Now there is a GREAT idea.   

Was donated an Airfix Fiat G91 and an Airmodel 2seat conversion fuselage by Uncle Frank.

And this came in today from Germany via ebay...


And i believe this one was the last stash entry for the closing year... unless i spot a good deal with fast shipping, that is...

On a mini kit run recently.  I blame Narses, I mentioned I passed this one over last year when Lidl had them cheap and he said it was a nice kit, so obviously twisting my arm right up my back when they had them again.  I guess he has to get his own back for all those appearances in "The Book"...

Land Rover Series III 109" LWB by Fred Maillardet, on Flickr

Bike is 1/12.  It has both the big ol' fairing shown in the box art and the earlier windscreen.  Everytime I look at it I get the CHiPs theme in my head. I loved that show.
Land Rover (Series III?) has a "Spinal Tap in reverse" typo.  Or is it the Loooooooooooooooooooooong wheelbase version.
I've been looking at pics and love the well used but not too shabby condition of this one.

To be used for parts, mostly the engine's. But maybe one will be built as a 262, to be decided...

Thanks mate.

3-D printed:
Fox Armoured Car in 1/35
Luger parts for finally completing a very old conversion of an airsoft hulk
a kazoo (yes, you read that right) for making a craft I saw in an old Gerry Anderson comic

Still a few bits to come, but they may be listed in the 2023 edition...

Scored another set of M1A1 early model tracks ..those have a purpose and I'm glad to have em ...these will make a difference to the model there for.

Wondered into a Hobbycraft y'day and found the usual load of Revell and Italeri stuff, plus scads of 1/48 Tamiya, which I ignored of course. But there was one 1/72 Mastercraft Javelin FAW7 lurking there, and now it isn't. 

Not that there's ANYthing 'masterly' about a Mastercraft Javelin, but it IS a Javelin, however crude, and therefore worthy of storage for future use. 

Ok, i said that if a good deal came up, i'd take it so, i took it and this baby arrived today...
