I would have loved there to have been a kit of that when I was on an M48/M60 trip about twenty years ago

The IDF have awesome hardware, ok, it has spawned from other vehicles but what a difference!

Got one of those T44s waiting for paint atm Si. A great kit with lovely detail, but I can see plenty of scope for you to “Simonise” it (fuel lines, fenders, etc.). Did you ever finish that resin one you were working on?

:hugging-face: Still sitting on the shelf of doom, it gets looked at periodically - probably should finish that one first, although I suspect the Miniart will be much better due to more information being available these days

Couple of nice purchases arrived today. Off e bay , the caracal decals sheet for nato ‘hinds’, this will eventually be used on the second minihobby 1/48 hind i bought , the green /grey/ blue czech scheme being the one i want to do. The other bundle was a purchase from John at our own scale models shop. The IBG models 1/72 pzl 23 karas polish light bomber and the hataka polish paint set. The IBG kit is a beautiful bit of tooling , with very detailed interior , crisp delicate mouldings and even a pe fret ( although strangely no seat belts on it ?) I did the old Heller kit as a kid and have always loved the look of this aircraft, so when i saw this and it was only about £11 i had to get it.

what search parameters do you all use to trawl ebay - I only ever seem to see people selling overpriced kits etc.

[Guest]

I was in the (rough) area of Hannants today, so stopped in to Lowestoft and was welcomed in by the excellent chaps within!

Came away with this lot:


Only realising when I took this picture that I don’t need the buccaneer wing fold set. Whoops.

Hi warren the kit was from John at our very own scale models shop , £10.67 plus postage ( i bought the paint from him too so the postage was combined ) bargain! I do use ebay quite a bit , I search - model kits , then turn off the newly listed button , then filter it to military aircraft, civilian aircraft and helicopters , and then sort it to ending soonest and sometimes auction only . I just have a trawl through the first dozen pages every day or so then i dont miss much . There are bargains to be found and you soon get to know what a kits worth (ie. what it sells for as opposed to what people ask for it !) cheers tony

[Dave Ward]

Warren,
I do a lot of searching on ebay, and over the years have found quite a few bargains - Like Tony, I do visit every day, and have quite a few saved searches. You have to have a lot of patience - also, check for misspellings, and sellers putting things in the incorrect category! A general term like '1/48 aircraft' can throw up a lot of hits, but will include items that will be omitted from a more specific search. It all takes time!
