Ian Campbell 3,967 Posted January 23 Report Share Posted January 23 Picked this up at the Bolton show yesterday along with a Revell B25J The Mitchell is for Caracals forthcoming sheet for post war USAF aircraft. They do this sheet in 1/72 nd scale as well with an extra aircraft on it, some really interesting choice of subjects in both the main scales. I was nearly tempted by the Japanese C47 sheet but managed to refrain. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lost Cosmonauts 4,764 Posted January 23 Report Share Posted January 23 I had a lot of scraps of MDF in the workshop so spent a little time this afternoon making odds and sods to make my modelling life a smidge easier Some clamps (need a bike inner tube to cut up for gripping elastic) from a free design by Makerdesignlab Assorted depth brackets, models hanging up, for the purpose of. Anti tail sitting props for when I put insufficient lead in the nose (i.e. always) 3-12mm in 3mm increments Holding an EE Lightning at a more civilised attitude 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Paul Brown 7,444 Posted January 24 Report Share Posted January 24 I suppose taking a fellow club member who is currently pretty much housebound out on a trip to a model shop was never likely to end well in respect of GBH to the old debit card, but hey ho! As an aside, if you're ever in south west Suffolk, head into Long Melford and visit Model Behaviour, they're just off the main thoroughfare through the village (Little St Mary's) in St Catherine's Road. There's loads of tea shops in Long Melford, but we headed back to Sudbury and TTT Motorcycle Village to indulge our other passion. It's a warehouse type place with not only almost literally hundreds of second hand bikes, but also a very decent cafe area where all day breakfast was taken. A rather nice day out all in all. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So maybe it broke down and was destroyed by it's crew to stop it falling into the hands of the other side. Either way it's impossible to tell if it was in Russian or Ukraininan hands at the time as they both use Soviet era equipment, hopefully that is soon to change. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Bowcat 345 Posted Tuesday at 02:27 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 02:27 PM A couple of recent acquisitions. The Hornet's for a GB on another forum. It's a film & TV GB, so this will be built as Pete Mitchell's aircraft. 10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sprocket 7,977 Posted Wednesday at 09:12 PM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 09:12 PM (edited) I'm getting my Finnish Brewster Buffalo Tommorrow, Jadlam Racing has never let me down, I'll dig into that as soon as it arrives, after my Thursday Morning 6k run of course. On order I have another classic ship Kit and book combination on the way. As you can see, the box is rip torn, so the collectors didn't bid on it, so I got it for a reasonable price as I'm building it. The parts are still sealed in the old poly bag. and it has made up shrouds...yes. The book is on it's way, and I'll give a brief on it in time.
