My Stash just grew again (2008)

I seem to have acquired a Mastercraft Mig-19S and an Xtrakit Canberra.

Hi Van,
Now, what is your instinct telling you about that Canberra? I was thinking of getting it myself. Does it seem to become a clean built?

Thanks!

Trumpeter Sea Hawk in 1:48 and the "new" Hobby Craft Desert Sea Fury in 1:32.
The Sea Hawk looks quite promising on the sprue but the Hobby Craft Sea Fury really disappoints me, especially considering I had hoped it to be a Trumpeter-produced mold.  It's extremely basic for the scale/cost and I can't even follow the directions!

This went into the shipping last week...such a big box, they said it would take more than seven days to arrive.
  Whooohoo! My Tank is Fight!

the Canberra will be real world, if thats what you are asking

Just one addition to the stash this go around: the Revell 1/144 F-14D Tomcat.  It's a beautiful little kit, with a complete set of stores, plus decals for VF-101 and VF-213, the last unit to fly them in combat.

Where as mine will be Swedish.

Didn't Sweden have Canberras?

Yeap as target tugs and test beds, however i assume that Geoff P is intended a Sweedish PR9 for sneek & peek activity

[Mossie]

They only had two I think, in NMF & as Geoff mentions they were used almost exclusively for test work.  Now, a B variant in splinter cam, that would be nice.....

Ups  , sorry mate, should have chosen my words more carfully 
No, I was just reffering to the quality of the kit. But hey, we are now waiting for those two (real world and Swedish) Canberras

Three 1/72nd Fujimi MiG-21MF/bis kits...

MiG-21MF, with Iraqi markings (plus a lot of others too )
MiG-21MF with recon pod (Egyptian plus a lot of others )
MiG-21bis with Finnish colours.

I fancy doing a Soviet one in a white and twin-blue "aggressor-type" scheme, from the Northern Defence Area.
Also, how about a Winter-camouflaged Finnish one?
And a Polish one to complete the trio??
Must get some more though....they're beautiful

[Mike Wren]

how about a pseudo-Lightning aggressor?

A mate of mine reckons that the Xtrakit cranberry is a bit of a pig to build.

Bill Clark has an IP thread on BM - the sink marks in the u/c bays....

If going Agressor, I would do pseudo-NATO schemes - maybe one in USAF SEA camo, another in RAF grey/green, maybe the 3rd  Luftwaffwe splinter?  Danish/CDN dark green?  ADC Grey?  Of course the colours aren't "exact"

[Radish]

The Lightning Aggressor sounds a cool idea, Mike!!
I'm wondering if the -21 is the best the Soviets had for the Lightning's characteristics, though.
Might something else be better suited? Suggestions??
But a 21 would look nice in 111 Sqn markings

Two 1/72nd Hobby Boss MiG-3
Two 1/72nd Booby Hoss T-6.....as much for the Chinese AF decals, but a nice kit with a huge colour scheme potential, real and daft too. In fact, a daft one can remain incredibly credible
Two 1/72nd Revell Hunter FGA.9s, one of which will be a real Hunter FGA.70A of the Lebanese AF, and the other "might" be real too.....on the other hand......
