look and now I am building and hopefully finish that model. exactly 2 years later
This one is a special that Tamiya issued when they opened one of their show rooms (plamodel factory or something like that) It has a small sheet with different/additional markings for the Japanese top ace Tetsuzo Iwamoto .. thus I spare myself buying the Zotz decals
cheers

Hi again
It's always exciting when a package arrives and you realise it's from Radu Brinzan! This time it contains something really tasty - a 1:32 MiG-21 Lancer C conversion set, complete with a walkaround CD:

Hi again
Pheww! Postie's been busy once more - this time with a superb bundle of samples from Eduard!
As you can imagine, some of these beauties have already got good homes lined up for them, so they'll be straight back into the post, winging their way to reviewers.
All the best

Sometimes you just have to be impressed with the British postal system.
Posted by Rowan yesterday, received by me this morning.
Thanks Rowan, review under way.

i've wanted to try a spray gun type of airbrush and found this one on ebay, being alot cheaper than a known brand airbrush i thought i'd give it a try.

Hi there
Postie brought an incredible package from Dragon yesterday. A test shot of a new kit that won't be announced until October! Unfortunately, I checked with them overnight and they won't let me release any details of it at all.
I know - what a tease I am for even mentioning it!...
All the best

You can give us hints without actually telling us... Or just PM me.. I promise I won't tell anyone else..
All I got in the post were...
RAF Aerodynamic Wires and attaching brackiets from RB Productions
IJN Akagi Armament Barrels and 0.5in Vickers barrels from Master
1/350 Nimitz Aircraft Details, 1/350 USS Saratoga Details and 1/350 HMS Hood Details all from Tom's Modelworks.
Oh wait a sec.. I forgot the other box I got with a Tamiya 1/32 Spitfire VIII, a set of Tamiya paint stands and some rolls of Tamiya Masking Tape refills..
You may be right, I may be crazy.

Nice haul Steffen
I very nearly bought the Revell re-boxed Albie this week, but I'm having to be extra careful how much I spend these days. I'll be interested to see how the Pegasus Hobbies '190 turns out - there could well be quite a decent kit lurking in there.
All the best
