Martinnfb Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Not to brag about obtaining unobtainable, but….. and 1/24 instrument panels from the RedFox Studio 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belugawhaleman Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Coming today..... From Takom, in 1/16 scale, is their Kleiner Panzerbefehlswagen 1 Sd.Kfz.265 3 in 1. An interesting little tank. A radio equipped commander vehicle, it must have been highly vulnerable with just the one machine gun... Offered in three versions in the kit; one having the big external antenna as seen on the box art. I saw archive footage of a bunch of these radio tanks parading around on a field in pre-war Germany the other night....I also saw these in archival footage of the invasion of France. Wnat we need now is a 1/16 Char B1 bis tank.....Man! I'd like to see that! Anyway, looks like a cool kit. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterpools Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Martim The two books sure are a find. Some mighty nice Red Fox Panel Sets. Love to see you install one in your next build and then we can all look to compare them with Quinta Studio. Keep 'em comin Peter 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlrwestSiR Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 A recent kit release. LZ Models had a pre-order bonus of a resin driver and tires so I picked it up from them. The box got a bit smushed but the plastic is all good. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up front with the panzer divisions but just rear of the direct engagement. More armour than the Panzerspähwagen (though only to protect against small arms fire), yet just as quick and manoeuvrable while also tracked allowing great cross country capability - so as to avoid unnecessary direct entanglements with AFVs. The bow machine gun was for close defence against infantry - but there are several observation ports that can be used for close defence also. An odd looking thing, but surprisingly useful in 1939-40!

belugawhaleman Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Glue, lots of it. Well, glue and cement really. I've been looking for a good PVA glue and I heard good things about ZAP Formula 560 so I thought I'd give it a try. I also bought some of the old Plastruct Plastic weld because I mistakenly thought the big Andy's Sherman may have had some ABS parts....I'm sure I'll find a use for it. Most importantly, I purchased seven bottles of Tamiya's Extra thin Quick Setting after noticing that it was back ordered on a few sites. A panic purchase? Well, you might say....perhaps. Hobbylinc had it on sale at $ 3.84 for the quick setting. Have you seen the ridiculous prices for this stuff on Amazon? Jeez!! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's gone up a bit but Great Hobbies has a flash sale and it's $8.49 a bottle CAD until tomorrow. Which is what, $5-6 USD? Basically almost all Tamiya is 15% off until then. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill_S Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Got a really good price on this one off Amazon. I was at Noreastcon in Albany on Saturday. I picked up a 1st (Tamiya A6M2) and a 3rd (Pfalz D.IIIa). They had a pretty good vendor area. I got this for a decent price. Dana Bell was there; I missed his talk, but I picked up one of his books in the raffle. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice catches Bill, I have the Göring Fokker as well, but I will build it in another livery. The Pfalz was my first WNW built and was absolutely enjoyable. The Komet was a completely different experience. I wanted to build the 'Kraftei' closed up, but couldn't get all the fuselage parts aligned properly. Could have been my fault, but care has to be taken to get better results, I guess. Yesterday, I took the half finished 163 out of the box and considered to bin it or to make a semi crash landing dio out of it.

The quality of the castings, of the detailing, of the engraving, is simply outstanding. We are in Fisher or Lukgraph territory here, gentlemen, no less. And to think this is achieved whilst suffering Orcs’ bombings and power grid cuts makes my admiration even greater for what Andreyi has done. When I see people on LSP equating the suffering of the Ukrainian people with the one of the Russian people, saying that not buying from a Russian company is « politics » (as if this is the same kind of politics as comparing two US Presidents), I am going to utter a very « political » statement here: just support Halberd Models. It’s not only a good citizen’s gesture, but even more one of the smartest modelling choices nowadays. Hubert 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
