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... Cheers Rob 3
BlrwestSiR Posted January 19, 2024 Posted January 19, 2024 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
Martinnfb Posted January 19, 2024 Posted January 19, 2024 I almost forgot how small the 1/48 scale really is. 7

Peterpools Posted January 19, 2024 Posted January 19, 2024 48th isn't that small, just needs a bit more help in the vision category for me. 4

PanzerWomble Posted January 20, 2024 Posted January 20, 2024 Arrived today courtesy of a very generous Ernie . Thank you so much , I built a Devastor in my youth and always loved the yellow corrugated wings. I shall endeavor to to this one justice later in the year. 12
Peterpools Posted January 22, 2024 Posted January 22, 2024 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

This is what I meant in my ‘generosity’ thread. This is so incredible. Amazing guys here Jeff 5
GusMac Posted January 22, 2024 Posted January 22, 2024 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
belugawhaleman Posted January 22, 2024 Posted January 22, 2024 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
BlrwestSiR Posted January 23, 2024 Posted January 23, 2024 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

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
BlrwestSiR Posted January 23, 2024 Posted January 23, 2024 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
