Shouldnt that read 1/35 Conway FV4004 conversion set ?

A 1/72nd conversion or kit would be nice to see

C042 is the AA code for the conversion. There is nothing on the box with the FV number at all

Now for the scariest tank of em all ..this one will give a armour and non armour builders the willies for sure .
It's a IBG Models Tankietka TKS z NKM wz.38 FK-A 20MM .
Now small is a relative term here as it's fecking small ..and I really mean that .
The tracks are link and lenght and are a massive 5.05mm wide ..the drive sprockets are 12.9 mm in dia 
And here's the kicker ..it's got a brass 20mm cannon barrel and PE 
Funnily I'm really looking forward to building this 

First to the Fight do that in 1/72, along with a couple of other variants

Well, i have to confess my latest sins... I have been a very bad boy because of a good year end bonus at work...

On order from various sources:

1X Academy 1/72 AH-64D Block II Apache Longbow
1X Kinetic 1/48 new tool F-16A MLU
1X CAT 4 1/48 A-4C/P Skyhawk Argentinian DEFA 30mm Cannons for Hasegawa kit
1X Huma 1/72 Messerschmitt Me 209 V5
1X Quinta Models 1/48 F-20 3D cockpit set for Freedom models kit
1X Bam Models 1/48 Premium F-15SG conversion set for Revell kit

Pretty happy with the selection, especially because the 209 is OOP and the BAM models F-15 set will become very hard to order very soon.
Although this F-15 set is for the Revell kit, which i do not have, i'll just adapt it to the Academy kit.
The Kinetic F-16 is to replace the one i recently put back in its box because of the cracked canopy and also because i have no other 1/48 F-16A kit, only C variants and i really want to build a real world PoAF Viper.
The Academy Apache is one i had my eye on for a while. AFAIK, it's the best Apache kit in 1/72 and the only one with the up-turned exhausts in the box.

Do they make tweezers that good ?

1X Huma 1/72 Messerschmitt Me 209 V5

Pretty happy with the selection, especially because the 209 is OOP

As far as I'm aware Huma have gone for good, which is a shame. However that's been said about a few companies in the past only for the moulds to surface somewhere else a few years later.

I wish that was the case with a few OOP kits that i can think of.
Yup, seems like they're gone for good so i'm not keeping my hopes up and, seeing that this is a 1996 kit, it probably will become harder to find and more expensive.
Last night i was talking to my modelling club's coordinator and he reminded me of that plane and that there was the Huma kit of it so, off to ebay i went and luckily, the single kit i could find wish shipping to Portugal at a reasonable price was just waiting for me...

It's a nice kit but there's something wrong with the shape.  R/S Models seem to be working their way through the Huma catalogue and improving on the subjects.

Wish i knew that, i'd probably wait for one of those... but it's ok, i'm sure this one will do just fine for what i want it for.

So I took some railways books and a Hornby HO/OO tender to the LHS and got £10 for them.

Then I had a look round, and 20 minutes later, I didn't have £10 any more, but I did have an Airfix 1/32nd Bond Bug.

[killnoizer]

That Bond Bug should give a solid base for some kitbashing . No one would build that OOB    ...
