I'm trimming it down so might find one in the secondary stash later.

Dropped into the local Hobbycraft (I'm MILES from an LHS at the mo..........) for some more Revell Contacta Pro glue, which nowadays comes on a HUGE carboard backing plate for some reasin. 

At the same time I picked up some masking tape of various widths, a couple of cubes of Revell paint and a couple of tubs of Tamiya similar. While I was collecting that lot a 1/72 Italeri F-35B kit hurled itself off the shelf and into my shopping basket! 

You just can't trust these kits these days.

On the way back I thought of a way to Whiff it though, so all is not lost. It WON'T be grey though!

Don't you just hate it when that happens?

Not quite, but something on similar lines anyway. 

I just scored a plane ive wanted for at least 20yrs. .a Grumman Tigercat.
It's a AMT 48th scale one..now I've got no idea how good this kit might be but I'm gonna sort it ..oh it also comes with a AM set of resin wheels.

Good stuff! Always loved the Tiger Cat: it'd be great to see what you do with it!

Awaiting delivery of 2 x 1/72 Quckboost Hamilton four blade propellers,  two tubes of Revell putty/filler. For my flat insect window and door screens. I'm pleased with the magnetic edging fly screen which is why I ordered another one for the kitchen window. As to the balcony door this will have one half of the two part set as the other door screen will be cut in half so that I can cover the two windows in my hobby room.

Always had a liking for it myself. Built at least one and I've got another Monogram 1/72 one in the stash. Always slightly surprised there hasn't been a modern tooling of it.

Didn't Sword do one? I've a Revell boxed Monogram one that'll get Centaurus engines at some point.
