Good thing the shelves are bare.......

 

Picked this up on friday at my LHS.   I'm not a huge Luft 46 guy but since there is actual physicalversion of this I got it.   I won a Pioneer2 kit of this at our last show but it was so primative I decided to get the revell version.  Much more detailed, should be fun.

Eagle & TJ: Those are some impressive hauls!!! 

John: That's a gem of a kit! The one I built for the 229 GB years ago went together like silk.

Ok someone needs to stop me!   I went to a different LHS yesterday looking for three things, and I said I'd only buy one of the three things on my list if they were there.  well none of them were there so I brought this home.

It's a beautiful kit!  great panel lines and decent ordinance.    May have to look for different decals, we'll see.

John

Well, come on. You can't visit the LHS and come out empty handed.

Funny you should say that, cuz I was actually thinking the exact same thing standing looking at the wall of models, I came all the way accross town,  I have to get something even if I get in trouble when I get home, or the bil comes in the mail!

 

John

 

Yeah, waist of time otherwise.

This is what I picked up this month

Then I got these two at the Roscoe Turner show and swap meet down in indianapolis earlier this month. The RAF Defiant was given to me by a guy who struck up a conversation with me over the Black widow. I never have heard of the company classic airframes and have never built any British subject before either so should be fun.

Nice haul Rambo. That 251 is a nice kit, not seen it in that boxing before.

Thanks Bish. Like all orange box kits it has some of the fancy parts removed like the two part driver seat but I got at least one in my spares bin. The instructions call for the passenger seat to be built along with the front radio but I don't think that is true about the 251/6. It also comes with the workable magic tracks so another plus.

I added the front radio on mine. Photo's show an antenna in that location. I did the same for my AFV club /3 D. I think it would still have that radio as well as the other for higher comm's. And my Panzer Tracts referance books mention it being fited. Either way, the seat would stil be in place. All of my Dragon 251's have come with Magic Tracks and i even have extras to use on other kits, i do like those track sets.

These arrived steadily over the last month or so.

Sheese.....you going to start a new LHS?

That will keep you out of trouble for a week or two.  Would keep me in the doghouse forever when the lady saw all that.

HOLY SMOKE!

Have the old blue CJ-7 two in one on the way, as well as an old Revell 1/72 PBY-5, and just got in the mail today the old Heller 1/400 Surcouf with the resin and PE upgrade from Germany.  Along with a set of decals for the PBY for a NZ SAR bird stationed in the Solomons at the end of WWII

Did you win the Lotto or rob a bank?! Damn that’s a whole stash in there!

Surcouf

The two Type VII-C's I got from another member here

The CJ-7 I picked up to build for my friend of close to 40 years

Couple of pics of the 4"/50 deck gun from Shapeways, for my 1/72 Gato being done as USS Wahoo as she left Pearl on her last patrol. Absolutely a beautiful piece of work, and the 20mm's I got earlier are just as nice.

like the Surcouf.  Those Shapeways look like decent pieces.

RX7850

I'm shopping in the wrong store's , I just need to show up at your place..... since you now have ALL the kit's on the planet ! L O L .

My wife did some more "shopping" for building supply's today, so when she was "distracted" I snuck over to Hobby Lobby and got these.

I got the Corvette of the "Clearence" shelf for $7.50. I only bought it for part's ... ( I dont care for Corvette's )

So did you have to hide them amongst some 2x4's to sneak into the house.

Rambo

Them guns do look nice I've been wondering about 3d printed pieces for my fine molds falcon just didn't know about how smooth the finish was on them.

 

I ordered some Star Wars droids from Shapeways and was pretty pleased with them.  The surfaces is a little rough depending on the type of material it's printed with.  I found the clearer parts were smoother than the white ones.  But they were smoothed out nicely under a coat of paint.  I think the parts for the Falcon would be fine if you primed them before painting.

good to know thank you.

I thought I'd give one of these Metal Earth models a try.

Actually, It was a couple of box's of screw's that I used for "Camoflauge .

( Gotta remember that for next time ! )

Good thinking. The things we have to do all for some plastic

Somtimes i think it would be easier and safer to smuggle illegal drugs or another woman into the house.

Not that i plan on trying it.

Man,  what scale is that? 1/10,000 ???

I "almost" bought one of those too.  But I think I need some vacation time first..... so I can be totally relaxed when I build one. ( Less likely to "Smash it " due to stress.)

Please post some picture's of it when you get to it.
