My Stash just grew again (2008)

[John Howling Mouse]

My trio of 1:48 Viggens arrives so I can begin a couple of my projects for the Profiles GB.  From the LHS, I picked up a 1:48 Trumpeter MiG-3 "Late Version" and a 1935 Auburn BoatTail Speedster....

From a modell shop in the Windward Mall on Oahu Hasegawa 1/72 Kate and Tony at probably less then half the UK price 

Both have marking options I havn't seen before in the UK

So we're packing for a move which means The Stash is going into 18"X18"X16" boxes.    Hopefully I'm as generous with others as I've been with m'self.        There's not time to sell it off enough to make a difference either.

Not anything I will receive for some time, but I wanted to post this just so everyone knows that this board isnt the only one with generous people with a true love for the hobby.

On Britmodeler.com GrahamS posted saying that he had 5 Airfix TSR.2s that were FREE to a good home, as long as the recipient paid postage and actually built it instead of throwing it on ebay.  He said the first 5 to PM him got one.  Well apparently I was number 3, so Graham will be sending me a TSR.2 for no more than postage  !  Given that these kits still go for $60+ on ebay, this is an example of a very generous modeler and someone who is more intersted in the building of models than making a quick buck. 

Hopefully when it arrives I can do him proud...I'm thinking a Lakenheath Eldorado Canyon machine....

What I thought was the bargin of the day, until I saw it was 48th scale - Hasegawa J7 Shinden - cost me a fiver so I guess it IS a bargin, but I am now looking to swap it for it's 72nd scale counterpart.
