Soo.... What did you just get???

[PanzerWomble]

Couple of things 

 

Tamiaya's brand new 1/48 K2 Ambulance for Brit WW2 airfields ...or maybe a small Ice Cold in Alex dio ....

 

 

 

 

And also another random purchase of a subject most ignore .... I quite fancy a lil 'abandoned in the Ardennes' diorama ..we shall see 

Early Hobbyboss 2007 M4 HST . Moulding is a bit heavy but there are very few 1/35's of this subject available...a 1967 Nitto tooling and couple of unobtainable resin kits only . 

Wubber Twacks , wonder if some metal Stuart ones will fit . Photo etch and masks is a nice one . Engine might be a nice start for detailing .

Nice find and nice price.

Nice pair of kits Mark! I haven't seen the Stug out in Canada yet. Might have to wait for one of the shows next year to grab one.

This is actually a beautiful kit. Full interior etc. 

[Martinnfb]

Most impressive

Wow, much better looking than some of the converted RC kits that they have released.

Took my son's Edward to the LHS along with a friend of his who we had to buy a birthday gift for. Right before we get there, Edward says " Wait until you see how many models the shop has". His friend replies " You mean they have more than your dad in your basement?"

Is that a good thing?

I have Trumpeter 1/16 SU-100 waiting to be build.

I got a couple bottles of new paint in to try. 

Dspiae is making paint now. I have no idea on the quality but it's a lacquer based paint. I bought primarily metallics to try out plus the bottle of fluorescent red. 

They also have a thinner specifically for metallic paints so I thought I'd try that too and see what difference if any it would make.

Thanks for the update ... seems years ago we had so few paint companies and now, and abundance to choose from. Please do a short review on the paints and especially how they differ from all the other paint lines.  It's almost to the point now of having too many paint lines to choose from - if that's possible.

Met Mike Swinburne this afternoon for Tex Mex, raided Ernie’s stash, then beers at a lovely brewery.  He then pulled two beautiful kits out of his sleeve:  the brand new Westland Sea King, and the still warm from the mold machine Fairey Gannett, both by Airfix and both in 1/48.  Pics to follow, but ooooh what nice stuff Airfix makes today.  If you’re an FAA fan, this year has been a VERY good year.

Definite must buys, the Sea king, because it's my favorite Heli and the Gannet, well for quirkyness. The Gannet looks like a cross breeding, between an Avenger and a Skyshark, what's not to like about that.

Cheers Rob

Holy! I'm jealous as all getout! Both of those are high up on top of my wishlist!

Just arrived and I was amazed it was a Sunday delivery, of which I only paid for standard delivery.

Got that one in my stash....looks like a great kit!

[ScottsGT]

I remember a few years back someone was working on a 1/32 Fairey Gannet kit.  I was excited to hear about that one, but it seems to have fizzled out.

Ah yea, Flying S Models. Still on a back burner it looks like.

The Westland Sea King appears to be all Westland, at least according to those more knowledgeable in the subject, and, joy of joys, it comes with a folded rotor option.  That alone makes it digestible to me.

That Gannett is huge as well, but doesn’t include the radar version. Also, the only markings are FAA markings.  No Australian, German, or Indonesian markings.  I expect the radar bird is coming, and other National options will be available soon through AM….

I'm not an Oracle on all things Westland, but I have a depth of knowledge on it, and yes, it is all Westland built for sure. Lots of little details, that the discernible eye will see.

I will eventually get several. but not yet.

Fran, we try to get together at least once every time he’s in town. I’m not sure if it’s easy for you to get here from Portugal, but he should be back in March, so if you can make it…

6 bladed tail rotor. Westland air filters, TWO types of main bladed, extended or folded main and tail option, Westland sponsons, two options on British search radars and fixtures, AND a civilian Heli Operations of Dorset option, circa 2022.  I’m simply blown away, and I’m NOT a 1/48 guy, although this model will be close to the size of that 1/35 Blackhawk.
