Expand I always use Sandisk SD cards. I have another on the way so i'll be back taking pics next week. I got the D-11 conversion direct from Miloslav of Real Models as they don't ship to the UK via their website. But he very kindly gave me an option to purchase it and have it privately shipped. It'll be nice to do something different from the JV44 D-9's 2
Peterpools Posted February 16, 2023 Posted February 16, 2023 Alan Geez, that's unusual as ScanDisc SD cards are excellent. Shouldn't have assumed what brand of SD card you were using without first asking - my apologies. 1
Winnie Posted February 16, 2023 Posted February 16, 2023 Nothing BIG, but I got a few 48th kits... Eduard Royal Class Spitfire Mk.IX, Airfix Chipmunk, CA Gannett (Wanted it for YEARS, after I stupidly sold it), and a Tamiya F-35! Being a Norgie (Norwegian for those who don't slang), both the Spit and F-35 come with options for the same 132nd Air Wing, RNoAF, so I'll likely do those! Cheers, Feels good getting back on filling the stash rather than thinning it! 6 1
belugawhaleman Posted February 16, 2023 Posted February 16, 2023 Another arrival from Sprue Brothers of an offering from Takom. After purchasing their Male Mk I tank, I decided to go ahead and get the Takom WW I Heavy Battle Tank Mk I Female kit as well. Being a Takom kit; availability Is always an issue, and who knows if it will soon be sold out as their kits always are. The Female MK I has the grenade screen on top which, I think, looks pretty cool. Its made up of two big photo-etch parts and sits on a frame a top the tank. . Anyway, I now have a growing stash of WW I subjects including; items from Copper State Models, Meng, and Takom.......got to build one of these soon! 7 2

Winnie Posted February 16, 2023 Posted February 16, 2023 Oh I forgot to mention, I have a Kinetic F-86F on hold at my local purveyor of styrene, with the Golden Hawks stickers! Have built one before so I know what I'm getting. Now I just need to find some aftermarket for it! 3

BNA from Australia has some of the AMS stuff in stock for the kit. 7

Order the same version; AH64E. Would be cool to do a helicopter GB. I've been promising Oliver for years I'll build one and this is the kit that pushed me across the line. Just need a Quinta set and I'll be set. 5

belugawhaleman Posted February 19, 2023 Posted February 19, 2023 Got this today; supposed to work well with clear parts ....it's meant for repairing watch crystals It's G-S Hypo cement. It has a fine needle applicator that includes a fine wire attached to the cap that goes into the needle when not using. Upon inspection, I had to use my 3.5 power magnifying glasses to get the cap back on! Anyway, I've heard good things said about this stuff.....thought I'd give it a try. Anyone else used this stuff? Only thing the tube is very small ( 1/3 fluid oz.) 5 1
