Neomega 48th Buccaneer cockpit

Models for sale sanding pad set (they didnt have the individual ones I wanted so I just bought the variety pack)

Various Syhart decals, 2 48th F-16 specials and the 48th hellenic F-4 sheet.

A grip for one of my airbrushes

I cant beleive I came away with money and only bought 4 kits. There was a dragon 35th scale rail gun at half price which kept tempting me but I resisted.

I will be doing a full report on the show next week as Im off work using up some hols but if anyone wants to share any pics or there experiences at the show please feel free as there may have been something I missed

Thats a nice list of `toys`
Looking forward to the report and pics
Any Revell 1 48 Wessex there ?

[viper3111]

I didnt see any, I didnt even know they had one out

I wouldnt mind a 48th wessex

[viper3111]

Now that would be nice

[benyboy]

I have seen a few of the `Queens Flight` kits going for silly money recentley. There is a 1 48 Choctaw kit but I cant remember who does it.

So far I bought the new Italeri 1.72 C-27 Spartan, Dutch F16 and Apache 2009/10 display decal's in 1.48th and an Airfix Mi26 Hind A/D in 1.72. Will have another good look round tomorrow

[viper3111]

Ah round 2, I hope you find some good bargains Dude. Keep an eye out for that F-16AM for those decals

I think I can feel a future F-16 GB coming on

[markmarples]

i have obviously failed in my attempt to use my telepathy skills for everyone to make hawks!! oh well more for me

hope everyone had a good time

[viper3111]

Dont worry I will add the hawks GB to the next set of voting along with a couple of others so we could be doing it next

Great show today, some seriously good models on display, both on the competition tables and throughout the club and SIG stands

Treated myself to a number of shiny new kits, though I am regretting not getting the Trumpy 1/32 Flogger whilst I had the chance, should've have learned by now to buy on sight

Picked up the following, all in 1/72:

Hasegawa Kate, Frank and Oscar
Italeri C-27J Spartan- brand spanking new, and very nice too
Revell B-17G- new tool
Academy F/A-18D
Revell BF 109G
Fujimi Raptor- expensive, but simply stunning

A great day all round

[MarkG]

should've have learned by now to buy on sight

I've been telling myself that for year's
Must admit, the C-27 looks quite impressive, looking forward to starting mine

[viper3111]

Ive heard good things about that raptor and from what I saw of it it's worth it

What have they done to the new tool B-17, just re molded it or is there new stuff as well?

Yeh, the Raptor is lush. First kit in scale I've seen with the raised panel work on the surfaces. The detail is much improved over the already excellent Revell kit, particularly in the cockpit. Whether the improvements are worth £20 more I'm not so sure, but, as with the Dragon Meteor, I don;t regret buying it, so perhaps it is worth the money?

The B-17 is a brand new tool, packed full of interior detail, and reasonably priced at £18.99. My only gripe with the kit is the upper turret, which looks too tall and rounded, and the panel detail is perhaps a little heavy in places, but other than that it's lovely

Looked for a stall selling technique and inspiration so ended with another Nimrod, to be done as the RAE Bedford scheme, a Revell 1/48F and a box of scalpel blades.

[MarkG]

Nice idea Dave that'd look awesome painted up in that scheme

[viper3111]

Some nice stuff there, and a free spit as well

Cant be bad
