What modelling goodies did the postman deliver today....

[Twokidsnosleep]

After Neil alerting me to the fact about lack of certain munitions I grabbed these assorted kits on the boxing day sale.


Just hope the figures aren't over size.

I was looking for ferns everywhere. Ammo.
Will park that in the back of my noggin for next time

Wise move Digger Are they the WW2/just post-war shell cases with 1 piece rounds?
I'm stil hunting the later 122mm rounds with seperate charges for the D30, haven't given up yet!!

[smokeriderdon]

The last couple days worth.

A couple dino possibilities for the figure build. These are wicked nice vinyl kits. And rather large.





Now I need to see if there are Aztec decals for this Enterprise C.



And the kit for the armored car build. It wont be USAF as I was thinking. The seller included a decal set and it has markings I want to do. So Army it is.

They only give 2 in a pack....a bit stingy if you ask me or is that me ....

They appear to be packed in the ammo boxes as 2 separate items. The charge and the projectile separate in the one box.

Cool Dino's

[DRUMS01]

Man digger, you always seem to find the neat and odd soft skin military vehicles, I like them a lot. There are so many other here with kits and detail items; love the rally cars too. I am intrigued by the vinyl dinosaurs as well, I may have to look into those. As for those Ucrainian help decals, I need to see if they come in 1/35 as they would look nice on my MI-24.

Been a while since I posted new stuff so I hope I don't duplicate anything, but here goes:

DIE-CAST VEHICLES 1/18

I have Ferrari decals for the truck sides and there will be scratch details to build, it's B-I-G


1970 Chevy Nova, nice detailed engine


By Minichamps. Many decals were almost gone and mirrors missing, all fixed now


PLASTIC KITS

Neat kit with figures and multi-PE spoked wheels


1/20 Brabham fan car, always wanted one of these


1/48 Horton Ho-229, has great details but heard it is a bear to build, we will see


THE ODD BALL TO BE DETAILED

1/18 Dodge command truck, thinking about my SAS jeep I will detail/rebuild this one too


THE BIG ONE 1/16

This was my big Christmas present for Jarrod and I. Can't wait to get into it.


Some was for Christmas, others for my December birthday, and a few just because I could. I think I need to start building faster because I will never get them all done. Can't look at it that way, can we?

Ben and Jarrod

I'm definitely interested in seeing how these go together - I've always been a little wary of vinyl kits so will be watching how you tackle them

[Pacheco]

Another beauty

[RangerNeil]

Hot on the heels of the Airfix announcement the Fairey Rotodyne is back in the range this turned up. An oddball scale at 1/86 but this one has a full interior!!

Certainly a weird aircraft and even weirder the fact that the top rotor is air powered....thank you wiki
Going to be a interesting build.

Welllllll, they may or may not have been removed from the boxes and dry fitted. With sound effects.

Thanks for the link, it's very interesting!

The last purchase, a marvelous and large kit (1/16 scale) from Fujimi at a very cheap price :



But opening the box it's not a dream (the seller notified me about the state of the kit, happily!):











It's a shame to butcher such a nice kit , no sanding work, no paint, gluing awfully the clear parts, etc. I begin to unstick the parts but the glue is very strong and i don't want to break anything. Slowly but surely i will make it and this kit will be build like it deserves!

Yes, thats a nice kit. Huge amount of work starting from the current state, good luck.

I have that Countach kit still in the box (new). It is part of large series of kits made in 1/16 by Fujimi. The series also has stock and custom version of the Ferrari Testarossa, Countach, Ferrari 512BB, 84 Ferrari GTO, Ferrari F40, Porsche 959, Lamborghini Miura, Toyota 2000GT, Jaguar Bertone Pirana, Alfa Romeo T33, and a Nissan (Prince) R-380 racer. There may be more.

I started on the Toyota 2000GT only to find the plastic is strange; very hard but also brittle. Even after some scrubbing it did not like CA cement very well. The 2000GT had crisp mold lines but much of the desired detail was wanting.

Since I'll be building mine eventually, I will be watching your restoration with keen interest.

P.S. Looks like a lot of work to restore this one, good luck!

[ForeverPlasticKits]

Thanks for your messages, it's not tomorrow that i would (re)strat this kit and yes, it' ll be a big challenge!

Thanks for the infos about the Ferrari F40 and the Porsche 959 (ones of my favorites race cars! ), i know what to buy if i can find them!

I fancied something a bit different for the bomber GB so picked this up from e-bay for later in the year

[RangerNeil]

Theres a coinkydink - I got a Fleet Air.Arm bird in the post today too......



My mums brother flew in the centre seat of these in WW2.

Terrific pick up.
This is in the furthest reaches of my stash. Bit of a daunting build as I want to do a better job than I'm currently achieving, but maybe in the next 2 years.

I was lucky - browsing evilbay for something totally unrelated and it popped up in the search list. So I though "Well I got the 1/32 Lanc to build in memory of Dads brother, it must be fated to build a 1/32 Swordfish in memory of Mums brother."

Hi everyone, i purchased 2 kits and received this morning ... 4, a good surprise, i don't really know the english submarines :

Undine was the first of the Royal Navys "U" class Submarines - the so-called "Short Hull" or "War Emergency" hulls. There were 3 construction groups of the "U" class boats, Undine was the first ship in the first group. This comprised Undine, Unity and Ursula. Group II comprised a further 12 boats and Group III another 36. Of the 51 boats 23 were lost in action.
See:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/British ... _submarine

HMS Undine herself was launched in October 1937 and lost with all hands after being attacked by German Mineswerpers in January 1940.

Rigging wires for the Airfix 1/72 Swordfish.

No kits this time, just stuff to add to existing models.









And new bits for my Dremel

[digger303]

I went away for a few days visited a model shop or 2 and I think I was pretty good in just buying a few supplies. Mind you I wanted more ,but the shelves were empty. It seems wholesalers aren't keeping up supply.

[RangerNeil]

Wife is now officially in pee'd off at me mode - postie came again today.....
A jeep for the Stirling + Horsa build


And the spare 122mm ammo crates donated by ForeverPlasticKits!


(I could have been in deeper doo-doo but I booked a mini- cruise for us in May '24 so had accumulated brownie points)

[digger303]

Had to go clean my Post Box out....stuff builds up

Last purchases of the week, the model car wasn't expected but the seller did a BIG price cut so i can't resist (and it's a nice car!) :


The VAB will be build with a 20 mm gun turret (if i can find it! it's a Blast Model set very rare) :

[RangerNeil]

The Postman called - again.....

[ForeverPlasticKits]

Yes, a Matchbox kit!

I picked up a few goodies.

The first is a stepped rod for bending PE.


Second, is a beautiful chopper.

Nice buys
Lovely tools that will get used for sure.
I've looked at the chopper before and the RPZ tools one and I think I like this the best as the entire chopper bed can be turned to the required angle
very quickly and is possibly ( not used it so don't know for sure) less finicky.
The blade used has it one bevelled cutting edge or 2 ?
