My Stash just grew again (2008)

[Thorvic]

From HMW on Saturday

1 Modelcraft Avro Shackleton (Same old frog kit showings its age, but at least the decals are decent)
1 Revell Airbus A319 (Nope not getting into 1/144 Airliners just the spare engines will do as a starter for a 2nd pair of P139 engines)

Also collected from the post office was a pair of Xtrakit Sea Vixen FAW2. Its OK but could have been better for the price !

Arriving all the way from HLJ a Finemolds Starwars Y-Wing, cracking kit and it looks nothing like Y-fronts

Steve-  I picked the Hunter up at Windsock on Saturday.  I asked the guy working to tell you I came by.

[Aircav]

Hi Nick
I'm sorry I missed you, hope you like the Hunter
All the best

Airfix 1/72 Fairey Fulmar, from Just Kits in Hull.

Bought it for the type C roundels which I've already used on another kit, very strange to apply but mostly went on okay.  Kit's definatey not Airfix stock, has no location pins but otherwise doesn't seem short run, no flash & the parts seem to fit reasonably after the quickest of fit checks.  It seems to be a re-boxing of the SMER/Vista kit.  Not quite sure what to do with it....

yep your right on that front. its the old Vista/Smer kit

[Mossie]

Thanks for confirming that Martin, it's been a source of some confusion in my LHS.  I didn't know about that kit, but it looked similar in quality to the SMER Curtiss Seahawk I've got in the stash.  A quick look for a SMER Fulmar brought it up & sprue shots looked pretty much identical.

hmm, i'll think of something for it mossie. how about building it for an alternate 1940 invasion of GB scenario? as a airborne gas sprayer a/c or a R/C
[think queen bee.... from mid 1930's] and explosive filled missile.

[Radish]

3 x multi-pose star Wars "Snow Troopers" (around 80mm??).
I've started one by posing the moving parts how I want it and dribbling white glue into the gaps. Then it'll be sprayed white and carefully painted/weathered accordingly.

The other two will be something Germanic.
£6 each from Wilkos, Woollies etc..

I found the lack of misiles very disapointing 

[AeroplaneDriver]

I picked up my last little bit of ebay madness from the PO today.  For $22 I got:

Testors (DML) 1/200 C-141 Starlifter with a pair of Hummers
Testors (Italeri) 1/72 OA-4M
Testors (Italeri) 1/72 T-45A.  I've wanted one of these for ages, now I've picked up two in a few weeks.
Testors (Italeri) 1/72 EB-66 Destroyer
Testors 1/48 U-2C with ground cradle

All are unopened.  This will probably be the end of my acquisitions for a while (unless I see a really good deal or something I reallllly want  ) since I've gone a bit crazy and picked up something like 40 kits over the past couple of months.
