Christmas Loot 2017

Post by Tomcat64 »

Might be a bit late and I know a couple of you have posted in the Postie thread already but I though I'd put up a Christmas loot thread for sharing this year's hauls.

Three WWII armour kits for me (allied for a change) and an Eagle Transporter from Space 1999 - I had one of these last year so I already have a dio in mind for this year's sci fi build if it happens :th:

And this from MrsT to replace my Mk 1 el-cheapo compressor :banana:

Cheers, Neil

Will do - I'm itching to break it out of the box and spray something but have to behave and do family stuff this week!

I got the Airfix new tool B17 for the heavy bomber SIG then a bunch of asshats votes for the other SIGs and it didn’t win! :crazy:

Merry Christmas you gits!
Its been tried and tested, it works! So don't blame the system if you're no good. :doh:

It only missed out by a single vote too - maybe ask Ivan for a recount??

If it's 1/72 me and Gerhard von Quax were discussing the possibility of a 1/72 SiG for next year if there's enough interest so don't bin it just yet!

Busty, huh? I'll have to do some scratch building for that requirement. Does the Navy have a heavy bomber? ;)
