rkranias Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 That's awesome Rick. Nice AM sets there yes, in addition to other recent acquisitions. Going to have some fun.
ArnieC Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 I bought the new 1/32 Bf-109 G early/late from Revell and a older reboxing from the Hasegawa 1/48 Harrier GR7/9 from Revell. Cheers, Arnold 2
Dave J Posted August 25, 2013 Author Posted August 25, 2013 I had some spare $$$.. . So a large box just arrived from Arrow Wolf which contained.... 3
Artful69 Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 ... Latest mail arrival ... A 1/32 Revell Ju88A-4 kit!!! ... Whoo-Hoo!!!! Rog P.S. ... She's a BIG box too!! 1
Dave J Posted August 27, 2013 Author Posted August 27, 2013 I have only had a quick look in the box... But I'm impressed how the fuse has been done
nmayhew Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 One will be built splayed open, the other built buttoned up to match the NASM Uhu. Holy crap what a big box! Its packed tight with spures Whats a kit without AM stuff. Brass cannon, metal undercarriage, weighted tires and PE for interior. Also some stuff for my Ta152. Might start one of these early '14. Wow that must have been a lot of $$$!! Did you get it from LuckyModel?
Guest Kagemusha Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 Nice one Andy That was off eBay right? Yep, from Bob in Poland, fast shipping and nicely packed. Probably get the Tempests and Buckeye from him too.
repeater Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 Not mine sadly Rog, although I wish those were indeed my supplies. I do have the tiny Tamiya swabs in my box which are pretty amazing but, being Tamiya, outrageously expensive Dave, I noticed that the swabs are from Gaia - Alex Glass mentioned Gaia to me recently; I'd never heard of Gaia paints etc but Alex rated them very highly. Have you used their paints? If so, what are they like? (I know you'd find it very difficult to source them outside of Japan) but if Alex rates them then my ears prick up in notice. Hi Grant, Gaia paints are available here in Hong Kong. I haven't used much, but my humble opinion.. their flat clear Ex-04 is very good - I use on a regular basis and it comes in a useful 50ml bottle. They have a range of metallics which look v. promising - I picked up the no. 123 star bright duralumin for some experiments with bare metal finishes.. Tim 1
rkranias Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 Wow that must have been a lot of $$$!! Did you get it from LuckyModel? it was painful, but in the planned budget.
Grant Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 Got this, so all the attention went to this... Shown on 29/6 and 23/8. More than tripled her weight. And I got this, my 2nd prize from the Arrow Wolf Messerschmitt Group Build, the Trumpeter Me 262A-1a. Found this nice scheme, like it...! Love this scheme George; very nice and clean looking too. Mocha's definitely getting larger .. either that or your ruler is shrinking
rkranias Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 I blame Matt (Doogs) and Dave J! USD$35 @ Amazon 2
Grant Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 I blame Matt (Doogs) and Dave! USD$35 @ Amazon Just in case ...... I got a feeling that if you look at Arrow Wolf for some gun bay details or cockpit interior sets for the F6F-3 then you might just find them 1
JeffH Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 I stopped in to my LHS for some supplies and found this on the "New Arrivals" shelf 1
JeffH Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 Matt...I almost grabbed it online but lately the LHS has been picking up mainstream releases....they're usually a little over-priced but I figure that's the cost of immediate gratification Plus when you add shipping and possible duty/taxes it can add up. This one was even sweeter because they had it listed at $54.95 CDN but I had a coupon for $25 ...well not a coupon, it's a loyalty program at my LHS,,,after you buy $250 worth of stuff they give you a voucher of $25...I had one from when I picked up the Tamiya Corsair...it gave me a bunch of points. Oh and they had the HKM B-17...a few years ago there's no way they would have had that. The box on that sucker is _huge_ a bit bigger than the Z-M He-219
nmayhew Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 VERY nice one Jeff! I "need" to get at least 2 of those , but cannot find it anywhere in UK / Europe at moment the E-3 is available for £35 free shipping from a UK seller however the E-7 is similar priced but from HK, and I will not risk paying another £10 to the thieves at the Royal Mail and Customs - so i would rather go without for the time being i am afraid
nmayhew Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 That and once these sell, they're almost impossible to find. So better safe than sorry maybe. very good point Matt

I bought my E-3 from here: http://www.modelhobbies.co.uk/shop/cyber-hobby-messerschmitt-bf109e3-3222-p-45006.html and apparently he has a few more in stock and my E-4's (two of 'em) from here: http://www.netmerchants.co.uk/product.php/17316/messerschmitt_bf109e4_wing_tech_series Well ... I bought 2 and they still have stock, so go figure!! Both in the sub 35 Pound mark (of course, I didn't pay VAT either - which is a bonus!) ... and both stores have no servicing issues as far as I can tell - I bought, they arrived!! Got my Revell Bf109G and a Ju88A-4 from the top one also! Cheers Rog

Obviously there won't be a turbo intake dust filter. Maybe you could get one moulded from someone who has the kit already (which I don't by the way).. Just in case you can't find one... Matt
