Might have over spent

Post by oldnovice »

As the title says...I treated myself today but think I may have over done it :lol:

I've ordered...

Tamiya's 1/32 Spitfire IXc
CM 1/48 Spitfire Mk.IXC 'Beer Delivery', WWII British Fighter
A bunch of Tamiya Paints, 16 to be exact.
Some AK varnish, matt and gauzy whatsitcalled.
Ultimate Primer, Cleaner and Dark Dirt wash.
Some thinners and chipping fluid, and a few washes from AK.
A bunch of stuff from Ebay, Tamiya masking tape, compass cutter, masking sheets, mixing palletes etc.

Spent about £300 in total :jd:

You’ve got a nice haul of goodies there and rest assured, most of us here are guilty of binge spending on modelling goodies from time-to-time.
My latest downfall was discovering Industria Mechanika website. All those wonderful kits forced me spend quite a bit more than you :oops:

There is only one mindset to have when the finger is hovering over the return key or the footsteps are approaching the counter in the model shop.

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

Ooooh that is a bad question.
WARNING:
Many a modeller has been lost reading these pages.....or at least his wallet was severely damaged
