Delivery at Towers this afternoon.
Very detailed time line which is most helpful.
Uniforms covered as well with both ww2 photos and reenactors.

I bit the bullet and bought a new airbrush compressor, an AS186, which seems to have been highly regarded on this forum.
I have been using a 20 year old 25lt very noisy beast of a compressor that was a problem to keep moving around at 25kg, so here is the new baby that only weighs 5kg.

On another forum recently, there was talk about this book (well, the UK edition) so I went looking for it, and found a copy for sale in the Netherlands, which I bought right away. This is the American edition published by Squadron/Signal, but oddly, in A4 size — I guess to avoid having to reduce it in size to fit American paper.

(For those who’ve never heard of it, this is a compilation of articles on basic and more advanced modelling techniques published in Military Modelling magazine in the 1980s, written by Bryan Fosten under the pseudonym Stan Catchpol.)

I'll bet that book, Jakko, will be a fascinating read. Modelling 40 years ago.

I never realised Stan Catchpole and the great illustrator Brian Fosten (The thin red line, by Bryan and his brother Don, is one of the great British uniform references) were one and the same…….cheers for that Jakko :thumb2:

The suspension looks really complicated - 4 wheel drive, independent suspension with four propshafts - oh, and 4 small anti bottoming wheels -and it looks ODD

Heard that described as looking like it’s “giving birth to a jeep”. Such a great description I thought it worth repeating…..

Post arrived this morning!!!


New nippers as the current ones are real cheapies, functional but cheap. I said to myself if I was enjoying the building I would upgrade so here they are.
Also a can of undercoat as I am less than impressed with the Vallejo Light Grey that I have been using. See how the can goes and if it's an improvement I'll morph across to it permanently!! Or until something else catches my eye!!

The UK edition of this was a magazine - someone showed in a build on here only a few days ago. Old, but still VERY useful!

Got one of these in 28mm. They are an odd series of vehicles. Some, in June 1940, were equipped with A/T guns as desperate measure tank hunters

Just dropped off as I have done the tamiya grand slam Lancaster a few times I have gone for a straight lancaster but I will be having the motors from the grand slam and hopefully get this one motorised.

Like I said, originally published in MilMod, but there was a book version too:

I couldn’t find that one, though, else it’s the one I would have bought instead
