Martinnfb Posted April 24, 2020 Posted April 24, 2020 This arrived today, a gift from Carl, I can’t even say how so bloody grateful I am. Thank you! 6 1
1to1scale Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 I finally got my PZL P.11 from Europe today, and I got my Hasegawa Zaxis yesterday. Yes I have a weird fascination with excavating equipment. 10 1
Guest Dekenba Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 Just got my despatch note for the HB A-26B. I've managed to avoid adding to the stash for many months - except for a Revell Ju88 on Ebay that was just too cheap to pass up - but this is one I am really looking forward to. I know the engines are short of a cylinder or two, that the cowling shape isn't quite right, but I always get AM engines anyway (I've got a pair of resin double wasp's somewhere already. Somewhere.), and as it's being built for nobody but me - and I'm happy with it - any dodgy bits just don't bother me. (I can hear the sound of modellers all over the world keeling over and hitting the floor at the idea of building a kit with known flaws!)

[...] I know the engines are short of a cylinder or two, [....] 4 per engine., and 8 in total, to be precise .... And the too-conical shape of the cowlings goes well with the undernumbrered engines. I’ d keep an alert on Shapeways for correctly-shaped cowlings, to house your AM R-2800s, if I were you . I’m sure there soon will be some. Hubert 2
BlrwestSiR Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 After looking at Harv's setup, I finally ordered the Arttystation bench organizer. I debated between it and the Hobby Zone ones. Having a couple Hobby Zone units already, I decided to try the Arttystation. It arrived earlier this week. The change led to a completely new workbench as I was able to get a new table for free. It's about 6" longer than the existing one but with having to share the bench with my boys now, that could make a slight difference to how much more room I have to clutter up. Carl 3
Bomber_County Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 we need a build log Carl, step by step dowel by dowel......... 3 1
BlrwestSiR Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 Phil, I'll see what I can do but I've already started assembly. I'm also going to be modifying one module so that may be worth documenting. Also, Harv did a WiP which is what convinced me to get this. Carl 3

DocRob Posted April 27, 2020 Posted April 27, 2020 Today the first of my four panic buys arrived. WNW Albatros D.V/D.Va 'Wooden Wonders' and Aviattic Lozenge and HGW wood decals and seat belts. This offering is a little different to what I've seen from other WNW offerings. You get a generic D.V/D.Va manual which ends with the rigging diagram. The paint and decal suggestions are on separate four page manual. You have to pay a little bit more attention to the manual, while doing your specific Albie, because of it's generic make up, you have to keep in mind, if yours is a D.V or D.Va and who build it, … The top of the box is matte carton with an added sheet on the side, showing the marking options. In other words, hey I'm happy to get my first Albatros and the first of my four WNW stash extensions. Cheers Rob 5 1
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted April 28, 2020 Administrators Posted April 28, 2020 After seeing Jeroen’s amazing build, I decided to have a go of the Trumpeter Wellington. I bought it used, and it came with just about every PE and resin bit known to man... 9
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted April 28, 2020 Administrators Posted April 28, 2020 Several months ago, after hearing that someone else was going to pull the pin on an HPH bomber, I thought that if I don’t do it and give the Peacemaker a family member, I’d forever regret it down the road. The Peacemaker build is well on its way now, so eventually, she’ll have an ugly cousin to keep her company. 8 1
Martinnfb Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 Holy smoking Jozef, that looks like furniture boxes from Ikea 5
lestab Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 Got this a couple of days ago. Not sure if I will ever build my 1/200 or 1/350 Bismarck but at least I have good references!! Fantastic books. 7 1

Albeit it a very, very expensive barricade - and you bought two?! Such a big investment means only one thing - an injected plastic 1/48 B-36 is inevitably going to be released very soon..

I like your plan! The closet is the resin closet, where the resin kits live. I never thought about barricading myself in before, but it’s brilliant! That second one isn’t a B-36.... 6
BlrwestSiR Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 Ernie's getting Buffed! And I thought my idea of the paper model B-52 in 1/33 was crazy. 3
Bomber_County Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 Well and truly buffed............saw this at Telford.......big yes.......ugly........depends who you talk to............. 5

I keep hoping they'll come out with the B-47, and if they do, I'll be extremely happy indeed. Once I'm done the 36, I tyhink I'd regret not getting the other, so here we go. I have the space at the office, and they'll look good there. 7
Vandy1 VX-4 Posted May 2, 2020 Posted May 2, 2020 I just received a badly crushed Iorn Maiden Spitfire from England 7

If the plastic is still good, then build it. I finished mine a couple months ago 5
