My Stash just grew again (2008)

[Radish]

From Yate, the Avon Show:

1/48th B-25 decals...I have several to build.
1/48th Pegasus Hobby Bf-109G...it'll be whiffed for my Crusader theme....
1/48th Pagasus Hobby V-2
1/72nd Airfix Bloodhound...for a RAF Phantom

[Mike Wren]

for something completely different I bought a Tamiya 1/700 Kursk sub & a pack of Trumpeter 1/700 S-3 Vikings... the sub will be real but the S-3 won't be USN 

quite fancy doing some aircraft carriers too... chance (time) would be a fine thing...

[Mossie]

I speed read that & for a moment I thought you were going to kitbash the Kursk with S-3 wings. Compleltey mis-read it, but it sounds like a good idea!

[Howard of Effingham]

hmm, and i haven't finished yet....

from a charity shop, also antics and recently elsewhere.....

airfix PBY-5A catalina [RAF Mk.IIIA] for £2.45p! [it will aid my nigerian navy catalina no end... ]
airfix shorts stirling [this is a real world one as i have a niece with the initials that are the 7 sqn option in the kit]
RoG repop of the A-1E/AD-5 skyraider [i feel a zwilling able dog in the offering....  ]
academy 1/72 KC-97G [hush-hush HP project]
airfix E-3D/F sentry [something brazillian and no its NOT what you are thinking!]

[Mossie]

I've got fond memories of that Airfix Cat Trev, went to an airshow & saw a Catalina displaying when I was kid.  I pretty much fell in love with the aircraft & had to get the kit & it was one of my best attempts at the time.  If I saw it now I probably wouldn't think so, all gluey fingerprints, no filler & messy canopy, but I had fun!

today:

bought 60 square feet of styrene, and the entire rack of Midwest formed styrene from a local store. Yipes.

[Jeffry Fontaine]

Siku 1/32nd scale die-cast metal and plastic snowmobile.  It was $3.50 plus sales tax.  I think I paid too much but finding a 1/32nd scale snowmobile around here is not easy.

"1/864" UFO from Light Force - comes with a multi-colored LED light circuit

Ohh Kaaayyyyyy - Now call me 'old Mr Skeptical' but how can we/you/they prove that it's 1:864.... where's the prototype and/or the plans - Area 57 I s'pose.... (Queue X-Files theme !)

Now I'm suffering a wee bit of a modelling-mid-life crisis.... finding m'self almost Whiffed-out, I've been buying loadsa decal sheets off eBay (especially for 1:48 P-51's - and I only have four in the stash). And now I have started migrating to 1:35 NOT AFV's (tanks) but half-tracks, trucks, towed AA/AT and figures, plus diorama bits and pieces. Just won an old Italeri Zundap motorcycle combo and a Tamiya 20mm Flak 38.... still looking for a Tamiya (towed) 37mm Flak though

Picked up a Trump Su-15 Flagon A in Hull, its got the standard NMF for IA-PVO a/c and a red upper surfaces scheme for an airdisplay.

RAF Point-Defence Flight, Akritiri 1977 (Jubilee colours), right ?

A handful of 1/72nd OARS for the Viking Catalina (mot Sunderland, as I've got a PBY in the stash). I could use the Do-18 though, I suppose.
They were tea/coffee stirrers at AVON but ideal for 1/72nd oars.

i went with my parent to a stockshop in Handzame this afternoon looking for a fireplace for the new house.
in the end, i ended up with finding gold in them hills 

-Revell 1/72 Beriev Be-6 "Madge"
-Revell 1/144 Tu-95 Bear-D

and by the looks of it, they have been on the shelf for quite a long time 

[Mossie]

Hasn't Mav done some Be-6's, among them some in RAF Coastal Command colours?  If you get your skates on, you could enter it into the profiles build!

Good finds!

[Aircav]

Picked up a couple of cheap kits today, a Tiger Moth and a Lysander, both 1/32 Revell and both to be real also picked up a new can/bottle opener for when I go to Prague

That's why I put it in quotes. I'll just do a scalearama to whatever scale I want it to be. There are no obvious size references, so it could be microscopic (10000:1 scale) or enormous (1:10,000,000 scale).
