Just got back from a shopping trip for urgently needed paint, and well, you know how it goes.....

From Warren Kerfoot Models:

Modelmates Slate Grey weathering spray

Humbrol matt varnish

Hasegawa 1/72nd Mercedes G4/W31 staff car (very reasonable price  )

Airfix 1/76th Sdkfz.234 "pakwagon" armoured car (ditto)

Slater's 6mm plastic letters and numerals

Wills OO-scale "grotty huts and privy"  

Tungsten-carbide tipped scriber


The G4 will be donating it's interior and drop-top to a "custom" AD-5 Skyraider when I nick it's canopy for something else, and will then get a jokey custom job using the privy (as per a big-scale custom car kit I half-remember seeing?)  




From Hobbycraft:

2 tins of Humbrol primer (near substitute for the Hu64 Grey they hadn't got in stock  )

Revell 1/76th M24 Chaffee for £3.99!


Hobbycraft have a load of other Revellobox 1/76th armour on sale:

Comet
Sherman Firefly
T34-76
Chaffee
Jagdpanther
LRDG Chevy truck & jeep

All £3.99 each.

just got back from town, and bought some nice additions:

-Revell 1/72 Ar240C-2 Nightfighter (cause i like Luft46, i know it isnt, but anything prototype or unsuccesfull is Luft46 in my eyes)
-IL2: Forgotten battles (got this yesterday, pretty sweet game)
-IL2: 1946 (whats a whiff builder without his Whiff game, im gonna try those luft46 fighters  )

Glasgow to-day, and no sign of a new Modelzone in the St. Enoch Centre as reported in the latest SAMI, but I did go to Jamieson's and got the Italeri RQ-4 Global Hawk. Even though it is a big model Scaleorama comes to mind especially as I found this on the internet.

Mind you, those Snakeyes must be HUGE!

From the LHS: a RoG F/A-18E Super Hornet in 1/48. At 50% off, it only cost a tenner! 

I KNEW you'd weaken and buy that, Moritz.... good isn't it ! - as for me, I just bought ANOTHER 1:48 Rafale B off EB, this one is the original issue witht the demonstrator scheme as opposed to the recent re-release with the AdA markings. Great thing is, I paid less than £15.00 for it, which is about the same as the Hobbyboss 1:72 kit, and I can collect it so no postage...... Result  ,

so watch y'self Weaver I'm heading your way in the morning 

[Ian the Kiwi Herder]

-IL2: Forgotten battles (got this yesterday, pretty sweet game)
-IL2: 1946 (whats a whiff builder without his Whiff game, im gonna try those luft46 fighters  )

Watch out for the 'Salamander' Nils, goes great in a straight line but bleeds airspeed like an F-104 when you try to turn it..... mind you so does the Tempest, but I think they got the dynamics very wrong on that one. Also beware the Fw190's they'll tip-over and flat spin without notice, you need to keep your speed up all the time. My tip, teach y'self to fly with the P-40's, they're very forgiving and feel 'right'

Enjoy

Confirmed fan of the entire IL2 franchise

Off EB, BK-117, the armed version and a ADAC set that comes with a Bo-105, Bk-117 and a EC-135 in it, all 1/32 and all Revell.  

[ChernayaAkula]

I KNEW you'd weaken and buy that, Moritz.... good isn't it ! <...>

't is! And it's all your fault!  Don't know when I'll get round to building that big beast, as I still have a 1/48 Hasegawa F/A-18E I won in a raffle on ARC, but the 'splodey bits will come in handy soon. Think I'll put some of them on an Israeli Rafale B ((with CFTs) for some long-range interdiction. And the GBU-31s in the RoG kit have the BLU-109 penetrator warhead. 

Off EB, BK-177, the armed version <...>

Wow! That thing is still around? Last time I saw that was in a Revell catalogue from the 1990s!

[The Wooksta!]

Latest ebay win and the last one for a while - Frog Beaufighter RAF.  I've already got the RAAF boxing with the retooled nose, but I wanted to build the other one.  Apart from a little bit of TLC and some new engines, it doesn't look that bad a kit.
