belugawhaleman Posted April 4, 2022 Posted April 4, 2022 Got the companion piece to my DSPIAE circle cutter today; The "Stepless Adjustment Circular Cutter Locator". It should add a little more versatility to my circle cutter; allowing It to cut concentric circles for roundels and the like. Again, it is a quality tool, albeit a very simple one. Also arriving today; eight bottles of Tamiya LP-24 semi-gloss clear lacquer. I'm looking forward to trying both products out. 4

A bit of physical exercise is not the worst for us bench hunched individuals . Earnestly, it's about exchanging words and not blows about such an unimportant important thing, like modelling.

The only WNW kit I'm really missing is a wood clad two seater, either the LVG or better, the Albatros B.II. On the other hand, my stashed WNW kits will give me enough exciting bench time, but the 'want to have-pang' is there . Have fun with the kit. Cheers Rob 6

belugawhaleman Posted April 6, 2022 Posted April 6, 2022 Got this today: A Copper State Models kit #35005 Italian Armoured Car 1ZM. Again, A nicely molded, packaged, and presented kit of a very interesting subject. 5
Bomber_County Posted April 6, 2022 Posted April 6, 2022 In preparation for retirement, I thought whilst I am still gainfully employed I’d better bolster the stash level. Been astutely foraging through eBay I’ve found and successfully bid on another gem. At present for the last five eBay purchases I’m averaging 50% RRP and all have been sealed bagged not started kits. The stash level has now reached the dizzying heights of 20….… I know it’s paltry but going to try and grow for the future albeit secondhand…… 5 1

I also have been building up a stash for the past few years; probably more than I'll ever finish, my output of finished models not being that many. I haven't tried Ebay yet. There are a lot of Takom models that are difficult to source and I've seen some of these listed on Ebay. The only Dragon kit I built was that big German bicycle I built a while back, I enjoyed that. I have a Dragon 1/16 figure to build that looks pretty good. 3

Expand I remember now; about two years ago, my mother purchased for me as a gift a Takom's 1/6 ft17 ---the one with the Berliet or hexagonal turret. I was surprised as I haven't seen this version for sale anywhere since then. She got it for a good price I think. 1

Landlubber Mike Posted April 8, 2022 Posted April 8, 2022 I don't usually post what comes in the mail as you all might think I have some kind of mental condition, but pretty excited about this - Special Hobby's Siebel Si 204D. I tend to like the work horse subjects when it comes to planes (like the Ju52) and ships (like the auxiliary ships). Got the full aftermarket including Eduard's BigEd set and a bunch of CMK aftermarket improvements and figures. The CMK engine set looks especially cool. Should be a fun build when I ever get to it. 5 3

Cheers Rob Expand The Fokker is my favourite WWI plane so when I found the MikroMir kit I had to pick it up. I saw your build and the struts are a bit nerve wracking even with the Aerocraft brass ones that I have. I will have to just brave them one day and build it. 4
BlrwestSiR Posted April 9, 2022 Posted April 9, 2022 I got my first order in from Spot Models in Spain. Very nicely packaged and the prices seemed very reasonable too. These should be a huge improvement over the Trumpeter kit ones. Wheels for my road going 935 project. Unfortunately the kit wheels are a much larger diameter than the ones in the 934 so I may have to shuffle things around a bit. 6
