I have filmed a spray video of this little unit using Ultimate primer.Twokidsnosleep wrote: Thu Apr 18, 2024 3:33 am This thing arrived.
Looks pretty cool and quick tests says it functions and sprays
Have ordered another quick disconnect from Amazon for it so I can pop on all of my other brushes.
Have not used it in anger yet with paint, will try and do that and get a video review up maybe on the weekend

it's basically a gate way through the planetary shield.RangerNeil wrote: Fri Jun 14, 2024 2:33 amGoing to be a few X-Wings in the build this year.Twokidsnosleep wrote: Thu Jun 13, 2024 5:25 am A few things toddling onto the office this week.

No TIE fighters though - yet.
The shield gate looks a lovely job - no idea what it is or does as I've not seen Rogue One.

Huge difference.RangerNeil wrote: Fri Jun 14, 2024 1:39 pm A surprise delivery..... the 1/48 MPC Hawk - and it is a LOT more detailed than the Airfix one.

Next, and this is postman, no particular plans to do one of these soon, but I like the options so I snagged them
And finally, bragging rights if you can guess what this stuff is. I will say its 1/48.![]()

Well I couldn't be further from the correct answer if I triedsmokeriderdon wrote: Sat Jun 22, 2024 3:59 am Those would be the inner supports for the MH-53J. Along with the floor and various interior parts. To be used on the 1/48 Revell CH-53 kit. I also have the Lonestar exterior set and waiting for other exterior stuff from Reskit.

Well after prodding the Post Office a bit after being lost for 12 days after the due delivery date in the inner workings of said PO they finally released it to me. Needless to say I was on tender hooks with this particular kit wondering if it was lost for ever.

I will keep a eye out for a crew set and probably some other upgrades. As the wheels are all plastic and will look best with the out riggers deployed.DRUMS01 wrote: Tue Jun 25, 2024 9:48 pm I like that digger. I've seen a british truck with a boors gun on the back that I'm debating getting. The reviews on your kid seem very positive. Are you going have a crew with it?
Ohhh I didn't know such a book existed cause I have a idea that's been peculating for a time while I gather the bits needed.





Yaeee I'm so glad that it finally arrived ...thank goodness.RangerNeil wrote: Fri Jun 28, 2024 4:41 pm ITS HERE!!!!![]()

That is a great deal!Twokidsnosleep wrote: Wed Jul 10, 2024 2:11 am DHL brought in my order. I had to delay it a week as they tried to deliver when I was away
A $22 shipping fee and Digger was correct, I got dinged another $23 duty tax.
The oil tubes were $2.50 each . Amazon they range $8-22 and some higher
The leather set was $15.00 . Amazon the kit is $40 if even available
The solvents $3.50 Amazon the average is $15
So I did save some money, just not quite as much with the tax man involved collecting his duty
AK is redesigning the oils appearance and packaging, so look for them to be more expensive as well

Got my eye on one of those too - be interested to hear your feedback on it Digger.digger303 wrote: Wed Jul 10, 2024 11:38 am DSPIAE sunk another hook into me![]()
