Latest Acquisitions (2019)

[Guest]

Hi pick this lot up at the Euro expo show at Leas cliff hall in Folkestone .

The brushes are from ABC brushes, a pilot and pirate resin head and us tank driver bust.


Will make a nice reconnaissance/scout vehicle.


This is what they call a bundell kit from Kitcrazy, everthing in one box to make M31 recovery vehicle
which includes all the resin conversion parts, will be interesting.

I like that piper Fernando

It seems to be a nice little kit with six decal options, although the Dutch and Czech markings are too bright...
Still with some searching it can be found pretty cheap.:smiling:

The British Grant or US Lee were nicknamed the "Iron Cathedral" (US), "Grave for Seven Brothers" (Russian) or "Splendid Target" (German), not the most successful design being 10' tall and limited main gun traverse. Makes an interesting model though. Due to the many different builders, there were many variants. PaulE

Not heard Iron Cathedral before Paul

More a cross between a light tank and an SPG

By the standards of 1940, its armour and turret gun were par for the course for a medium tank. It’s American light tanks that were the odd one out compared to those of other countries, being more like many mediums in weapons and armour, though not size.

In an act of gross stupidity I put my name down for the Bombers Moon GB so I had to go shopping, this is what turned up



I've already discovered that the decals aren't accurate but other than that it looks the dogs doodaas

Well I passed my 3 annual exam at work and beside that real life is consuming all of my free time,
... so I treated myself on this lovely 1/32 Hellcat to cheer me up ... :smiling5:

Hi this lot came today from SMS thank you John.

I can now declare Pete's Toon factory is officially open.

All the builds will be conversions and the kit is really only the base to build from.

Wow Bob, nice book, but don't you think the guy on the left in the big StuG D pic should be in retirement. He looks kinda old to me!!!......

Hi Allen I could do 9 Sherman on top of what I've already made but at the minut I'll stick at 7 and there will be 5 German tanks, 1 Russian tank as well.
