Get the 2 part epoxy in the twin tubes with one plunger..super easy to use and as for CA ..i use Zap..but any quality CA will work fine and ya fav LHS should have it  :thumbsup:
Martin whe has a youtube channel called Nightshift ( very good dude ) uses this black CA ..i want to try that ..its so good to work with and i want some .

That black CA is becoming famous... i'll have to get some to see what the fuss is about... ;) I know those two part epoxy plungers, they should be easy to find, thanks!  :thumbsup:
I also think i've seen a video or two from that guy's channel... if that's the same guy, he's good. :mellow:

If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .

A Heller 1:72 Spitfire LF.16 for a semi-historic post-war livery variant. There are certainly better kits of this version (e. g. from Eduard), but I do not want to shell out EUR 25,- or more for a small and simple model - the Heller kit for just EUR 7,- is "enough".

And an Airfix D.H. Vampire FB.5; it's actually the Heller kit, but I went for the Airfix boxing because of the Swedish decals. It will probably end up in the hands of a more exotic operator, though.  ;)

Yep, the Heller Spit 16 is one of those kits that is ideal for chopping up and rearranging, or for just having some basic modelling fun with and maybe stretching modelling skills at the same time.

Couple of ICM 1/48 Firebee drones added to the stash.

One example of the KDA-1/Q-2A and one of the BQM-34A/Q-2C.

The BQM-34 has two examples of the type in the box.

Detailed little kits.

No more than usual. The decals are all paid for, both styles of camouflage as I have not made up my mind which to go for and those I don't use can go on something else. Their delivery will be slightly delayed as John of Oldmodels has had a mild case of Covid which is delaying their postage which I assured him was no problem at all.

Very good selection, mate!  :thumbsup: I also have one of those in the stash but they seem to be hard to find at reasonable prices. :banghead:
