I've recently been back into the modeling again. Well, more active in it- I never leave it. But lately there's been some Acquisitions , and I'm getting back to it. Hopefully some of the stuff arrives soon- today I should get my Minihobby JGSDF Type 90 tanks, and hopefully my...
no new kits lately, but i did order some N-scale trees, grass and styrene plasticard for a future project.

Have you opened the box yet (Scalemates proposed this is the same as the Spanish EKO kit - at least for the 109)? :lol:
At least 'accuracy' needed by the watch word, I think making the best possible outcome for these is the honourable goal here?
His just sharing, got the gashapon fever payed an small fortune to source and got this sets,
The only ones I wasn't able to get is the special edition of the first issue (when they began to paint canopies)
The first edition I got it, but without box.
They are really, really nice.

Just further to this topic, if you get your hands on any of the long-OOP Takara Wings of the Luftwaffe releases, there's a definite case for only touching up and putting seat belts in cockpits. The finishes on many of these were impeccable, with mottling most of us would...
Trying to limit my purchases here, but a few kits will find their way into my cupboard nonetheless whenever I see something unusual and relatively cheap.
The first addition in 2023 was a lot of up to three kits in one box, namely . There was no guarantee it would actually be a...

I was going to suggest the F-Toys A-6 or the Cafe Reo version might be better. However a quick look at Ebay and couldn't see any Cafe Reo versions and the F-Toys are listed at about £70.00 plus £25.00 postage!
Having looked at FoxOne kits for some years and never having taken the plunge I ordered their Lysander last week from HLJ together with the Kami De Korokoro Fairey Firefly. Excellent service from HLJ: ordered on the 18th delivered on the 22nd. From Japan. To Scotland. More often...

Price has always been an issue, both with Beaver and FoxOne. My two FoxOne kits, the and the , were both evilBay purchases where I paid a lot less than the retail asking price. Both are very nice but the original prices were out of my range. One long-OOP that I wouldn't have...
I just received another packageof 1/144-scale awesomeness from mtcc75 on Ebay today. Thank you Mark for the awesome service. You have gotten me hooked on the small-scale kits again!

I've heard that the cleaner got a job at the . Marbles? Damned kids' toys again! :twisted:
last week, i got a few new (cheap) kits from AliExpress:
-2 x Mini Hobby Models SAAB JAS-39 Gripen (rebox of Revell/trumpeter kit)
-2 x Mini Hobby Models Mirage F1C (Minicraft rebox)
still on order are (also AliExpress):
-2 x Mini Hobby Models P-51D Mustang (Minicraft rebox)...

If we do go with the Minicraft GB as is looking highly probable, the rules will most likely allow the Crown originals to be included (since they are identical, save the decals), so you've now got another three kits to choose from! ;)
Just picked up an HMA F-15 Eagle Plus from the Patlabor 2 movie for £10.00. Its been going for upwards of £50,00 so very pleased with the outcome. Got one already but (a) was wary of building and (2), in the movie there are two featured in a prominent intercept scene so an kinda...
After my little swag from Mark, I've added even further after a profitable (for me, not the seller) afternoon on evilBay in between teaching from home. Should point out that this wasn't due to any error on behalf of that seller ( imaus66 , a regular Japanese vendor whom a number...

Apparently the Amazon drivers are given such tight schedules that they dont have time (allegedly) to knock on the door and wait for you to answer. So they find the house and dump or toss the package somewhere that might be secure before jumping back in the van.
Not sure if they already showed up here in the forum before.
They were very cheap so I decided to buy a couple but had very low expectations.
I ordered the J-31, FC-1 and Q5-C. In less than two weeks they arrived.
They came in a...

I've bought other decals from the same Chinese evilBayer and they've been very good. Well printed, quite thin yet strong and adhere well to surfaces, settling down nicely with the usual setting solutions.
Well, the first of my two Miniwing MQ-9 Reaper drones arrived today. So far, I'm liking it, but it does look like some of the things I didn't like about my Miniwing L-159A kits are the same here, namely thst some of the fine detail parts are a little muddy.
The weapons are...

Nice build on the Reaper, Matt. :mrgreen:
One area of aviation that has gained a huge amount of attention due to the current Ukrainian conflict is obviously the widespread and clearly very successful use of drones. I suspect we will see more types appearing regularly in all...
Been planning on getting this for some time and finally found a listing at under £50 including postage so took the plunge. Very nice kit and have always liked the aircraft. Will be interesting to see one alongside its big brother the C-17 Globemaster.

Yes you are quite right, it does have the three tone grey scheme. Nice scheme but that is the only one available in the kit (which I assume reflects the real aircraft)
I wish I could but I'd be lying. Its a really nice kit. Sharply molded with tones of detail. Interior bay is...
Not to compare with Derpus’s recent lucky haul (what the heck is a Derpus anyway?) but I recently came into possession of a trio of Japanese fighter paired kits (yes, a trio of pairs!).
So I had replied to a small ad where someone sold a few kits due to giving up the hobby - very good prices. I wrote a nice message and mentioned which kits were interesting for me. Got a reply saying there are more, I could get a list and some pictures by the weekend. Waited for...
Wow, how much is this kit? Price wasn't listed on their site. Hopefully they get back in stock soon, I'd love to get one and put 4 1000 lb bombs in the belly! :mrgreen:
After a few years of minimal stash growth (well, the 1/144 stash, my Games Workshop stash has been growing pretty steadily) I have corrected the position big time....

With all those Mark I Harriers... Are you going to use all those wing tanks? I'm looking for a pair. ;) :lol:
Well as soon as FedEx gets around to delivering them... :roll: I recently found some more Pit-Road F-35A to add to the fleet, as well as one of Platz's new fantastic weapon sets. I can finally do that C-130 with the Daisy Cutter!

I just keep thinking, I have so much coming in lately, this thread could get almost daily updates. :lol:
I found a Hughes Defender/MH-6 on Shapeways, so I got a great project in mind, based on a pic I'd seen of a pair of them, so in my wargaming world, I'll be doing a pair of...
After seeing Marco's post about the Atlant I took the risk and bought it from an ebay seller in Ukraine. It was posted on February 16th and the last update on the tracking information was on the 23rd when it was loaded in the container and cleared by...
Speaking of resin kits, and resin kit makers, I just got this lovely kit.

Very nice cast resin parts, looks beautiful in the bags.
I believe FE Resin is long out of business? what news of their tooling and patterns?

Looks like it should be a fun build. I have the Sea King from Sweet- haven't built it yet.
Among some other more well-known kits in an order from Aviation Megastore which arrived today (very fast too :P ) were these unknown (to me) resin kits by BSD Designs which I decided to gamble on as these Dorniers were very much on my want list.

Hate to say the last surface mail I had from the UK actually took just under 7 months to arrive. Indeed, I thought it was lost but told the vendor I'd wait a bit longer just in case. Just wish I exhibited this level of patience when actually making models!
