My honey has come. Also got some crushed oil drums and a couple of figures to go with it. Giving it to her indoors to wrap up for my Xmas present. Interesting story about the honey but you will have to wait until after Xmas. Barrel and small shrine are for my crusader. Two new bottles of ammo mig for my collection. Retail therapy!!!!!!

Nice one Tommy, that Honey is a grand build fella. The tracks are a little trying but they look good and far better than the rubber ones

Sweet score John! Hey, when you decide to build those T-80's let me know, I have a couple I can do alongside yours... in 1/72 scale of course.

here's my latest, unfortunately not plastic but essential nonetheless. Lately I've noticed that the old airbrush was not spraying quite right and I could not get the tight lines I'm used to. Diagnosed as a worn out needle and nozzle plus cap & crown. Not cheap by any means but at least the old airbrush will be running as new from now on.

Certainly essential Pete, and they'll last a few years too

Pete, yeh I replaced just the nozzle and needle on my Iwata Neo a couple of years ago and it’s not cheap compared to how much the AB cost. Certainly made a difference in how it worked though!

Yes it does make a huge difference. Last time I changed the above parts was about 5 years ago so pretty good value really. I think people forget that an airbrush is a precision tool and parts do wear out but luckily it's an easy job to revive them.

Had a visit from the postdude earlier The Airfix Jagdpanzer 38(t) is straight rebox of the Academy kit . That kit is my opinion the best on the market . They have however added some rather odd decals, but hey, it don't matter as I have enough others in the spares box . And yes a T34 and a PAK 40 will appear soon

Excellent scores guys! Pete, I know how it is with the airbrushes. Mine have been acting up. There's a local shop named Coast Airbrush that I need to take mine down to for a full tune-up. Hopefully they can fix the NEO's propensity to blowback every time I try to use it.

I built the early version Hetzer many years ago and a nice little kit. Probably the only disappointment was the perforated toolbox where PE would have made a difference.

Looking forward to seeing the Hetzer, they look good with the hard edged camo IMHO
