Squadron, Scale hobbyist, and I think Sprue brothers Have them in stock Indeed, good news, I want a Kingfisher too, thanks for the news. Nobody seems to have them in Europe. Wait and see...

BlrwestSiR Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Got a package from Ireland yesterday. Another new kit from Thunder Models. These guys need to stop releasing interesting subjects. They even include a booklet on the LRDG and its usage of the F30. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterpools Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 PW Enjoy .. I had the kit from the moment Trumpeter let it literally fly and also a full boat of AirScale and ANZY AM for it. Only AM I need to still buy are Yellow Wing decals as the kits NAT insignia are too small. Looking forward to your upcoming build. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GusMac Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 And another one courtesy pf the ever generous Ernie. Not only the kit but also the full accessory pack. Really looking forward to this but might be a while given how long I think the Viggen might take me. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belugawhaleman Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 A few things today: First from an outfit called Evan Designs, https://evandesigns.com/collections/hobby-leds. A lighting kit for that Pegasus Martian kits' big eye . a LED set (NHP1) with a"Nano" Led, wiring, switch, and a battery holder for a coin-type battery. Next; Some Leveling thinner. Always need that. Last; from Pegasus hobbies, Their Alien Tripod (No. 9005) supposedly in 1/144 scale. This thing, when complete, stands 15 inches tall! (38.1 cm) kits available from Monsters in motion. https://www.monstersinmotion.com 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Nice haul Paul. I had a great time dealing with Evans. They answered all my questions and helped me make sure I had ordered the right LEDs and accessories for my lighting project. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of interesting stuff offered with great explanations of each product. For now, I'm just going to make that 1/8 martians eye glow. This new tripod kit has a lot of potential in terms of lighting... With many YouTube videos showing how its done. The 48th scale '53 war machine demands to be lit. I was also pondering using luminescent paint charged by UV led lights...if that could work. Also perhaps glow tape or side glow fiber optic...We'll see . I started working on my neglected Andy's Sherman again, but as a simple side project, any of these kits would be great. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I received my order from Reskit today. It's for kits in the stash already. They even threw in a bonus figure. As always, I'm in awe how they can design and manufacture their products in their current situation. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
