I really like the ResKit stuff, great quality and a steadily widening portfolio. I want to try Kelik 3D decals for my Gloster Gladiator. Seems to be affiliated with ResKit.

belugawhaleman Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Another WW 1 subject. This time a Cannon. A French Schneider 155mm. in 1/35 scale from Das Werk. The kit box is filled with a multitude of microscopic and delicate-looking parts and appears to be very well-molded. There's also some tiny photo-etch parts included. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

belugawhaleman Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Another big gun......A Skoda 30.5 cm howitzer from Takom. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belugawhaleman Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Yet another howitzer. This time from Polish maker IBG Models in 1/35 scale. A Skoda 100 mm. VZ 14/19 as used by the Polish army post WW 1. It looks like a decent kit, and it includes a turned aluminum barrel. This kit will build up Into a tiny model ! A good weekend project, simple, but well-detailed. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's more about consistency in the collection for me. Most of my plane kits are 1/32. It's certainly the largest part of my stash. That being said, I've been leaning towards taking a page from Ernie and switching my jets to 1/48, especially with the newer kits coming out like the Tamiya and ZM F-4s, the Tamiya Tomcat and the Minibase Sukhois etc. I haven't taken the plunge yet because in the case of the F-4s and Tomcats (my favourite jet) I've already got them in 1/32 with a ton of AM collected. Might just have to one day especially after seeing of the WiP on here. So like you said, it depends on the subject and what's available.

Carl Carl Completely agree with the majority of my stash now being 48th scale jets, props 48 & 32 about even in number and 72nd starting to come on board as well. Just so much more available in 48th scale these days as that seems to be is where the manufactures are focusing their resources on. .

Jackster Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 First buy of the New Year, despite saying I will build what I have first! A very rare foray into 1/72! Can also see the 1/48 Anson and 1/48 Bucc from Airfix appearing as well. Also have the 1/35 K2 ambulance on pre order. I would love a DH Dove or Devon in 1/48 as well.

BlrwestSiR Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Waiting for me when I got home from work today was my first Great Wall Hobby kit. I took a quick peek in the box. The detail is very nicely done. You can't complain about the decal placement sheet being too small. The kit also has a nice patch included in it. It looks very nice overall. Just need to finish some other stuff first.

One option in the kit is the way they display the engine. The entire nose is a separate section and you can swap between the closed up nose or the exposed engine on the airframe. The engine can be displayed separately on a stand too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 FedEx left a big box on our steps this morning. My oldest son's birthday gift was in it. Here be dragons... Since there was room in the box for other stuff without increasing the shipping, I added a couple items. Carl 4 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
