If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

One received a few days back, which I forgot to mention:

1 x Tamiya 1/48 Ilyushin IL-2 Shturmovik

Courtesy of Brian T. (buzzbomb).

It looks awesome in the box!

Zero flash, crisp detail, crystal clear transparent parts & a masking "sticker" (with the masks marked but requiring cutting out). The nice-looking Russian decals probably won't be used, as there's a better than even chance of me doing this as an early Kheil HaAvir (IAF) asset.

Czech supplied?

EBay says I've won the Gotha Go 145 I was bidding on, a decidedly rare Dujin kit which is somewhat pricey too, especially the postage from France. I really want the follow on design but Dujin are very hard to find these days.

I like the sound of that  :thumbsup: and as Lee says it could of come via the Czechs ?
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Got a new Enterprise ( build one 15 years ago , that is stored somewhere there deep in my stash ) .

Revell 04880

It is a holy grail , nothing for me to change at the basic thing , except the paint job 👻 .

I'm addicted to kirk and Spock since their first appearance in Germany in 1972 .

To boldly build what no men has build before...

In the mail today I got a couple of Hobbyboss AM gun barrels..alloy ones .
One for a Panzer IV and a 2 piece King Tiger barrel.
Both have brass muzzle breaks and those are very nicely made..these will be added to the spares pile 😀

I went into my LHS yesterday to grab some evergreen and tamiya rattle can paint.
It was a sad sight.  The shelves were almost empty of kits and the paint racks were nearly bare.  I'm not sure how much longer it'll be there.
The guy who works there was positive they'll be getting more stock in soon but he always says that.
I got the evergreen I wanted but they didn't have the right colour paint.
Wanting to support them I grabbed a kit I keep looking at and putting back on the shelf.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

If you but it, there'll be less on the shelves so others may be put off from coming in, but at least it'll improve his cash flow...................
