Haven't been at the bench for a bit, but, running the risk of becoming a perpetual monkey with a button internet shopper, I did do a bit of.......cough cough......ahem.....impulsive internet shopping. I have been busy at the post office picking up items that have been arriving willy nilly for the last few months that were purchased when I was enjoying a month long Covid vacation, such as some Akan Lacquers for WWII VVS from Hobby Colors of Greece.
Decided to bulk up on a few Gunze RLM colors, along with some Vallejo thinner and Tamiya Extra thin, from Sunward Hobbies, to help offset shipping costs......
And because I use a lot of this tape I bulked up on it in a package deal on Ebay from a seller in Japan, no great saving per say, except for the lack of shipping charges or gasoline costs
And the icing on the cake, Special Hobby had a sale on for "members" where every week for 4 weeks they had a few different kits at, if I recall correctly, 50% off. I decided if they posted up one of the 1/48 FAA kits I was interested in, I'd grab one. Only took just under 2 1/2 months to get here, which was expected under the circumstances.
I also bought and recieved this from Ebay just before the world went wonky, but here it is anyway
Happy Happy Happy
