My Stash Just Grew Again 2023

[PR19_Kit]

He got the ones he needed a while back. Besides which, I'm not paying more than a tenner for the base kit, I don't factor in postage. If it goes above a certain price or I get outbid, it goes elsewhere.  I only go above and beyond if it's something I really want.

I sure did.

I needed a minimum of two to build the Bv 148 and a spare is always handy, so I got three. Lee benefitted from that as the surplus bits went to sort out some of his. Good result on both our fronts.

I shall give it a go on the weekend and report back. 

So I tried it as an adhesive and it works as indicated - good result! 

Have not tried it to clean hairy sticks as yet.

Oh, and a 1/200 Hasegawa P-8A, to be RW RNZAF; Brother-in-Laws' Christmas present.  - Thanks, Phill!!   
It's so small it has every chance of getting completed well before the day - something that doesn't always happen. The single-colour scheme will also help.

I'd assume these are steel balls for/from ball bearings?

They're not shiny though, mine are a quite dull dark grey colour.

I assume they are made from whatever they started making fishing weights from when lead became an issue.  Tungsten?

Hmmmm, i'm putting off going to restock on paint because I'm afraid something similar will happen...

A couple of items arrived today

from ebay
1 x 1/72 Airfix Westland Scout. To be converted into a Wasp using an Air-Graphics conversion set I have

From Jadlan Racing
1 x 1/72 Airfix Vulcan B2 Black Buck edition. Aparantly the pylons and ECM pod are not the best but someone will bring out replacements. I suppose I should get back into building one ot two of the Seven Vulcans I have, both old and new 

Via Facebook
1 x 1/72 rear Ju88 double position rear fireing gun canopy to allow me to convert a C-6 from what came in the box to what is in a photograph.

Just wish I had a model shop nearby that I could visit when I need paint, rather than having to get via post or at SMW.

If you discount Warhammer and Modelcraft who do some Revell paints which I really don't like. There's nobody nearer that Hannants a 2 hour trip across London away by the RAF Museum.

On top of that I've never quite understood Warhammer's opening hours, seems to be based on when the staff turn up and Modelcraft is awkward to get to via public transport

I would use the pylons from the old Airfix kit, they are okay. I think the ALQ-101(?) were borrowed from the RAF Buccaneer fleet, so if you have an Airfix Gulf War Buccaneer maybe that will do it? 

I did issue the pod in resin years ago (quite a nice one) but I don't think I have access to the master anymore.

That's a shame Colin.  I have thought about using the pylons from the old Vulcan and an ECM pod from elsewhere. As for sourcing that from an Airfix Desert Storm Buccaneer, it would not matter as the normal RAF version has the same weapons sprue as the Desert Storm version. Wish someone had done a decent set of Martel and/or Sea Eagle missiles as an option.
