[Peter Gillson]

Following the really dreadful packaging of the figures, the LCM arrived today - nicely packaged:



Now I just have nip to may local model shop for a 2 channel RC set and some motors.

Not quite the scale of Nimitz, but a challenge for my limited experiance.

After getting some money back from the health insurance, bought these from SMS last week and they arrived today.
Really wanted the Sea Fury and the Wolf for the Dutch variants, the others were in the back of my head for some time and now was a good time to buy:nerd::

Nicely packed and swiftly sent by John as always.:thumb2:

Check the mouldings on the american weaponry , a box i bought ( a long time ago ) had a .3mm shift back and front , so all weapons were unusable.
I assume the mould didn't match when closed.

Hi, I told myself there's nothing to get from Sydney that I can't get here...besides baggage weight was my concern but it happened...



Why the Sherman...because I didn't get it when I was last in Tokyo and because at sale price it was the same converted from Japanese yen if it were sold at Tamiya HQ Shizuoka.

Can't get that particular elastoplast texture here.
Can't get those figures here neither the 1/144 Tomcat.
The art supplies were cheap.

Everything else was costly after conversion. I get Miniart figure sets here for only RM37...try converting that. The MB figures above Are easily RM60 after converting.

Cheers,
Richard

Wow Richard, I didn't know you could pay in Reich Marks in your end of the world!!! I wouldn't know where to begin with the conversion though....………..Oh, nice haul too!!!

In Hong Kong for a work trip...afternoon off so had a sudden inspiration to have a look for a model shop. Was not dissapointed! There are a lot in Kowloon, only visited two...literally couldn't hope for a bigger selection. Language barrier is a bit tricky, but all this for under £50. Hardest part was not buying more.

Just had my best pay rise for years and back pay, so as its nearly Christmas, so bits for my fleet of He 219





and one for the stash looks great and like the box art

A very nice man in a red van delivered these today.





The book for the build.


Two wingy things, takes Peterairfix fault.

That Typhoon is a really nice kit, I built it a few years ago with the rockets under the wings. The Chieftain, though … I think I’d have gone for one of the recent Takom kits instead of this old Tamiya one, even if they’re probably twice the cost.
