JonathanReed Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 I knew this would happen. I've been wanting to build the 39 for eons and finally started it and opening up things while scratch building and WHAM! New kit! LOL Oh well learning and having fun with the Special Hobbies /Revell kit anyway. Thank for sharing!
Members Mikester Posted August 29, 2015 Members Posted August 29, 2015 Was in Akihabara for the first time in several months so I did a little damage: 1/32 Hasegawa Fw 190A-5/U7, special edition with Hermann Graf figure and resin supercharger intakes for the cowl 1/35 Tamiya Panther G, Late Production 1/35 Tamiya Sd.Kffz 234/2 Puma, (updated kit with PE) Mr. Color US Aircraft interior Color Set Gaia late war German AFV Color Set 1/32 Z-M Pliot and Ground Crew Set (2 pilots, 1 mechanic) Kabuki Tape 4
DarthLarson Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 Well after completing my D-13 build, I am beginning to see a D-11 build somewhere in my future. Very nice set produced by Montex, resin castings are excellent. Hope your castings are better than the three I purchased. All three suffered from massive shrinkage and nothing fit. I'm working on my own D-11 parts to use on my build.
One-Oh-Four Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 This one was delivered this afternoon. Great, because the pilots will convert to the bomber version! Plus I'll see if I can make castings of the throttle assembly, reel antenna winch and the radio set to use in the HK kit. 2
wackyracer Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 More extras for the HK Mossie. Exhausts look stunning!
One-Oh-Four Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 More extras for the HK Mossie. Exhausts look stunning! I noticed that HK doesn't include the inner exhaust shrouds. I have no idea if these were removed in the field or not like the shrouds on P-51 Mustangs... The shroud on a 6-stack 2-stage Merlin set-up: Julien Dixon
BradG Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 I know it's not an LSM, but I'm into tiger meet and it caught my eye at the LHS. 1
BradG Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Well, maybe not 'LSM' size but calling for some serious decalling and decorating skills... So, very much LSM quality potential, I'd say. You actually get almost all the black and yellow as a decal, but I'll probably mask and paint most of it. I've done something similar with the black and yellow striped F-104 a few years ago.
Wingco57 Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Got myself a Citadel basic paintset today. During lunchtime visited a games workshop and met some nice guys there. They showed me the paint and left not emptyhanded. Working in the centre of Amsterdam has it's uses. Cees 1
GusMac Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Hi Cees, is that the one on Rokin? Spent some time (and Euros) in there with my son when we were over a couple of years ago. Excellent staff and good selection of stuff, or so my son said. Cheers, Gus
Wingco57 Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Hi Gus, Nay, Rozengracht, it is close to the Rokin (give or take a mile) but behind the Royal Palace at Dam Square. They have a set of washes too, I was shown some projects they were working on and it looked great. And nothing is done by airbrush. Just a quick primer with a spraycan and the rest with the hairy wand. Cees
GusMac Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Hi Cees, yes I think I got my east and west mixed up. We were staying on the Herengracht which is about midway between the two. From memory, there was another one over the other side of town as well. Gus 2
Wouter Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 So I went to Euro Scale Modelling last weekend. Saved up some serious cash up front for this day. I wasn't disappointed. Found some nice 1/32 scale vintage cars for a future diorama! 3
Administrators Fran Posted November 3, 2015 Administrators Posted November 3, 2015 Now that`s shopping Wouter!!
Artful69 Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 ... The only thing I wish for now is a half-serious flue-attack so I get to read the 300 pages undisturbed in bed... ... Go the 'Man-Flu' ... ham it up ... you'll be right ;) Looks like there's some Walrus references in there! Rog
wackyracer Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Telford purchase. URL=http://s1065.photobucket.com/user/Wackyracer66/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20151107_202526.jpg.html][/url] URL=http://s1065.photobucket.com/user/Wackyracer66/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20151107_202057.jpg.html][/url] 2
Artful69 Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Telford purchase ... I'll expect a report on your thoughts after eyeballing the resin up close!! Rog
Dave J Posted November 9, 2015 Author Posted November 9, 2015 Well I was well behaved at Telford.... I should of spent lots more.... But I have to think of my luggage on the way back to NZ So I got a Fly Wessex, Takom Whippet and Aries Pit for the 262.. 1
Wingco57 Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 My haul was modest, I got the Haynes Manual on the Bristol Blenheim, and the HK Models Mosquito B IV. So will start hacking it apart to make the prototype soon. Not into Dark side modelling, save me a lot if money Though. Cees 1
Wingco57 Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 errrrr no, it's the slightly less dark side. Cees
nichenson Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 I picked up a Brassin 1/32 engine for the Revell FW190F-8. It is an absolute little jewel. The kit engine is nice, but this is just over the top. 1
Administrators James H Posted November 10, 2015 Administrators Posted November 10, 2015 Mmmmm, what did I get? THESE: Just HAD to get one of these to build a Russian machine! This little kit was a gap in our HpH review list: After chatting to Kuni from ZM, he arranged to have this put away for me: A nice pit for a future project: An ÜBER F-104 Starfighter decal set from DACO. 6 sheets and over 700 decals for German/Bavarian machines. Thanks to Erik for sorting this for me 2
Administrators James H Posted November 10, 2015 Administrators Posted November 10, 2015 Nice. I'm looking forward to the non-bias look at the Ta-152. Exactly. A good kit is a good kit, no matter where it comes from. The Ho 229 was amazing, and still would've been even if HKM was doing one. Novel perspective eh?
