    I bought a kit from there as I couldn't find it anywhere else, and got some free sprue cutters. They are surprisingly good so I use them for most things now, saving my posh ones for final trimming.

      You're lucky they make a kit of this very late war "seven". I ended up having to bash one using the cargo bed from a M. B. 4500 truck and cutting up an AA " seven" for the cab and drive components.
      Hope to see a thread on this soon. Rick H.

            Running low on cement, and since John had no Tamiya I thought I'd give these a go. Since Tamiya's formulas are well known it's probably very similar.

            And yet more CA! My thin one has welded itself into the bottle, and I've heard good things about the gap filling one.

            And it's a while since I did a helicopter so figured I'd try the newly reboxed Zvezda one.

              Hi Andy, i am using the AK citrus because tamiya thin gives me headaches and does pong a bit, impressed with it!

              Speaking of CA i bought from John the VMS CA and found it to be very good

                Andy, let me know how you get on w/Pink Zap. I use the Green as I couldn't get the hang of the Pink. It is FAST. PaulE

                  That's good to hear Bob, I'll be trying it out this afternoon.

                  Thanks for the warning Paul. I got it mainly for wicking into baking soda as a filler, but will exercise caution.

                    Hey Andy, keep it in the fridge (if you can get away with it......)
                    It's great stuff when it works, but that's a lot of it to go solid

                      Thanks Neil. I wondered if the super hot temperatures in their lately had affected it.

                      Sounds like a great excuse for a beer fridge in the shed.... :smiling5:

                        I'm 75% through my Stug IV and making a decision on what to do next is tricky.............
                        Got two kits for fathers' day and bought myself the Porsche but not ordered the paint for it yet, the other two I think can be linked together but not sure?

                          You could hang the 7,5 cm PaK 40 behind the Sd.Kfz. 251, sure. It was not the normal prime mover for it, but it would be used at times.

                            The Revell model is the ICM release reboxed ( and cheaper! ) Exactly the same, but the instructions are better!
                            I'm awaiting the Admiral Cabriolet to complete the set....................

                                There is something about the Defiant... I see it in Hobbycraft and think, shall I, shan't I... still walk out with something totally different!
