Hi Richard,
not seen that Pz III with rail car before - do you get the rail track as well? Not mentioned on the box

The Stug B is another boxing of the one that a few of us are doing for Bobs Stug GB - will you be entering this one?

Good prices

Mr postie delivered two that I have been waiting for.
One that I think you should all know and the other is the two domes for my Titanic build.[ATTACH=CONFIG]n1115057[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]n1115058[/ATTACH]

Peter - hope you plan to post the Dalek build

Two more from John


ICM re-box. They have literally just taken the ICM kit as moulded and packed by ICM and put it in a new box with a new set of nice Revell instructions. Looks like a nice kit


cheap and cheerful old Zvezda kit that needs quite a bit of work

[SteveH]

More from John too

The AK will be a solid base for 2 lots of modulation, when I eventually get back into the garage!
Its 0 C here and frost on the cars, so not today.
The blades were reduced and discounted and points down to 72 p for a pack of 5!!!
After an 11p blade, its the one I use the most.
Timely delivered too
Thanks John
Regards

Dragon, even. I’ve got one that I built when it was new. Wasn’t a bad kit, but it suffered from “working” hinges and very thin grab rails etc. that deformed in the mould a little, and of course break easily.

Not had the Dragon incarnation but have had a previous Zvezda version. This one has new decals but everything else looks the same. Still has the rubbish hard vinyl tyres - I will hopefully be replacing them with castings of a scratched replacement I made. Have a brass RB barrel on the way for it

[Dave Ward]

Postie just delivered these:


Quite impressed, for further details see my post HERE

Picked this up today as I found the regulator on my AS186 a little clunky, this precision regulator gives me much finer adjustment.



and here it is fitted, I have left the reg and filter on the compressor and set to 30 PSI and no longer have to reach down to adjust on the fly.

Quality of life upgrade for that reason alone :nerd:

I just checked mine, and its tyres are still good after about 25 years on a shelf, as are those of the BTR-80 standing next to it. OTOH, all four tyres on the BRDM-2 model (similar vintage) next to it have split, but on the BRDM-2 next to that, they’re fine … I’d say you might be making the right decision to replace them, just in case.

I also sent for this grinder an it looks a nifty little job one like andy bought

[boatman]
