Back from the shop....LF's winter projects.
Two items at the back I just couldn't resist.

The RAF vehicles and control tower should look nice on the shelves scattered amongst the Corgi collection.
Had a quick peek and the Stirling is in remarkably good condition considering its' age. Whirly's had a retool apparently - looks good to me, but what do I know?
Picked up a Badger airbrush too - thought I'd finally give one a go. I daresay I'll take to it and upgrade later. I fear this aeroplane business is a much tighter discipline than base-coating a tank and dirtying it up.
Off to light the candles in my Whirly shrine now. That'll be a major dithering exercise - what colours to do second one...hmmmmmm....![]()
If my memory serves correctly (a very big if....), the Airfix Stirling comes with a tractor and bomb trollies, L_F. Have a look-see, just to confirm that I've not finally gone ga-ga.
Definitely a model to display wheels-down, and the obvious centre-piece for your vehicles, I'd have thought, though you'll need a large base to put them all on.
I'm tempted to get myself a Whirlwind kit, and do a little customisation on it.![]()
Yep - bomb trolley train was a deciding factor. Checked - all thereAnd you're right about that tall undercart, known to swallow unwary mechanics whole, fatally.
Quite a few figures in the vehicle and tower kits too - in nice 'hard' placcy! - was thinking about getting the soft RAF personnel set and basing them on pennies. It's actually cheaper than buying curtain weights or washers, I remember from my wargaming days.
Much research ahead on proper colours for vehicles - Airfix suggest 1960's schemes or 'Ice Cold In Alex' ambulance. Any pics to hand, gents?
And just remember to glue the wings on the right way round, you sacreligious reprobate!![]()
Thanks for the flowers. I have to admit that I'm a noob on figure painting. These 2 french tankists are the 2nd and 3rd figure I've ever painted. I hope the next ones - 2 british tankist for Matilda get even better.Originally posted by Jagdgeschwader2:
Your figure painting is just amazing Kimura! I have so much trouble with small scale figures. After seeing yours I think I might do a little research and have another go at it. I have two pilots I'd like to get painted.
