Nice one Steffen

I was in touch with Sergey earlier this week and he's hoping to get the first castings of his Bf 109F sets next week, so they should hopefully be available commercially soon.

All the best

Hi Rowan

Well, one of the first actions next month will be to buy the Zvezda kit and then I will try to get the Galland conversion + correction set ...

cheers

Australian crew came in P-2 Neptunes to train on the P-3, rowdy bunch


Aussies? Rowdy? Surely you jest

Hi again

Postie delivered a nice bundle of new sets from Eduard, courtesy of Jean-Luc



I'll be doing a round-up of Eduard's Spitfire Mk. IX sets designed for the Tamiya kit. The 1:48 Bf 110D masks have arrived at the perfect moment because I have the Dragon kit all set to start thinking about throwing some paint at it!

All the best

Got Revell's P-47 D30 from Modelhobbies.co.uk.


It took less than a week to arrive!
I read several good things about this little kit, but only after having taken a first look at the sprues I just made an idea about the level of detail, which is awesome!
The decals feature an unusual matt film. I think I'll go for the French OD/Grey version.
There are a little flashes, but nothing serious. The canopy is a little scuffed (not packed separately) and there are flashes too (maybe because the mould is not well maintained?), but it's usable in my opinion.
It promises fun!

Hi there

Postie has delivered an absolutely stunning set of samples from Eagle Editions!



If I'm not on-line in the near future it'll be because I've got my nose in a good book!

All the best

Hi there

A nice package arrived today, courtesy of Dragon USA (I think) via Staff_Jim:



It's a limited edition and the parts look like they may be the old Frog kit that I remember (but never built) from the dim and distant days of my youth. I might go for a build-review of this one as it's a tad unusual.

All the best

Rowan


The funny thing is that the word "Fokker" in Russian (as it is in the box) it's the same in Greek

"ΦΟΚΚΕΡ"


Cheers Nick

Well my postie had two large boxes to drop off this week one from LuckyModel and another from HLJ neither of which I'd used before.
This is what they contained:




The small blister is a Wolfpack resin conversion refuelling probe for the Hasegawa F-14 Tomcat

Cool stuff Luciano!! .. great day at customs?

I also got a small parcel from Lucky today. I grabbed the Tamiya Spit Vb for 10 Euro (will be a tribute to Adolf err Adolph) and a gun barrels set for early Fw 190s for another 8€

BTW they have now the new Tamiya A6M3 Zero and the AFV F-5E with another nose in stock (not the Recce bird) ... if only I had more budget

cheers

Cheers Steffen, well the HLJ parcel came through customs unseen so only had to pay for the LuckyModel one

Now to save up for the Eduard Fw-190D-9 and D-11 kits, next month I think.

Hi there

No prizes for guessing what Jean-Luc and I will be tackling as our next Dual Build! Squadron have sent a fantastic bundle of goodies to cram into my half of the project.





All the best

Hi Steffen

No, this one has been planned for a while - we've just been working out the right time to go for it. We'll be kicking off at the end of July, once Jean-Luc gets back from his summer holiday.

That'll give me time to finish the Bf 110.

All the best
