Our Latest Acquisitions Since 2017

That is cool. A kit of a working tool. I didn’t know such things existed.

This just arrived and comes with a very complete set of decals but I’m going to go a different way, I’m building the wild weasel version.

I don’t know what it is about two seater Jets but I seem to really be gravitated towards them.

Great score for the twin seater Hun and decal set. Personally I would be torn between choosing either a Misty FAC or Wild Weasel 1 for that kit. :thinking::face_with_diagonal_mouth:

Flags Of Our Fathers was a good read. Bradley also wrote Flyboys which was even better in my estimation. Some disturbing stuff went on at Chichi-jima

I did enjoy Flyboys,very sobering,also how close Bush Sr came to being captured,how would have that changed history !!!

That Time Life series is great. I managed to get them when they were new. Still have the full set. They do pop up once in a while at the used book stores, but I’ve never seen the whole set together. .

That’s exactly my dilemma! I’m torn between the Misty FAC and Wild Weasel too. I bought the Caracal sheet specifically because I wanted those options, and I still haven’t decided which direction I’m going.

Fortunately, I’ve got a while before this one reaches the bench, so I can procrastinate on that decision for a little longer. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Today I got this LMG stand with biplane module. I guess it’s going to be my next build!

That’s a pretty neat stand. I really like the measurement markings on it. I just printed a basic stand for myself, , but I think I’ll try to modify the next with some markings.

That’s nice. I bought my stand from a fellow modeler who is an avid 3d printer user and has turned it into a bit of a business.

I have a similar one I picked up on Amazon that was 3D printed, but I think I like yours better. That little piece underneath is a nice touch.

You should post a link to your friend’s business. I’d definitely like to take a look at what else he makes.

Sure @Floki can you oblige?

Well these have arrived before I got the basecoats on my Zero, but better not to be finding myself waiting on the Royal Mail…

I’m open to suggestions as to where to begin when I’m going for a uniform Pearly White / Buff sort of scheme. I feel like the black wash will be a bit too harsh
