About as welcome as another tiger tank

Have enjoyed listening, can’t wait for the next series

#histscalemodels stolly cockpit ready to be sealed up

Got one of those in the stash, the thought of the rigging keeps putting me off, good luck

The vosper mtb is being reissued as well, on pre. Order at the moment

The tool is from 1978, but the kit is a 2025 re- issue, so new plastic and decals

Thanks, as I say it was quite fun, it’s all about managing expectations before you start, it’s a near 50 year old tool so there will be flash and filling to do.

#histscalemodels my first boat/ship since I was a kid, which was about the same time this tool was made. Airfix vintage classic that was fun to build despite the filling and general fit issues

Boom! Thanks to @redfivemodels.bsky.social @tonyrowntree.bsky.social @woollywings.bsky.social @almurray.bsky.social Paul, Ceri & everyone who bought a raffle ticket, build or bought a kit, merch anything…. An awesome score for an awesome cause.. same again next year?? Hells yes.

Stick with it, the end result is worth it, just the tracks to negotiate and it’s all plain sailing. If you are fitting the roof cage there are two PE strips, you may want to bin those and make some out of aluminium foil, much easier to bend to the correct shape

Thanks

#histscalemodels Also. Managed to get this one finished,. Airfix Lysander, a better kit than my efforts suggest

#histscalemodels making the most of the bank holiday here in England, out of the box M3Stuart by Tamiya

#histscalemodels okay let’s get this started, first boat/ship in about 45 years .

Notice on the inside the armour site says they are no longer shipping to the states for this reason

#histscalemodels and that’s it done

You might want to check out inside the armour, they do some nice 3d printed upgrade parts if you are into some aftermarket upgrades

Of course you could miss a lot of the engine, you won’t see it unless you build it with the covers open. Depends on how you are with getting it right even when you can’t see it in the end

Just make sure the chassis is true otherwise it will throw everything out and watch the engine compartment, the instructions aren’t very clear and there isn’t much room if it goes wrong

The carrier turns into a great kit, but will fill your swear jar. I built the Riich 6pdr to go with mine

#histscalemodels #kitoff4victory my contribution for kitoff is nearly there, with 5 weeks to spare

Exciting news, well I think it is, I've created a range of T-Shirts for #Kitoff4victory. Every purchase donates £10 directly to FinleysTouch. You can get yours here....

Plus it's free shipping this weekend so WNTL?

Uncanny.

Great to see so many inmates from @primordialradio.bsky.social #prfam on the inmate list

@wardxvi.bsky.social must have been released early for good behaviour.

My first GPS circa1996, complete with 100m accuracy

Can’t go wrong with a chieftain

#histscalemodels slow progress with the Lysander, not sure where it’s going to live when I finish it, quite the wingspan
