Quote from: Wardukw on March 06, 2024, 11:05:38 AMWell it was Wednesday yesterday here ..and in Australia strangely    and it's turned into one of those days ...happily and badly at the same time .
I'll explain..went to my FLHS for a lookin and walked out with this lot ..all 35th scale and all built..badly.

Now bigger stuff .
1/35th Trumpeter Mil 24V Hind E
1/32nd Academy F16 SUFA ..missing its wings..emailed Academy to see if replacements are possible as this is a gift and no kidding..for $40 bucks I ain't complaining 😉
1/32nd Tamiya F4J ..don't get excited cause this is umm well 90% not there ..it's just the fuselage but the goodies ..Resin bits ..it's got 2 sets of CAM Mk82 bombs with fuse extenders ..2 sets of CAM multiple ejector racks ..and don't know the brand but a full replacement cockpit..a pe set I can't read plus a Eduard detail set .

That's it for now ..now the bad thing..absolutely no idea where to put this lot 

OK update ..Found the wings for the F-16 SUFA

Quote from: Captain Canada on March 06, 2024, 05:04:58 PMLocal Yokel was selling kits on FB. I snagged a 72nd scale Hobbycraft Grumman Tracker for 15 bucks. A bit of a dog of a kit, but couldn't pass it up.

How many of us have used the "bit of a dog, but at that price I couldn't pass it up" excuse in our time ?      And not always about plastic

Assuming you needed a truck to get it all home it's easy. Just leave them in the truck. 

or refit the aircraft doing the delivery with longer wings.

Ev!lbay informed me that I have won a Hobby 2000 (ex Fujimi) 1:72 Nakajima J1N1-S 'Gekko' night fighter.

Naturally........................ 

A couple of items from eBay today

1 x 1/72 Airfix B.A.C. Canberra B(I).6. hopefully, it will become a TT.18.

1 x 1/72 Pegasus Fairy Albacore as a parts donor as I am waiting on the Special Hobby Albacore for a r/w build.

from Airmodel

1 x 1/72 AM-024 RF-8/TF-8 Crusader to become a RN machine
1 x 1/72 AM-6001 Instrument Bezels
1 x 1/72 AM-6028 Luftwaffe Liegestuhl / Deckchair.

The last two items to make up the minimum order price.

If i ever get to build a 1/32 fighter, it'll be a Viper for sure. Very cool gift!

Mate if it wasnt a F-16 based fighter i would be very surprised 
Building the SUFA isnt anything new for me as i built one for a ol mate many years ago and its typical Academy...goes together well and comes with heaps of bits ya dont need ...IE ,,,alot of weapons 

Another ev!lbay win: finally got hands on a affordable Hasegawa 1:72 F11F Tiger. They come with irrational price tags these days (just like the Cougar kit) but won an auction with just EUR 6,50,-, less than the national postage. Strange, but nice catch - I feel inclined to make a German Marineflieger machine from it, with a Norm '76 scheme, as a supersonic stopgap between the Seahawk and the Starfighter.

Looking forward to see that! 

Having not been able to discipline myself on the Evilbay app, I received four packages this week, containing a Zvezda Su-35, an Italeri Il-28, a Dragon set of Russian air-to-air missiles and finally a set of Hasegawa US guided bombs and gun pods. Some of them came in the same bargain, so I couldn't help it, and all in all, I might have to delete the app as the build/buy ratio is well below 0,2 at the moment..
