Hi all

So on this sad day for the forum some arrivals at home......

This on its lonesome (John had none).....

Then these from John. Some replenishments and some new stuff - in particular my first proper washes. My homemade Revell off-black is fine my metal effects but I needed something better.

All credit to the postie too. I somehow missed the delivery from the parcel postie, caught the 'normal' mail postie to see if if was him I had missed. Three hours later the 'normal' mail postie is back with the van and the parcel, saving me a trip to the collection centre!!:smiling:

Inexplicably, somehow John also let this slip into the box as it made a bid for freedom! No idea how.....

In all seriousness though what's not to like about it. So it it doesn't have all the bells and whistles of a Profipack but John was selling it for £11.69 ( I got the last one) and that was without the forum discount. I think that is stunning value when you consider the core plastic element of the kit is the same as the Profi[ack 110s I have. It also comes with some 'Super Fabric' seat belts, which look quite nice.

I've been absent for a while as work has totally beat me to a pulp. I hope to play catch up this weekend on all the good stuff here. Last week I did get a package from Poland with some reference material for my Zoukei kits for when I retire next year,

This week, I snagged this off evilbay for € 27 for my V2 project. It'll get an enclosed workshop body for the back. Much better detail than my IBG kit of it. The downside is the rubber tires,

You mean tackled the track links or the kits?

The Esci M60s (later re-issued by Italeri) were easily the best M60s available until Dragon and AFV Club came out with theirs a few years ago, the Tamiya one is a very mediocre model, though, I daresay even by 1970s standards when it first came out. Can’t say anything about the track links, as I’ve never seen them in the flesh, let alone built them.

Allen love the nag just added it to my wish list

This didn't come in the post but it did find its way into the back of my pick-up.....some one dumped it at the shoulder of the Highway and I rescued it to repurpose as a model display case, that I happened to be sorely in need of. As you can see, I have already started filling it up. Rick H.[ATTACH=CONFIG]n1134181[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]n1134182[/ATTACH]
