Some items has arrived on my doorstep lately.

First, sheer madness, a 1/43 Williams FW 16 from MFH. I will need super magnification  for that kit, but I was tempted by a fellow modeler over on MSW to try one of the little things.



only to show the size, my thick thumb and the tiny, luckily pre printed tyres along.



I pulled the trigger on another 1/20 F1 car. This time the Lotus type 88b from Ebbro. I got it for a good price and because the Ebbro kits are more and more hard to find, I´m quite lucky. The kit has also pre printed tires, which is very helpful and seems to be of very good quality.



Last but not least some contraband . It becomes almost impossible to get greater jars than 30ml to my place. There are no hobby shops around and I have only one vendor left, who supplies me with thinner and primer in larger quantities. I´m very thankful for that Robotines.com.



Cheers Rob

Great Items Rob! Sad to hear about Ebro....I was interested in the Citroen;

both the DS and the delivery trucks. The DS 19, especially the early ones

are a favorite of mine. The Mr. Tool Cleaner looks useful... May try that! 1/43 scale...I think that's about the same scale of the Corgi cars

I had as a kid..right?

Mail delivery day!!!  
First up is a new part from Tim at B&B resin.  No longer have to pay those inflated eBay  prices for a Hasegawa P-40K! Tim has come out (with a little persuasion I’ll add) an improved K tail  Now you can simply buy the abundant E kit and decals of your choice!  Now I just need to sneak another E kit in under the radar.   

 

Second up is one of my Christmas raffle prizes.  Big thanks out to Fran. 
 

Okay, I feel bad now because I didn’t post pics of the haul I got from Chris.   I’ll follow up with that one later.  
 

And this final item might just be the final nail in my coffin.  You see, I use to fly RC back in the 1990’s.  I made a deal with the wife I’d give it up and build the ‘66 Mustang.  I sold off everything but one kit I still have. One day it will be a display piece.  
But lately I’ve been thinking about getting a small backyard RC airplane again.  Tiny. Not even interested in going whole hog like I did back in the day.  But I still love the old 4 cycle glow engines and wanted one just incase I get my hands on a small airplane kit.  I’ve discovered the hobby has gone to hell in a hand basket with all the low budget foam ARF planes and electric power now.  Figured I’d grab a motor while I could since Saito discontinued to .30 a while back.  If I do this, I want the smell of nitro burning in the morning!  But I found this NIB Saito .30 out of Australia. 

It’s so tiny!  Just under 9 oz.  Yep, this might be a slippery slope I’m going down!
