Don't get to excited, it's more of s building aid, not a kit

 

[Wayne Little]

Wait a minute Terry, looking at the square wingtips I would say its an Ar 290A-2 variant.

@ imalko!

Those Tamiya zero kits go together lovely Dan!

I just got 2 of these on ebay. One will be the IAC what-if, the other an RAF desert hawk.

The old eyes aren't as good as they used to be especially for those itty bitty etched detail part, so I've lashed out on this new u-beaut magnifier lamp

 

[muller]

Very nice Vic! I used to use one of them when I had a job repairing pc motherboards, very handy for working with PE i'd say.

Holy crow! Nice Vic! ANd Keith, you enjoyed that P-40 so much you had to build it again

 

[Lucky13]

....and how many kits did that beauty set you back?

 

[109ROAMING]

Nice Keith! look forward to those builds!

Sweet little helper Vic!

 

[muller]

Been busy on ebay today! Got 2 resin cockpit upgrade sets for the P-40's I bought earlier.

Hopefully they will look like this when I paint them.

Wonderful Keith!

Nice crop of kits and bits Keith.
Now that's what I call a lamp Vic! Do you get a sun tan when you use it too! Think I'm getting close to having to invest in one of those beauties.

I really want one of those. Can I ask where you got it? Online maybe? Was it expensive?

Ok, maybe I don't want it as much as I NEED IT!

Nice Vic! I wish mine had the light as well.

Beautiful pieces Keith, the more I deal with resin, the more I like them.

Nice one Vic! I think equipment wise I could use a new desk thats a little larger. Between fighting for space for my laptop, uni work/books and then maybe modelling it gets a little crampt.

Nice grab Keith cant have enough P 40s in my opinion!

Keith that's a lovely cockpit set and I'm sure you will do it justice.....

About 1¼ 1:48 Fw 190s in Oz, cheap at half the price if my builds improve.

Unfortunately T, the suntans extra, but if I work outside on the deck, it's free.......8)

Yes Dirk I did find it on the web, then discovered that the retail outlet was just down the road so went to have a look. As you will see, it's a Beauty Salon retail outlet, so I suggest you look at your local retailers. I didn't think about looking on eBay and I have to say it was not cheap A$210, but it is a 5 dioptre (2.5 times) magnification with the addition of a further 12 dioptre (4 times) if I need it. The light is energy saving 28w fluoro. Happy hunting.
