You better have some decent insecticide with you or it might get expensive if you are mass attacked by bugs

Hi there
I haven't been well the last few days, but there's nothing like the sound of Postie at the door to drag a modeller bleary-eyed from his sick bed!
A very exciting package arrived from Dragon:
I'll get straight on with reviewing it.
All the best

Combination of the postman and me.
The two Su 27s were purchased from a toy store near my home. As they were part of an inventory clearance sale, i got them for 15$ apiece
[PS: they are in the 1/48 scale]
I plan to finish atleast one of them in the Indian AF colors.
The airbrush on the other hand was something i had ordered in Mid-Nov and i had given them up for lost. They finally turned up yesterday. Also in the box was an airbrush cleaning station, some clear part cement, styrene strips and sheets

Hi Steffen,
It's the first time you prefer a P-47 over Luftwaffe stuff...

Something little for future campaigns:
Academys brand new 109. I am not convinced about the decal camouflage so Im just "old school" painting it. For Bf 109 campaign.
Also CMKs 5-spoked wheels for finnish Hurricane. For Summer 1940 campaign.

Hi Tuomas,
Could you write a review for aeroscale about the Bf 109 E-3? I think many people would be interested to see how it compares to the Tamiya and Hasegawa offerings and how the decals look like...

Hi Jean Luc,
I have never written a review before, but I could try writing something down while building it. I don't have any experience with Tamiya or Hasegawa Bf 109s thought.

Hi again
A very nice Windsock package arrived out of the blue this morning from Albatros Publications:
The "Wingnuts special" is awesome! I was planning on getting the Pup anyway, but I think I'll have to get the Albatros too - it looks that good!
All the best
Rowan

How about doing a online build review ? This way we can see how the kit goes together and your methods of solving troubled areas . Would be a great aid to folks on the site

i've got those as well,the fine saw blade is brilliant,just be careful not to use toooo much pressure because the blade can kink if your not careful.
