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

[Grunhertz]

Just managed to score a 1/35 Meng panther D for £24.50 

[Bomber_County]

I give up with evil bay, twice now an item has been on auction for 5 days, I spot it with 15 minutes to go. Zero bids on it, I make a bid.........remember zero bids up till mine........out bid in the last 5 seconds.........eBay can go and put there site where........I will not finish that statement....

 

well done for snagging the Panther.......

[Martinnfb]

I hear you Phil, Evil-bay is worth only for the "Buy-it-now" type of deals, preferably from China. Otherwise the shipping kills it. 

[Bomber_County]

You’re right Martin, to many scalpers..........

[GusMac]

Too many people using those bidding bots is a major part of this.

Nice catch on the Intruder Danny.

Good haul Danny........

Thank's Phil, at the moment i'm looking for space to store the big Trumpeter A-6A box.

Talk about hands full Danny, this bunch will keep you busy !.......Harv

The Intruder will be a long term project, with all the extra's i'm planning. The Italeri F-16 is a commission build, the Red Baron, well i just wanted that one for my own mood  and both book's......let's say i need them.

Five years Phil, that's a short time, i was thinking in terms of a life time.....

Thanks to a suggestion from Harvey, these have found their way to next to my workbench.

Don't worry, they won't be used for cleaning out the airbrush.

Carl.................... looks like Harv has good taste...................................... I'll catch the next available flight and drop by for a snort.................... of 'Airbrush Cleaner '.....................

[BlrwestSiR]

Jeff, Harv certainly does know his airbrush cleaner. 

When ever you're up in Toronto, let me know and we can compare vintages.

Roger that Carl, with luck it should be one day soon,  my son and daughter in law are stationed in Ottawa ( Oddawa?) so a top over maybe in the cards...

[BlrwestSiR]

Even though there's a postal strike here in Canada, these arrived o e the last couple of days. 

First up is the last big gunned Sherman tank.

I got this for a good price so i was happy.

Another one for Ernie...

Lastly, with the possibility of a Privateer conversion coming out for the forthcoming HB B-24J, I thought this would be a good primer.

Carl

[Bomber_County]

Nice haul Carl.....

[Guest DannyVM]

Went yesterday to the Ciney militaria fair. I've seen some great stuff over there, and came with this home :

French Gueneau 316 helmet with MBU-5/P oxygen mask in a German configuration.

Oh boy!

Carl, nice haul!  The Clunk book of coursevget’s me all a’twitter, but the big patrol bomber lights my fire. The Privateer is, to me, the ultimate B-24 development that ultimately served the longest, and is ohhhhh so very cool. 

Yeah, there’s a very loud vocal minority who say that the PB4J-2 is THE version that should be kitted.

How good is the « Canadian Pofile » book on the Canuck ? Have you any pics of the inside pages you could share ?

I’ve yet to find the definitive CF-100 reference book, and I have plenty of books on the subject.   Really good 3 views, cross sections, systems drawings, internal pictures, etc, are difficult to find. The shape looks asic enough, but the swoops and curves around the engines where they join the fuselage and meet the wings are a nightmare to get right.  

[Guest DannyVM]

This morning from my local model shop, finally could get my hands on the oop Academy F-16CG/CJ. 

[Bomber_County]

one week to Telford..........money is burning a hole in my pocket..........

[James H]

I got some pretty nice stuff at Telford, including some samples from RB Productions. I also picked up these:

[harv]

Nice haul James. Can't wait to hear what you think about the SWS kit......Harv

[GusMac]

Nice stuff James. I take it it wasn't 'buy one get 5 free' on the Tempests?

[BlrwestSiR]

The Dambuster book is fantastic. I managed to pick one up at the Edinburgh show back in August.

Carl

[Clunkmeister]

You guys with your 1/48 prop fighters. I told Roy this on FB too, I’d need a magnifier on my magnifier

[Bomber_County]

Telford haul, not shown ZM F4J, Xurcon micro shears, LED magnifying lamp and the venerable old Tamiya SAS Jeep. All apparently disappeared into Santa’s grotto........
