Hubert, 20% off at Hobbyco Sydney.
Were you just in Sydney??? I could have sworn I saw you in the Queen Victoria building.
No, home in Portugal. Patricia and I envision going down under for our 10th wedding anniversary, but that’s not before 2023

Well, the hull inside is also almost kayak-sized
(1.35 meter or 53 inches to be precise)

In another thread, I mentioned how weak I was, piling up a number of « must buys » on my 2020 shopping list.
Well, I got the first of those, a rather smallish box, that fits nicely on my bench
Me very happy

Congrats on the #1 ...
... and enjoy your modelling time until then ... by experience, it then shrinks like snow in the sun for the following 20 or more years

Ok, I am weak

... And the Daco Fouga Magister ....
It’s gonna be yet another expensive year ... and to think I could also build all of those

It’s definitely a nice kit that could even make me want to build a target model one day
And what a neatly ordered bench in the background
!

Well, ok. I am even weaker than that
!
After seeing some pics and reviews, that showed some, of which a major one, mistakes had been corrected, I finally could not resist and ordered a newly released kit. Good news is I can get the - unbuilt- paper version I had vertically filed. Bad news is it is going to take a lot more space in the stash than the paper kit...
Let the guessing game begin until the (very) big box arrives and is posted in the « What did you just get » thread
Hubert
PS: another piece of good news is that the many books I have on the subject can at last be put to good use !

In spite of your injunction, yes, you're slow
!
AS-12 is also very good for "Speed Silver" IMHO.
Hubert
PS: and, as usual with Tamiya rattle cans, I prefer to use them through the AB, after decanting. You get a better control of the flow than straight out of the rattle can.

Just pre-ordered the Special Edition (with eXtra PE, Master gun barrels, and a resin pilot) from Plastmodel.pl
When I checked out - on monday evening - they still had 3 Special Edition and 12 standard kits available ( which means they expect a number of boxes to arrive soon)

Sorry to read this mate
You’re a fighter, and a model of strength and wit for so many. I know you’ll keep up and fight back. I, as so many, am standing on your side.

So, what exactly is the prize for showing what's on my bench? Cuz there's a LOT of stuff on my bench, and that would be a big effort!!
You will earn our collective condideration, and THAT does mean something

They are Amazon's greatest competitor on a worldwide basis.
I used them once for a paper model, and got my item. So positive in that sense. My wife who buys a lot of scrapbooking dies uses them sometimes, but prefers Wish's service. I wouldn't touch Wish personally, even with a six-feet pole. Conclusion, each one's mileage may vary. But, as far as AliExpress are concerned, they probably did not reach their dominant position without a good reason and a sound business model and customer service ...

Well, it looks like the project for a DH-89 Dragon Rapide I initiated will never see the light of day, in the end. But the good news is Lukgraph will soon release a 1/32 kit
! My dream is fulfilled, even if this launch means my investment of a few years back seems wasted ...

I hope the project I initiated but then decided to let someone else complete it - in the hope it would be done faster, if at all - will come to see the light of day: the DH-89 Dragon Rapide
Although, judging by the slow returns of the guy who is supposed to have taken over, I am not that optimistic nowadays ...

The hard way is to airbrush a few clear colors on it, you can get clear colors from Tamiya and MRP to name a few, however, the easiest way is to us Tamiya weathering powders, they make one set that has metallic blue, red, and smoke, perfect for heat staining engines.

The question is : does this cost more or less than an eye make-up set ? This looks awfully like my wife's ...
Most likely, women are even more ripped-off than modellers

Zlin/Let Z-37 Cmelak in 1/32 !

So good to see something that is not laden with guns and bombs (although this one was lethal for bugs, and, indirectly, birds ... )
Looks like a nice kit and a nice complement to my resin 1/32 Wilga ...
