ordered in January (yes, 7 months ago  :banghead: ) from Cromwell Models all 1/76-72;

JS-4 heavy tank
Conqueror heavy tank
Swedish upgraded Centurion (to be upgraded Britsh Army 1980s)
Windor Carrier (for my Tommy '46 thing)
T28 Super Heavy (for my Yank '46 thing)

'exemplary' service from Cromwell Models - despite numerous emails and letters (all unanswered) it took the big stick of Trading Standards to get this one sorted out. That's his last order from me then...

Was forced to do the 75mile round trip to Jamieson's in Glasgow this morning for a tin of paint :blink:

Consider your self lucky to get anything Mike. Last I heard (back in April) he had gone out of business. Leaving a shed load of unfulfilled orders.
I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

ah right, I hadn't heard that. Still, whatever is the case it's such as shame as the kits themselves are superb, sadly the way they run the company is a bit of a joke  :banghead:

The stash grew A LOT today! All from the same evilBay vendor (shipping paid just once, hehe! :wacko:):

1/48 Hobby Boss Yak-38/Yak-38M Forger - real world, but not an everyday real world build...
1/32 Trumpeter Missile US Aircraft Weapons - wanted this for a SLAM-ER, to be scale-o-rama'd to 1/72, but it may just be too big for what I have in mind
1/72 Revell F-16C Tiger Meet 2003 - you can never have enough Vipers, right?
1/144 Revell F/A-18E Super Hornet
1/200 Cyber Hobby/Dragon Avro Vulcan B.2 - just wanted to have one. It's gorgeous!  :wub: Hope Dragon will release it in 1/144 as well. This 1/200 one will probably be kitbashed with a 1/72 Hunter fuselage to make a 1/72 Avro 707-ish proof-of-concept vehicle or some operational machine. Then again, sticking on a 1/44 Tornado canopy wouldn't look out of place either. Hmmm......

1/144 Revell German Type XXI U-Boot with interior - might try something for the Ship GB.
1/350 Hobby Boss USS Virginia SSN 774
1/350 Trumpeter PLAN DDG-139 Ningbo
1/350 Trumpeter PLAN DDG-139 Ningbo - yes, two. Had already placed a bid on the second one, thinking I'd be outbid on the first one. Oh well, still paid only about 40% of the regular retail price for each. Hmmm, that Soviet battle-cruiser form X-Men.....
Cheers,
Moritz


Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

Went in to maybe buy the Valiant, but nah: it's too big, too dear, and I don't have any particular plan for it.
