These came in today. Techmod yellow lines are just good to have at hand, as are the Prop logos and stencils.
The Model Maker 1/48  PoAF 20 years of F-16 Service commemorative tail art was bought for my next build, the Kinetic 1/48 F-16A MLU of the old tooling, but i'm still trying to decide if i really want that one as whiff or real world so that may change when i get it ready for paint... :rolleyes:

Won a Hobby Boss 1:72 AH-1S (the one with the armored cockpit, single engine) via ev!ilbay for less than EUR 1ß,-, which is fine because the kit is very good.

Filler and plastic weld from uncle Frank earlier.

 We are absolute fans of THE BOAT , U96  ( have you ever seen the 5 hour tv edit ? ) .

So i just ordered a  modell in 1:350 cheap from Amazon .  Let's have a look whatif to do with it ...
I like the shape of the U.VII Type , and a rotten finish in dark grey , should look nice with some wings .


It's a Land Rover, NOT a Jeep . Like a Jeep, but for gentlemen.

all from Foundry
the street violence limited edition figures,  and  four other pack, the assassination squad, yakuza kingpin, young pugs and the mob,  a mix of rough and ready types and some suit wearing big wigs.

Emhar 1/72 Medium Mark A Whippet WWI tank, from a stall in Beverley market.  Nearly came away with an Airfix Tempest V too but resisted.
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

It's nice when you pick up something like that in an unexpected place  :thumbsup:

From the Traders and Swap & Sellers at the Ballarat NNL.

Arma Hurricane Mk 1 Trop - Western Desert.  One of the schemes in the box is a plane with the sand and spaghetti leading edges which causes much argument amongst rivet counters and JMNs.  Box art shows the spaghetti as red and blue making it even more likely to start riots... :wacko:

Lifecolor acrylic camouflage set - Royal Australian Air Force Boomerang Wirraway Spitfire Vengance.  Never used Lifecolor paints but it was 6 bottles for $10 and one of them is the elusive Foliage Green.

1/25 Revell '68 Dodge Charger R/T.  The Revell Germany boxing which doesn't have the engine choices (no Hemi, just the 440 Magnum).

This, which comes with a weapons set, a mask set, and a Hasegawa PE set.

And Brian made me buy this very large bag of sprues.  He is a very bad man leading me astray like that.  But as he pointed out, it does have a Blue Steel.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Some nice buys there Fred. The ARMA Hurricane is a good kit, if a little over engineered like a lot of their stuff. The Airfix Hurricane is almost as good, there's one iffy fit, which annoys, but it's also a "rag wing" version, so if you want it for a real world build your choices are limited.

Lifecolor paints are nice. I got their RAAF Set 1 years ago. The pots can dry out rather easily though if you are not careful.  :-\

Yep.  :thumbsup: It was a stall with toys and games, I nearly missed the models.  Walked away at first, but I'd seen the Whippet and it was burning a hole in my brain.  Nipped back when the Missus and kids where distracted in a clothes shop, made the excuse they didn't need me hanging around bored an didn't say we're I was going.  Best to ask for forgiveness than permission. ;)

I started a Whippet years ago but the instructions say to mount the guns during construction of the hull.  Naturally, I broke all but one.  You can add them after, but the kit needs a little modification to do that.  I thought I can dig the old one's out, put a handful back in and still have enough to whiff the new kit.

Those old Emhar kits were quite nice.

Yes, and they did an eclectic mix of subjects too, on the rare occasion they released a kit.  I think the Bedford O Types were the last released, I'd like them to release more kits, more often.  Hopefully the Bedford isn't the last.
