I haven't got new plastic this year. That might be down to me not asking for any  ;D

What I did get was a GoCheer 40psi Dual Action Airbrush  :thumbsup:  Comes with a plug in compressor, cleaning kit, extra paint cups, different nozzles and other bits. Haven't tried it yet but I will have a go at the weekend.

I do have some Thinners already - I bought some Hataka paint sets (WWII Soviet and WWII German) at the London show and they gave me a small bottle as a freebie so I can use those for practice. Just need to build me a spray booth first and read up on how to use an airbrush.

What a sensible chap!   (See my comment, below)  I'm still a fully paid up member of the brotherhood of the hairy stick, but I wish you success with your new toy.

Yup best of luck with airbrush Nick  :thumbsup:  You're still young enough to get to know how to use it, unlike sme others here  ;)
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

So is that Richard Todd leading the charge Kit ?  :rolleyes:

Been to that bridge and cafe a couple of times, great to see the cafe especially still remembers the bravery of those guys  :thumbsup:

To go with the above 1/72 scale Pegasus Bridge diorama kit, I got an Italeri Horsa with British troops too!  :thumbsup:

As I've already got one Horsa, I just need a third one to do the whole diorama of 'Operation Deadstick'!
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

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 .

Not a model, but an airbrush. I'm rather pleased with the one I have, but this is an improvement. Better brush, and the extra battery is nice, I can use one while the other is charging. On-line reviews are good. Using a full size compressor is still not a viable option, not that I really care, the portability is a major advantage for me regardless.
