As seen on other sites, I thought it might be good to start one here
I was sent out on a shopping trip today but had to make a bit of a deture to marks models in newcastle.
While browsing around I picked up a tamiya scriber, some tamiya fine primer in a rattle can and some rod and tube by evergreen.
That's my lot for today.

Well I didn't get them today but I did put in an order on HobbyLink Japan: An F-16A in 1/72nd from Hasegawa for €6.00, amazing price for a Hasegawa kit. Weapons Set V also from Hasegawa and at a great price.

Was at Duncannon on Sunday and picked up another bloody Bae Hawk for the Telford group build from Walshie!!! This one is the 1/48 Airfix one, to be finished oob in current black scheme. That's the 3 scales covered for the group build  I will be having nightmares about hawks before November at this rate.

Ah bugger... I was in Duncannon on Friday, and while I was there I was thinking to myself 'wasn't there something about models and Duncannon?'. Is there a shop down there? J.

Jason
The annual Military vehicle and re-enactors show was on over the Saturday and Sunday of the BH weekend in
the old fort at Duncannon.
I went down for the day on Sunday and we had a great day between seeing the sites in the Fort and spending
the rest of the day on the beach.
Unfortunately there is no model related shop that I am aware of in Duncannon, but Paul Walsh from Dublin was down there
for the couple of days and had a few of his wares available.

Hi Vincent, Ah, that makes more sense, here was I thinking I was missing a model shop! Now I can just give out about the bad timing, I could have been there on Saturday instead! :) J.

As much as I don't need more kits, I saw this on an auction on eBay this morning, took a chance on a bid & the auction ended tonight & I was successful So, for approx. €18 + shipping, I now have an Eduard 1:48 Fw190 D-9 Late Profipack Kit on its way to me. Very happy, I've wanted to try the Eduard ProfiPacks, and the Fw190, for a little while. There's a nice review of the kit here : Eduard 1:48 Fw190 D-9 LateIt'll be added to the stash, after the Hawks! J.

I had to pick up another Airfix Buccaneer today as I brutally butchered the canopy on the kit I already have; canopies and I just don't seem to work together very well.
Sometime in the future I'll take the new kit, do it up as a Gulf War model and cover the canopy with a tarp. I imagine they often covered the canopies in the hot desert when not in use to keep them cool.

That's a shame about the canopy, but it sounds like you've a good plan for the spare Buccaneer anyhow! Did you visit Weston to have a look at the Buccaneer they have displayed / parked outside? J.

It still could be used as a matrice for manufacturing of new vacformed one. Not as hard to do as many people think

No, I haven't been to Westin yet, it's a little out of the way for me but I'll get there one of these days. FiSe wrote:Do you still have the original canopy then? Is it somehow damaged or just messed up with paint?

Stopped into Banba/Toymaster at the back of Jervis St on the way to the Dublin meet today and got a Revell 1/72 Snowberry for a mere €80  I justify it to myself on the grounds it'll keep me happy and quiet for about 6 months....once I figure what AM sets I can afford....but this has been a grail kit of mine for years :d/

Today I got an Aoshima 1:24 DeLorean from Back To The Future (Part 1)  The plan is to eventually collect all four and build them at the same time (for consistency reasons). Vinny

I received an order I placed on the hlj website 2 weeks ago.
I got a set of 1/24 19" oz wheels, some paint, taymia drill set
and last but not least 1/48 Has f/a18c hornet. I got all this delivered
for less than Hannants wanted for the hornet alone before delivery.
