All the grand kids Xmas stuff arrived today, along with a replacement part for my Harvester courtesy of Amazon and all the way from USA...2 weeks early and a box full of old Modelling mags and this kit of a suicide plane.
I noticed here the local Post isn't shipping parcels to Canada until this thing sorts it self out.Twokidsnosleep wrote: Mon Dec 02, 2024 2:56 amI can’t specify shipping from eBay sellers, so not taking risksdigger303 wrote: Sun Dec 01, 2024 11:16 pmOh how to win friends......that was a well thought out strategy by the union.Twokidsnosleep wrote: Sun Dec 01, 2024 9:39 pm Canada post is on strike for last two weeks, so not able to order anything from e Bay

I know someone who owns one of those Maz tractors here in the UK. To say it has a fetish for filling stations would be an understatement!!digger303 wrote: Fri Dec 20, 2024 3:01 am Here's a couple of kits just arriving
On opening the package I was slightly disappointed as I didn't get the figure kit I was expecting....yes I stuffed up. Thought I was getting field police with Alsatians..damn.
Everyone needs a way to shift tanks
Not surprised as the Russians don't tend to update equipment as often as in the west. There is gear being made there that has had no real change in decades. Just as well they have so much oil, mind you at the rate the Ukrainians have been burning them it won't help...RangerNeil wrote: Fri Dec 20, 2024 10:16 amI know someone who owns one of those Maz tractors here in the UK.

Not one I remember, but it looks fun.
Wow , very nice.
Wrong idea I know, but I abuse them too much.
I really like these skeleton builds, but boy does it ever look daunting to me.DRUMS01 wrote: Tue Jan 07, 2025 7:41 pm Not much from me (as normal), except the following:

Oooh I saw that when it first came out and was tempted but then had an outbreak of common sense and backed away from the wallet!digger303 wrote: Wed Jan 29, 2025 12:13 pm I proudly present to you for your viewing pleasure the first ever styrene kit of a 1/35 passenger rail car.
It's a heavy box with just enough rail line provided to base it on. It has a compliment of metal tubing cut to size, a paper mask to help with locating and painting the internals, the usual compliment of PE and the instructions drawings just seem weird. Maybe I just need to adjust.
Yeah I was in shock at the price too as I had pre-ordered 2 and was forced to change that. Got my eye on a Br-80 locomotive when it launches and currently saving up for that as it's going to be close to 200aud I suspect.Tomcat64 wrote: Wed Jan 29, 2025 2:58 pmOooh I saw that when it first came out and was tempted but then had an outbreak of common sense and backed away from the wallet!digger303 wrote: Wed Jan 29, 2025 12:13 pm I proudly present to you for your viewing pleasure the first ever styrene kit of a 1/35 passenger rail car.

I'll be really interested in seeing how it goes when you get around to building it up
Metal tracks on a Sherman might give you too much sag ?RangerNeil wrote: Wed Feb 05, 2025 11:28 am Latest acquisition....
Now debating whether to go for metal tracks or not.....
Interesting point Digger - I hadn't considered that!! Perhaps I'll try the plastic links in the kit - at least they aren't rubber bands....digger303 wrote: Wed Feb 05, 2025 2:33 pmMetal tracks on a Sherman might give you too much sag ?RangerNeil wrote: Wed Feb 05, 2025 11:28 am Latest acquisition....

Decided to see if there were any reviews for this kit and was pleasantly surprised to see not only a review , but it compared this kit to the older Tasca/Asuka kit. Now these used to be the best Sherman’s OTB builds to be found not any more it seems as this reviewer Al Bowie say's.RangerNeil wrote: Wed Feb 05, 2025 11:28 am Latest acquisition....

Thanks Digger - always nice to know its good before one starts - peace of mind is invaluable!!digger303 wrote: Thu Feb 06, 2025 11:48 pmDecided to see if there were any reviews for this kit and was pleasantly surprised to see not only a review , but it compared this kit to the older Tasca/Asuka kit.

"In summary, this is an excellent kit that takes all the little things missing from the TASCA VC and adds them to give a very complete product. I did note the fit which, while it is very good, is not the precision fit of the TASCA kit if that bothers you.
I would highly recommend this as the best Firefly currently available in any scale and I hope that RFM offer M4A4/Sherman V variants and an interior variant as a follow on.
Well done RFM on a superb offering."
Nice pick up Neil
Nice!!!Twokidsnosleep wrote: Sat Feb 22, 2025 7:57 pm Oh I like this one a lot!!!
