It's a nice kit H, builds well 

Just arrived

You cannot view this attachment.

Why you may ask, bearing in mind I already have one ? Well mainly what sold it was the price. £13.99 for an exceptionally nice kit, which includes canopy mask, 2 sets of etch (one pre coloured) and 6 markings options, 2 of which don't involve mottle  . Value for money or what ?

Oh and a couple of resin sets for my Airfix Me 410's, wheels etc. Hoping to get back to this next week.

Arrived today AZ model Martin Baker MB 6. Due to seeing the korean war night fighter version in a post on here, I just had to do one. Now to see if I have amy suitable night fighter decals for it. 

Arrived today from Kingkit

Some more bits and pieces arrived today. From eBay

1 x 1/72 MPM 72501 Bristol Blenheim Mk. V Been after one for a while and this popped up in an unrelated search so I got it while I could.

From Jadlam Racing

1 x 1/72 IBG 72544 Fw 190D-9 JABO/STURM Rocket Hunter. Lee is responsible for this as he suggested the spare engine cover be used on the Dragon Ta 152 C I recently bought. With a quick look at the kit, I may be buying more and using the Academy 190 D's for whiffs.
1 x 1/72 Special Hobby SH 72419 Folland Gnat FR.1 'Finnish Recce Fighter'. I bought it to make up the minimum order value.

From ArmyCast

1 x 1/72 AC 72022: AH-64A Peren-Matrix. It's an upgrade set for the Israeli AH-64 with lots of changes to the stub wings and pylons and a few other bits and bobs.

From  Jacksons Models & Railways

EXPO Modelmakers Scale Rule in 1/35 scale. I already have a 1/72 scale ruler from the same company, and I am wondering if they do a 1/600 for my ship models

Given that the upper fuselage of the IBG 190s pinches in too much thus the canopies given are too narrow, the spare canopies out of the Academy D can be used to fudge them.

Of the IBG D-9s, the rocket Hunter is the one to have, as it comes with two wings, one with the outer cannons, and the R4M rocket racks.

I found some STARFIX kits for cheap , two sweet Mirage III for the mistress and one F4 PHANTOM  ,
yeah I love the ugly thing so much , never again was power so pure to see 

Ok , the F15 is another Big Bang .

A Hasegawa 1:72 Chruchill Mk. I and a Trumpeter 1.72 Merkava Mk III, both primarily as a donor banks for tank projects.
