Yesterdays Show - Dragons new StuG III Ausf. G Late with Waffle Zim (6633) & other stuff:
Hi guys,
I attended one of the biggest one-day annual shows in the UK yesterday. We go every year and it didn't dissapoint. It seemed all the traders made it but not the public so it was fairly quiet giving me a chance to search for bargains.
I'd intended to buy the new Dragon 6633 StuG kit and probably a Nashorn too, not to mention a good few AK products!
On arrival I saw the StuG kit for £40 - AND BOUGHT IT! (Phil on the stand had it marked up at £45 but he was one of the guys I see at my club occasionally so he let me off a fiver). As it turns out that trader had only bought one with him, the one I had, and NONE of the other traders had that kit. So many people asked me which stall I got it from! LOL!
It's a perfect looking kit, Magic Tracks, a nice PE rear deck rack, a great fighting compartment with radios etc and a great gun assembly! Metal Shurzen if you want them - everthing.
The best thing was the Zim, not too regular and very deep and crisp! I bought a replacement RB barrel for a fiver but I'm going with the Magics on this one and my now current wip Panzer IV - Friuls are getting stupidly expesive. Armour Models who I get my Friuls from were there selling them for the usual £26, another stand had them on sale for £40 a box! 
Here's a few photos of the kit and all the other stuff I bought!
Some other stuff I got - Migs excellent looking 'MUD' in rough and smooth textures. I haven't tried it yet but it looks EXACTLY like Chocolate Mousse! I have seen it on models and it look amazing. Also some 1.5mm mini masking tape, mainly for Periscope lens masking, Mr. Hobby Metal Primer, Mig Glass Wash for these Jeeps I'm planning on building, a smaller A5 sized cutting mat, another RB barrel for my next wip - Panzer IV., some varied light-to-rough sanding sticks (better than Emery Board imo) and some Scarlet Red Model Air:
I've wanted this wooden handled razor saw for ages - it comes with several saw blades right down to 0.25mm thickness. This will really help me!
Great Wall Hobby's excellent German Jerry can set:
This was only £3 - Achtung Panzer by Guderian and Swastika Flag kits with scale thickness cotton of the right colour. They supply 5 Swastikas on paper and a load of thin Maroon cotton but I'll photocopy the Swastikas and should get about ten in total - only £1 for the set. Stick the cut-out swastika on the cotton with UHU type glue and then just airbrush with matt varnish to stop the cotton comong apart. PVA glue and water mix to be used when applying to vehicle to set the 'flag' hard. The guy selling them was on a display stand and was selling them - he'd used them on a few builds of his and they looked very good 
A nice haul! I had wanted to get the Dragon Nashorn too but after looking at it I decided to wait as it's a monster kit that I will need a fair bit of time on - maybe next year!
Oddly enough not ONE stand has AK products on sale? I had a list of their stuff that I wanted too 
Cheers guys,
Ben
