It was my birthday on Fri, one year older and yet still no wiser. For the first time my other half got me some model kits. She wanted to get somthing that was not my norm. So in other words, not WW2 German. She had told me a few months ago and i said i would build what ever she got, the only no no was a galleon ship kit.
Well, this is what she got.
She got the Warrior because i used to drive them. She thought it would be as big as my normal armour kits, 1/35th. And she was a bit upset when she realised how small it was. But i reasured her it was fine and i have some soldiers that will go with it nicely. She hadn’t seen me build a ship, and liked the look of the Victorious. And she likes the look of the WW1 aircraft so she got the 0/400. I don’t think she realised how much was involved in the rigging, but will be a nice change. But any advice will be nice.
I am looking forward to building these as i can relax a bit when i do.
And today i used the money i got to get this.
Well, i got to have some normality. And as a bonus, it was £20 less than the price on the box.
You luck dog, Bish! You got an 0/400! I’ve been waiting for sooo long until the re-release. I just put one on Pre-order today at my not-so LHS. They aren’t available in the US yet.
Thanks guys. Watchmen, no doubt it will be over your side of the pond very soon. I don’t think its been out very long over here.
Hutch, my 32nd stash is juts a small select number of German aircraft, as i don’t want to deflect from 72nd. So this is the last of 3 109’s i am getting and i wanted this for the Marseille markings. I think i will do the Sept 42 aircraft when i get round to it. Any idea when you will do yours.
Happy birthday! [^][G] I am currently working on that HMS Victorious. I sanded off the armor plating on the hull per the FSM crew saying the scale is too small to notice and it shouldnt be there. Its been a few months …year… and im still on the first few steps. I will post pictures when photobucket is working. I really wish I knew why PB isnt working for me. [:S]
Sub, its a nice looking kit. It might even convince me to do other WW1 aircraft.
Ripcord, if you are useing the new PB, i would suggest switching back to the old. The new one is a pain in the butt. Look forward to seweing the pics, and the tip about the armour is noted.
I haven’t decided when I will build mine. I am almost finished with my 1:32 P-51B and was looking to do the 109 in a winter scheme. I may just make this my next project…when do you plan on starting yours?
Thanks. Chris, i think it will be some challenge especially as i am used to monoplanes. The only bi-plane i have built was a swordfish many years ago. I will deffinatly be posting pics when i build it, probably early in the new year.
Hutch, it will be a while before i build the 109. I haven’t built a 32nd kit yet, just been building up a small stash. My main issue now is display space, i am running out for the kits i am building. Once i solve that, i want to get some 32nd built. I reckon the 109 will be a couple of years away yet.
I just put one on Pre-order today at my not-so LHS. They aren’t available in the US yet.
