Hi again

A trip to my LHS yesterday where I picked up Airfix's tropical Hurricane, was followed by some epic deliveries today from Copper State Models, with their beautiful new Dolphin, and The Airbrush Company, with a selection of Alclad II Mil Spec enamels and metallics, along with Wilder and LifeColor weathering items:









I think it's safe to say the Hurricane will be heading straight for The Stash while I concentrate on reviews and trying out the new paints "in anger"!

All the best

Hi Joel

I didn't see them coming either. They look really exciting. I'm just starting tests. They're thinned perfectly for spraying and go on really smoothly, with excellent covering power.

All the best

Rowan

Hi Joel

You can see the current range on The Airbrush Co's website.

There are more listed for future release in the brochure they sent, so I'll type them all out for the review.

All the best

Not from the postie but a chairty shop find last week. Not bad for a fiver!


Went in again today and found this for the same price! Of course I asked if they had anymore, but sadly not. They did say they would keep a look out for me in future.

Hi Stephen

Great catch!... But I think they've seriously undervalued them.

I'm going to sound like I'm p*ssing on the parade, but I work for Oxfam, so could you drop me a PM about where you found them?

Charities have a dual duty - to raise the maximum on behalf of the donor, and for the intended cause. So, to let high value items slip through the net isn't something any of us who want to do some good want to see happen to our donations...

An extra fiver would have invested in a farmyard to support a family - http://www.oxfam.org.uk/shop/oxfam-unwrapped/animal-lovers/share-in-a-farmyard-ou9026ml?intcmp=ou-home-product-share-in-a-farmyard

Andy,
The Meng F-106A has gotten excellent reviews.

Hi,
Yeah they have messed up on pricing these. It was only after I bought the SE.5 that the thought occurred to me. I think it's all too easily done and they perhaps confused them with Roden's 1/72. I've had many instances on Google when I've searched for reviews of the bigger kits and the first hits were the smaller ones.
It's an independent charity shop that raises for a local hospice, so not Oxfam. In the past I've had a lot from them. Mostly books and DVD's but occasionally kits which were more realistically priced. Last summer I got AMT's cutaway USS Enterprise and Deep Space 9 station kits for £30 each.

Hi Stephen

I'm glad it's not my mob, or I'd have had a quiet word behind the scenes. We all make mistakes and it's a constant battle ensuring fair and realistic prices - especially on specialist items.

All the best
