Found this kit for a good price , i want that big center tank . 

Maybe a buddy from the club will take the rest ...

I've got that B-58 kit too, in the ever popular 1/64 scale. 

And the tank surely IS big too! It looks as if they designed the kit so the landing gear retracts, but I'm darned if I'd try that with the legs as spindly as they are! 

I picked up a few things at St Ives aka Brampton Show on Sunday.
All in 1/72

Special Hobby SB2C-5 "Final Version" - won this in the raffle, plan to sell it on as not my thing. Lots of resin and etch inside.

Military Wheels M966 TOW Carrier and M988 Light Truck. These are short run injection kits from a Ukraine firm. Bought for £5 each. Looking inside I can see lots of small parts. Thinking I should have spent the £10 on a Revell kit instead   

OH Models decal sheet OHM72001 - Hawker Hunter Papyrus scheme as worn on J-4040. This will go on the Mistercraft kit in the stash for my club display at Telford.

Perfect to pose with your Matchbox, Hot Wheels and Johnny Lightning diecast cars.

Use the rest and change it to a scale o rama 1/72nd scale fighter.

Aaagh!  The alleged joys of kits made to fit a standard box size.

Oops, just looked at the bag, and the P-51D I picked up last week is a Nichimo product, not Fujimi. Don't think I've ever built a Nichimo kit.

Picked up 3 packets of .5mm brass rod and a pack of .3mm aswell .
Also grabbed some more Tamiya extra thin glue plus my normal pile of blades .

You guys will see soon what the brass rod is being used for

Well, it's only half a tank.

From BNA I got two sagged wheel sets;  One with fat tyres for a Schwimmwagen and one for  a HEMTT.   I don't have a HEMTT in the stash but I do have a number of other kits which might look good with these wheels...

I also got some camo masking putty.  I keep reading about this and want to see if its any better than blu tac or play doh.

Arrived today:

DACO Decals:

-1/144  Belgian F-16A/B/MLU decals (new release, fresh off the presses)
-1/144 Belgian C-130H Hercules Decals
-1/144 Belgian (T)F-104G Starfighter decals
-1/72 Mirage 5 MirSIP upgrade decals

and as a nice bonus, they threw in an additional Mirage and C-130 decalset for free (color error).
these wil be usefull for future WHIF builds

Fred it depends what brand it is..the Ammo and AK Interactive stuff are extremely good ..I use AKs one and it's brilliant..it will dip tho if ya leave it sitting for ages but still it cleaned up perfectly 👌
I know of a couple of other brands which work pretty good to ..as for their names ..nope..don't remember 

Care package from Poland that contained:
AModel Su-1
AModel Su-3
AModel Yak-15
AModel Yak-17
AModel Yak-21
AModel MiG I-270
KP La-5, 5F & 5UTI
AZ Martlet Mk I

and all for a reasonable price, especially when compared to some being asked over here.

Not really seen any of the Yak's made up so will be interesting to see how they look once cobbled together.

Alexen Models are the makers.  Not heard of them before.  It was an impulse purchase.
