    I lucked out. The two I have were gifts. One I won in the draw here from our esteemed Ernie and the other was from my boys.

    One nice thing about the Border Lancs is that they can be built with the outer half of the main wing removable. There's a natural break in the wing between the engines and Border has modeled it that way.

    I'm going to be using the glass from a pair of Ikea Detolf display cases we have in the living room at the moment. I did one a couple years ago that's 32" wide and 14" deep doing the same thing but the new one will be twice as deep. So this but twice as deep: Hopefully the new one will fit the Lanc as I've got 4 of them to go in plus a B-17 and B-24.

    Ron, my wife would probably do the same but not necessarily in that order.

    Peter, If Andy comes out with a VVSS Sherman in 1/16, I'll most likely get one of those. He's almost there with his Easy 8 Sherman and the VVSS suspension in the Achilles/M10 kits coming out. He just need to combine the two.

    Nice to see I'm not the only one running out of display space. I'm probably going to try and build a new display cabinet in the next few weeks before it gets too cold to do any woodworking. It's got to be big enough for a 4 engine heavy. Carl

    Peter, definitely lots of reading to come. The interesting part is the book set (there's 2 volumes) is labelled Volume 1. As for Shermans, I've got a couple in the stash but they're all British Firefly 17 pdrs.

    The Mossie looks great Phil. I can't recall if you're going to leave it with the panels off or not?

    If anyone wants to see what else is coming out, Hobby Dengeki has a show summary. It's in Japanese but Google translate should help. https://hobby.dengeki.com/hobbyshow/

    The All Japan Hobby Show is on and Tamiya have shown their new F-35B in 1/48. It's not a re-box of the Italeri kit. In flight display option. My LHS has it up for pre-order for $135 CAD so probably around $100 USD.

    Just saw a 1969 MGB plugged in at an EV charger. It had a full electric conversion which had been done in Australia. The way of the future?

    Great work Ron. Looking at the hatches, it's hard to believe the crew were expected to enter and exit through them over the transmission housing.

    Started working on the Andromeda build again. I need to add her two escort ships to her. I've been procrastinating about the paint for them as one is moulded in colour while the other isn't. I finally stopped worrying and just started painting. So far they look the same so I guess it worked.

    The upgrades to the T-72 look great. Small touches but they really add up.

    Thanks for sharing the pics of some very great looking models. Looks like it was a fantastic show.
  17. BlrwestSiR
    I've done it over white primer. Looked ok so I guess it worked.
  18. BlrwestSiR
    Looks like a small forest in there.

    Thunder Models has a 1/32 tractor coming next month. Full engine detail and optional side panels. If it's like their other kits, should be a nice model.

    Here you go John: https://laminarflowdesign.com/gb/ He's currently sold out. He makes them in batches of 60 and then puts them up for sale. He's on his second run and the third should be out I think around the end of October.

    Oh nice! A Galileo shuttle.
  22. BlrwestSiR
    That doesn't look like a 66 Mustang.

    Great job on a pig of a kit. Sorry to have made the easy build hard for ya. @Martinnfb is trying the same thing on me with the P-51A I bought for $16.
  24. BlrwestSiR
    Here you go. Hasegawa G6 with most of the Cutting Edge resin bits thrown at it.
