My Stash just grew again (2008)

[philp]

Hey, I bought a model.

Had a $5 coupon left over from my birthday for Douglas Models so stopped in today and on the used pack, found the Airfix Lightning F3.  Ok, probably not the greatest kit but now I have the start for my LSR Group build.
Still need some sponsor decals though.

Oh yeah, final cost after tax, 53 cents.

Continuing with my latest "Skyhawk" fad. Picked up a hard to get "C" and an E bay E/F...............hopefully my next post will be an "M"

i bought an unknown secondhand battleship at a rumage sale today (costed me onla €1  )
by the looks of it i think its 1/400 and the orado seaplanes on it shows its german, my guess its the Tirpitz or Bismark. anyway im planning to modernise it into a modern cruiser

I've been behaving myself for a good long time, only buying YF-23's off of eBay and the occasional book where this hobby's concerned.

Now what did I get at Milton Keynes.......?

Hasegawa F11F-1 Tiger, 1/72
Toga ASU-57 Soviet Airborne Tank, 1/35
Dragon Soviet Motor Rifle Infantry figures, 1/35

Firebreak and Iron Gate by Richard Herman, been looking for these for ages

The Lovely Wife got me a $100 gift certificate from the LHS for Valentine's Day, so today I paid them a visit.  I browsed for a long time eyeing a RoG 1/48 Toom FGR.2, a Tamiya Meteor, and a BIG Trump. F-105.  Strangely I ended up leaving with something different for me-a 1/48 Tamiya F-16CJ from the new arrivals shelf.  I rarely buy a top-of-the-line, expensive kit, and I'm not the worlds biggest F-16 fan, but for some reason this one caught my eye.  Looking through the bos I really must say the engineering and detail look amazing.

I was going to add the FGR.2 and a Academy Hunter to the haul, but decided to hold on to the rest of the $$ when I found out the owner is expecting 3 four-engined-jet-powered-sub-hunting-thingies from England next week. 

I did visit Hobby Lobby too, where I picked up a 1/48 Academy F-16A/C from the clearance shelf for $8.  Obviously it doesnt compare to the Tamiya kit, but it's nice for $8 and includes a pair of GEPOD 30mm gun pods that will be handy for whiffing!
