Won on ebay:

Dapol (ex-Airfix) Scammel Scarab

Airfix Spitfire mk Ia
Airfix Spitfire mk I/IIa

[Howard of Effingham]

Trev, use a Tempest canopy and wheels on the Firecrest.  I'd also steal a Sea Fury prop and spinner if you can.  The Magna parts are less than expected.

thanks Lee. as luck would have it, I have these items in the spares box but not the Sea Fury prop and spinner. I can live with this.

Won on an ebay auction, a Revell 1/72 Hawker Hunter Mk.58.
Also bought Tamiya's 2mm wavy line masking tape, Eduard's Cockpit PE set for the Fujimi 1/72 F-22 Raptor and Yahu's instrument panel for the 1/72 Mirage IIICJ for the AML kit.

[TheChronicOne]

I'll be interested to hear how that tape works out.  Had my eye on it , too.

Went into the LHS to get some paint today.
Came out with a bottle of tamiya gloss (not flat - this time I read the label properly) red enamel, some saw blades for my #2 exacto knife and a 1/72 Airfix Jeep.  The Airborne one with the trailer, howitzer and pallet thingo.

got a call from my parents last night, they found me an early christmas gift 

-Matchbox 1/72 Boeing P-12E 

[Army of One]

Arrived today after a swop on a model site....a Matchbox 1/48 Seasprite and 1/32 Puma....I gotta say....for old kits they not bad....not bothered about how accurate they are but the Puma has a nice (basic) interior....and basic engine detail in the engine bay....plus a maintenance ladder....quite impressed....

I'll be interested to hear how that tape works out.  Had my eye on it , too.

I've tried it and if I'm honest the jury is still out. Can't quite make up my mind about it. I'll have more to report once I start painting my P-47.

I have some normal masking tape that goes down to 0.5mm and I find that very good for gradual curves and canopies. The Tamiya stuff is very plasticy and quite thick, not like their normal tape at all.

Thanks for the insight on the tape, Chris.
I wonder if it being thicker won't cause problems when covering with the conventional tape. I normally cut thins strips for canopy masking, those are used on the edges then i just fill the rest with normal 6mm tape bits. I only bought one roll to see how it works, if it doesn't, not much is lost.
I'll report back too when i get it.

[KiwiZac]

One will be OOB, with one half of the fuse unpainted/visible, as Glamorous Glennis.

The other......not so much....

[zenrat]

I've got some bendy tape on order.  I plan to try it on the Turbocat.  I'll report back.
