed canopies and etchings - which were still in the boxes! Some kits are somehow destined to stay unbuilt - but not these two! - not today! Cheers Hans J 2 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Navy Bird Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 Anti-acquisition Department: Just about my entire stash is headed for the vendor's table at our local show on Sunday. Way too much stuff. Plus, I need some help to pay off the Hawaii trip. Cheers, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby No Mac Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 I found a couple of the old Superbase series in a charity shop recently and have been picking up a few more on ebay. If you're into the 80s Cold War era then they're great mojo fuel (pretty much like most of Osprey's titles). 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Des Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 From Amazon Chinook Illustrated book , by Lou Drendel , published by Amazon as the latest release in the Aviation Art, Inc. series , usual format -well illustrated mainly in colour with many detail shots, some technical manual drawings and a couple of the author's original artworks , one rather odd image has part of a distant Special Ops MH-47E in the background somewhere in 'the back country of Afghanistan' and is said to portray 'ground crew checking the security of the camp perimeter' in the foreground - standing , feet apart , hands in front of them at waist height slightly bent forward over a line of angled plastic draining pipes sticking out of the ground.

I had the Aircraft in colour series, which I now wish I hadn't got rid of, even if some were a bit dodgy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr T Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 A trip to the Keighley Model Show netted a SH Kittyhawk IV, and a Whirlykits Short SC1. I also bought the Whirlykits Puma HC1 update set and some paintbrushes. It also looks like Whirlykits are coming back under a different name. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomBigStu Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 (edited) Couple more humbrol paints arrived and realised I’ve now more paint than can fit on my 17ml paint rack, probably should invest in another one, though there is room on my other one that’s not designed for such bottles so can wait.

Biggles87 Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Birthday today so I was allowed to open a big box that’s been sitting on the kitchen table for a week. It contained a Special Hobby/ Azur 1/48 Super Mystere B2 which I was expecting and am looking forward to building ( or at least starting ) soon. Another box was produced which contained a compressor, which I was not expecting but am very grateful for as my old one is fading fast.
