Hmm, I've got a Conroy Turbo kit already, had it for ages, but I can't recall who did it. It's an Italeri Dak plus some resin and vacform bits in a black and yellow box. As with many others, I really OUGHT to build it!  :banghead:

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

I've been waiting for the Mixmaster since I was in short pants.  :rolleyes:

Could do with another one, or two, to go with my Anigrand one.
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

The Wooksta!

The XP72 looks tempting, but I have a stalled Czech resin one that's been gathering dust for nigh on 18 years.  Do I really need another?

Another Bf 109 T...  How many have we seen over the last 30 years?  That's the sixth, possibly seventh, yet.  Actually, it's the ninth.  For a niche subtype.

The 209 racer looks interesting.  The Huma one is long gone, but it did give the bits for both in the box.  Didn't Special Hobby do one?

Yes - I've got one.

The bottom right page are all 1/48, including the Messerschmitt Me 109T, 109W's and 209V's.

The first two panes (An-22 and C-147A) on the first page are 1/144.  All the rest of the first three pages are 1/72.
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

I've got a part-built Eagles Talon vacform/resin one, another project that needs finishing. AND I have an un-built XB-43 Jetmaster kit too.

I struggled building A&A's La200b.  I think i should probly see how I go building some of the other examples of their output I have in my stash before buying anymore.  Although I do like the look of the Turbodak...

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

There's a whif build on YouTube in Madagascan markings with gunship mods and a nose job. He doesn't critique the kit much except to say the seams needed a fair bit of putty.

The XP-72 is very welcome indeed... :thumbsup:  :thumbsup:

Somewhere, I saw them advertise new versions of F-15 Reporter and P-61E. Different decals? I see them in the catalog pictures.

NARSES2

The XP-61E and the F-15A Reporter are in stock at the Big H, and I am tempted by the XP-61E. But at £43.50 I'm not sure  :unsure:

You and me both :-\  It will have to go into my Category C list  ;)  ;D  ;

I love the looks of both of them, but at THAT price? I don't think so. :(

Luckily I have an Anigrand resin F-15, and a vacform one as well. I should be able to make one good one out of the pair of them at least.

I had that reaction too but the F15 Reporter is severely tempting. As is the F7F range in 1/72 recently announced. Not sure who is making it.
