Artful69 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 That Walrus looks interesting. lol Brad, believe me ... it is! ... I saw it on an in box review and a build thread - a resin kit and it looks more impressive IRL - and those in that photo are my 1st three ever ... so I will be waiting until I have an abundance of time before I try building any of them!!

Grant Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Rog, are you sure you didn't buy up the surplus stock from a model store ! You ARE going to busy, to coin a phrase from Rick! Wow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 So there I was, out shopping with "the enemy" when I was dragged kicking and screaming into a charity shop. Adopting the usual sulky stance when I somewhere I don't want to be when all of a sudden I spied the shop's bookshelves ... the long and the short of it is that for roughly £20 I bought these : (Sorry for the iPhone pictures by the way) .. Some of the "Aeroplane" Magazines have some amazing articles on certain aircraft restoration and, consequently, loads of great reference pictures - at £0.69p each they were a steal: This Spitfire book is in absolutely pristine condition and the contents aren't merely confined to the venerable Spit but also includes loads of other fighters too. These enamel badges arrived in the post yesterday ... I managed to find these beautifully enamelled Luftwaffe Unit badges (I've only one of each but I will try for more soon) and I'm thinking of offering them on a new "Miscellaneous / Militaria" page on the website: JG-1 JG-3 Udet JG-7 1/JG-1 I think they'll look nice on a plinth if you've built a model from that particular Geschwader or Gruppe, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artful69 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Rog, are you sure you didn't buy up the surplus stock from a model store ! You ARE going to busy, to coin a phrase from Rick! Wow. lol Grant ... Wait till you see whats coming in the mail over the next month!! ... quite a bit more than whats on here to date!! (a couple still on route from the UK, Some stuff from USA and some from over east) ... still some left in the budget though for some more kits and AM: PE, correction sets, barrels, decals and tracks!! although the rate of purchases will be slowing down just a tad Rog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave J Posted September 5, 2013 Author Share Posted September 5, 2013 Those pins are awesome! Where abouts did you get those! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Great aren't they - sadly numbers are limited and those are the only versions available but if there are any amongst them that you want then let me know and I'll see what I can do, the enamel is superbly done and they have a "weight" to them if you get my meaning ... they are NOT cheaply made or tacky in appearance.

One-Oh-Four Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Switching from Luftwaffe pins back to the Pacific GB: I bought some stuff to highlight the Dutch participation in this theatre. Since I already have Hasegawa's P-40N with the goodies I need I purchased the HK B-25J Glass nose with the Profimodeller nose weight ( I know, not too hard to do by one's self but what's easier than putting in the right amount of weight that's already made to fit?), the Profimodeller .50 barrel set A (this set contains the flash-hiders on the fuselage-mounted .50's), the SAC landing gear (I'm not really fond of these products but I guess it's just neede to carry the weight of the kit), the HGW PE seats with belts & buckles, the Brassin wheel set and Squadron's Walk-Around. For markings I'll use Flevo Decals' set 32-008 "ML-KNIL 1942-1947 Pt. 2. I also purchased the Special Hobby "Dutch & Japanese model 339C/D Buffalo". That one requires almost no additional aftermarket. I'll only use the aforementioned Flevo Decals to replace the orange triangles with the Dutch tricolor. After Japan commenced hostilities, this was done because it was feared that the orange triangle would be too easily confused with the Japanese Hinomaru. For background info I'll use Dutch Decal's Dutch Profile Brewster B-339C/D/23. So it seems I have my work cut out for me!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One-Oh-Four Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Thanks for the advice, Matt! I'll get some of the Eduard sets too! I expect this'll be a "only once" model, so why not go the whole 9 yards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
