Latest Acquisitions - pt.3
Re: Latest Acquisitions - pt.3
Along with the odourless thinners and the SHAR, I also picked this up yesterday - I've wanted to build one ever since I got into modelling back in 2010 - I just never got around to it for some reason.

Good for you!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
Re: Latest Acquisitions - pt.3
That's a great kit. I have that one in the stash and have built the navy version.


Thanks,
John

It's been well over 45 years since I've done a Navy Skyraider kit. I can't remember the brand but it was either the Revell or Monogram kit.

I love them. Get the grey colored sander. It's an upgraded version and works a lot better than the original.Stuart wrote: ↑Sun May 10, 2026 12:03 pmMike how have you got on with these? I was thinking of asking for them for my birthday.Medicman71 wrote: ↑Sun May 03, 2026 3:39 pm

Made a LHS run and found a kit that I've been wanting for a long time. Also got some more Hobby Zone organizers for the bench. Haven't completely set them up yet.

Nice! I’d love to have some HobbyZone Organizers for my bench. So far, what I have is suiting me all right.
