Doh, me too.
Belated happy birthday Rowan.
Andy

Cheers guys

I'll post a review of the Re 2005 soon (the other goodies I have coming have already been covered).

All the best

Rowan

With a little help from a modeling friend:

Go get 'em Mark, that Harrier looks fun to me! Russell

P.S. Right scale too!

Hi again

Postie delivered one I've really been looking forward to today:



And the nice surprise was... no import duty or handling charge to pay.

All the best

Rowan

Very fine purchase Rowan, will you be reviewing it?
H.

Hi Harry

Happily there's no need - Stephen's already done the honours HERE. For once I can just look forward to building a kit without worrying about doing a review.

All the best

Rowan

Airfix's lovely Sea Vixen arrived yesterday. Nicely molded, save for some annoying ejection pin marks. I must say, the sprues and gates are remarkably huge! Nevertheless, I feel like clearing the bench and doing a strictly OOB build on this one. All I need now is a Classic Airframes Sea Venom and an Airfix Buccaneer to complete the set -- well, maybe a Phantom, too?
Bill

Hi Bill

All being well, Pavla's cockpit upgrades for the Sea Vixen will be with us soon, so watch out for the review.

Postie delivered a fantastlc bundle of cockpit instrument and placard decals courtesy of Airscale today. I'll get cracking on the reviews ASAP:



All the best

Rowan

A couple of items came my way over the last couple of weeks via postie from Mexico (decals) and via a model show.

Hi Gang

some nice arrivals over the past week or so. Today I got a parcel from Karaya with 5 sets of Spandau MGs in 48 scale and this booklet:



Past week I got the Macchi M.5 from Freightdog models (Blue Max range)



and some decals from Pheon for that very model (also some wheels and legs for the Albatros D.V ... 3 sets each)

My living room with my small library is setup as of saturday and my models are in their shelves since yesterday no damage to them --- as I told you J-L .. the ZU-23-2 Flak was just my own stupidity (BTW the Flak 30 and 38 are under developement from ACE)

more on order ......

all the best

Steffen

My lastest haul




Cheers Nick

Hi again

There was an exciting delivery from Pavla today:



A couple of golden oldies in the shape of their Buffalo and Wyvern detail sets, but of course the big news is the brand new cockpit upgrade for the Airfix Sea Vixen. I'll get on with reviews this week.

All the best

Rowan

Hi again

Postie must be working overtime today! Now new upgrade sets from SBS have just arrived - Ar 234 wheel-wells and a complete Ki 84 cockpit:



It looks like I'm in for a busy week at the review-desk!

All the best

Rowan

Hi yet again!

I think poor Postie must be getting fed up with calling at Castle Aeroscale today! When I got home at tea-time, there was yet another mystery package waiting - this time containing a birthday present from Santa Luc!



Many thanks Jean-Luc!

All the best

Rowan

Been waiting for a few days for these two kits. I can now enlist in my next two campaingns (P-40 the Work Horse of WW ll and the Zerstorer (Destroyer) heavy fighters)




Not to sure of the makings yet but looking forward to building them.

Martin

Nice kits you folks are getting! I might have to go to the old meat grinder machine and churn out a few bills; take my chances on getting spanked. I want one of those new Trackers.

Hi Gang

this is some stuff of the past week or so. A lot of goodies for the Jag, but I still could not find a kit for a price that I like (I always get overbid on Evilbay) ... anyway, at least I have the paragon stuff and teh decals I like.

The Tamiya Pz.II is a gem as is the brand new LiF 18....



all the best

Steffen

Hi all,

Doh! I was at T2M yesterday and forgot to ask about the Pz.II...

This is what I picked up there...



This is a book I have seen in Steffen's library and I couldn't resist buying it afterwards. It is a must have if you are interested in the Afrika Korps and the Hs 126...



Jean-Luc

Picked up at a show last weekend.




Plus a few review items received from Jean-Luc by 'Brengun' watch the review pages.

Picked this up at the local LHS today Unfortunatly I asked him to order it for me a month ago. Called him twice to see if it was in Found it today sitting on the shelf with all his other kits He never called to let me know it had come in I need a or At least now I can get started on the Spitfire campaign. Hope I can get it done in time.

Got my precision punch & die set from Roll Models today ... neat stuff

cheers

Steffen

The postman didn't deliver it, but I picked up the 1/32nd Tamiya F-16 and current issue of Combat Aircraft today at Sprue Brothers.

It's been a while since I got a haul of this magnitude. From the annual Model Expo that's being held this weekend.

That potential mystery item under the Lifecolor paint set is a Model Kasten zimmerit tool set.

But man, finally! I've been wanting to get a Hold & Fold for quite a while. That's some sweet looking gnarly tech dudes!

Now let's see tomorrow just how well I can resist the temptation of that Eduard MiG-21MF...
I got a funny feeling one might end up following me home.

Resistance is futile!




btw have you seen Eduards Brassin cockpit for the Mig-21MF on their facebook site ....

cheers

Steffen
