This was an unexpected catch as they're quite unusual here, and I've been contemplating getting an old Heller T.2 instead. However, this is (obviously) a much better kit, and it will be interesting to see how it will go together.

That Sword T2/4 is a nice kit, but the PE stuff for the cockpit is SO small! 

I've had one in build, as G-VTOL, for ages and still not done the cockpit as yet. (sigh)

It seemed to be the cast off orphan child that nobody wanted tasked with the critical mission of defeating the U-boats. It seems Coastal Command should have gotten a lot more support. Anyway, lots of whiff potential for converting aircraft to attacking U-boats. IIRC there were dive bombing B-24s at some point?

Dad was Coastal Command, 209 Squadron, and you're right about the whiffing potential. Did one myself a couple of years ago. Link to article: Fairey Battle IIA

Just scored this .
Begemot Flanker SU-27 decal set 1/48 scale.
It's got Ukrainian markings which are going to be needed 

Ordered the Vallejo equivalent of RAF NIVO green to go on a "Munich goes hot" Spitfire and Hurricane.

From kingkit
Hasegawa F-4E in 72nd  scale. This will get modern aams on it, IRST, and possibly a one piece canopy, also an engine upgrade. This along with the other F-4's will be part of a weapons and avionics test and evaluation squadron of the Honduras air force.

A model I was watching on Trademe finished last night and this morning (it's 3:48am here right now) there was a very nice offer waiting for me   
From $49 down to $34 and she's a biggin too.

Quote from: Wardukw on November 20, 2024, 04:24:30 PMIt's just happened again ..next week I'll be picking up this lot 
Academy 1.35 M1151 Armament carrier
Italeri 1/48 F-4e Phantom
Italeri 1/48 Sabb Viggen..yep another one ..for 30 notes ..c'mon 😁😁
And this .
Meng 1/35 AH-64D Apahe Longbow...and since I'm collecting this lot of a chap ..guess what? ..yep he's got a swag of other kits he's wanting to sell ..this will not be good 😕 
My wallet is scared gents .

Well my wallet suffered ...not only the above items made it home but so did this lot 

1 x 1/48th Revell F-14A Tomcat
1 x 1/48th Revell Monogram F-18C Hornet
1 x 1/48th ESCI F-5E Aggressor
1 x 1/48th Academy USAAF B-25B Mitchell
1 x 1/35th Tamiya M1A2 Abrams  Operation Iraqi Freedom
1 x 1/35th Tamiya Challenger 1 Mk3
Thankfully that's the lot 

A Hasegawa 1:72 AV-8B Plus, to potentially become an RAAF aircraft some day.

Not quite an addition - I've had it since May '96, having bought it at the Birmingham show - more of a rediscovery.

Dujin Messerschmitt Me 208/Nord Penguin

Having confirmed that I hadn't sold it it on, I knew I had it somewhere in the loft but have overlooked the box it was in, thinking it an Me 262.  Anyway, having had cause to do some long overdue tidying in the loft, it turned up. And I was very happy to find it.
Looking at the drawings in with it, wouldn't be too much work to convert from a Bf 108 either.  Just needs a new wing.

Thanks goes out to Bungle for the 1/72 Italeri Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird. I'm inspired by the book of Scott Lowther 'Origins and evolution, Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird'.
