I've been watching evil bay for WWI vehicles to go with my 1/32 scale Tommy's war figures and I was originally going for a Model T Ford, but they were too expensive at the time, so I went for this.

Painted green it will be just the job for a staff car.
Now, does anyone know of a good source for PE wire-spoked wheels? I had a bit of a search yesterday but no luck so far.

Love the cover art! It could easily be assumed that is the front cover of "Jeeves in the offing" or "Love among chikens" ...

No kits, but a most important supply has reached Race Towers goods inwards dept.

May be not exciting as some deliveries but the sight of 6 x 5mm KAPA board sheets 500x 700 to the Stalingrad Building Company is great.

I'm surprised they are white and not 4BO........would save paint and time :tongue-out3: :tongue-out2::tongue-out:

Just landed, and fits my preference for quirky vehicles.

Waiting for the WMIK to be available.

Arrived today and it's impressive.
A good kit for the incoming winter.

Many thanks to Allen Dewire for his hint (see the "Your wish list" thread).

I used KAPA foamboard in my professional life for 20 plus years and I feel bound to inform everyone that regular UHU works fine with KAPA foam board, and it's quite a bit cheaper than the polystyrene stuff.
It also works quicker because of the lovely solvents in it!
Kapa is made with polyurethane foam, not polystyrene.
Sorry John
Looks like you won't be running out anytime soon, though.

Thanks Neil, I only use it to glue the foam to its self, I glue the sheets back to back, (paper to paper) using normal PVA. I sure I read on the 4D model site site that it was the right glue, bugger :angry::angry::angry::angry: Well that the xmas presents sorted for some then. Cheers .:thumb2:

Me thinks the fumes from the UHU are responsible for the everything green moments and general Russiki obsession, fetch matron

[Peter Gillson]

A bit of a bargain, no idea when I will build it but it will be my first Lee in 1-35 - my only other was Airfix about 40 years ago!!![ATTACH]400583[/ATTACH]
