    Because I think historical accuracy is important:

        More excellent service from John saw these supplies arriving today. Back at work now though after only working two days in the last four weeks so probably won't be getting any use before the weekend.

        Hopefully this 0.2 airbrush needle won't roll off my bench onto the concrete floor in the workshop....

          After finally admitting to myself that i'm blind as a bat. I decided to purchase these 5 lens magnifier glasses. First impressions are that they are comfortable and just what i needed. Yes i have a desktop magnifying lamp. But i am finding it more and more of a pain in the back using it. So reading a few posts on here and seeing John get them back into the shop, i bought one. Also grabbed some RLM 24 for a Fw190 build i have planned (surprise surprise), paint brushes and some 0.4mm drills.

          Excellent service from John yet again, especially with the postal system as it is at this time.

            Alan,
            On me second pair now. They are good - use mine with the headband rather than
            the "ear stalks" !!!! That's how the first pair failed. :flushed:

            Paul.

              You won't regret buying those spec Alan, I use mine in conjunction with the bench magnifier, couldn't be with out it now. Tell me how you get on with the 3.5 lens, I find that a little too strong , my preferred lens is the 2.5.

                Reading that John, we're all different - I find the 2.0 ideal - the 3.5 is far too powerful - I can see the
                red blood cells through me skin!! :flushed: :rolling: :face-with-head-bandage: or was that 'cos I misjudged whilst using the scalpel?

                  It is going to be different though, going to convert it to an ARV. DEF have a conversion kit, but having spoken to my technical advisor in the Fatherland he thinks I can make it using plastic sheet, instead of the resin one in the kit. The turret not being use , but the turret hatches from the Tamiya are, should be fun. This time std tracks cos there will be loads of mud !

                      This should be a good one to watch!!
                      Lots of cutting, slashing and burning of plastic then!!!
