1to1scale Posted September 29, 2019 Posted September 29, 2019 This is my latest acquisition, although not very expensive, I have been looking for this boxing for a very long time. This one took a month to ship from Japan, but finally came yesterday. 7
Jackster Posted September 29, 2019 Posted September 29, 2019 Birthday, next week, so the kids got me these between them. I am enjoying the Universal Carrier and Six Pounder albeit very slowly so thought I would continue down the armour route for now. 6

He does look a little timid there but if he's been fighting off that mob above I can't blame him. Expand He's incredibly affectionate. He ended up sleeping between me and Sue last night which was unexpected but very nice. He's almost certainly a house cat as he knew how to use a litter box and just seems so content being indoors.

Artful69 Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 A fair whack of my final book order arrived today with a surprise ... I rang Booktopia the day after the mysterious "lost" parcel from Amazon arrived ... and I cancelled the 2 books on the B.25 and on the Bf.110, Me.210 and 410 I was given a PayPal refund ... Heres todays deliveries ... And ... a free inclusion ... The books are well filled out ... So now I have 2 books on the Mitchell !!! Rog 6
BlrwestSiR Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 I found the B-25 book helpful on my builds of the HK model. Carl 3

Rog Expand That B-25 book is amazing, and a perfect companion to the A-20 volume (or vice versa - either way it works! ) on the A-20, if you’ve any interest in the SW Pacific campaigns, I recommend this book for your collection as well: 4

Expand The Achilles was an upgunned M10 tank destroyer. The Brits yanked the 76mm gun and dropped in their 17pdr the same way they did to the Sherman to create the Firefly. 6
Artful69 Posted October 3, 2019 Posted October 3, 2019 Final box from Booktopia ... This book looked interesting ... Pretty chunky with pic's and text ... Rog 5

Jeff Posted October 3, 2019 Posted October 3, 2019 Rog, there is some heavy duty reading there................ the B 25 book sure looks enticing....................probably cost as much as a REAL B 25 to ship to Canada I bet.... 4

Administrators Clunkmeister Posted October 4, 2019 Administrators Posted October 4, 2019 Yeppers, Reichs-Ausschuß für Lieferbedingungen und Gütesicherung 6013. I always wondered what the European standard “RAL” stood for. Wikipedia is your friend. impossible to find color up till recently S-92, S-199 and others. Yum! 2
BlrwestSiR Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 Well, since the site is called Large Scale Modeller I thought this would be appreciated. Inside the shipping box: The idea of a large scale Valkyrie from my favourite anime series coming out has to be easily the top of my Grail list. Just wasn't expecting it in 1/20 scale. Here it is compared to a HB B-24: Now to figure out where to stash it. Anyone got a spare dishwasher box I can stick it in? 5
BlrwestSiR Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 Forgot, one more pic of what the model looks like: 6
