Hobby Lobby has 30% off models this week so stopped by after watching District 9 and picked up the Academy Preditor kit in 72nd for my USCG Lifeguard version.

Airfix 1/72 Canberra's PR9 and B (I) 8 arrived yesterday

Also the Azur/Frrom 1/72 SM-79 JIS/JRS. SM -79 with Jumo 211's. Looks really nice. Loats of internal detail and the plastic is that lovely mat grey stuff that looks as though it's been pre primed  :wub: Will be real world
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Taking Nev's advice, I got two 1/72 Hasegawa Kawasaki T-4s in the "plain" boxing. Now I've got enough squadron badges for dozens of JASDF whifs. Muahahahaha!  :wacko:

Now I just have to find out which badge goes on which type/role.

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

Revel, re-boxed Beaufighter. Bring on the SCW group build.

If you're talking about the 'vintage' 1:32 kit then you're going to be new modelling hero, Jim

Don't be silly Ian, what a ridiculous big scale! You have to put SOOOOOO much detail in one of them.

Popped into the LHS today, they'd had their delivery of Airfix 1/72 Cranberries on Monday and had already sold out of the B(I).8 and I got the last PR.9!  Looks like a nice kit, although the panel lines are quite heavy.  I will be taking it with me on holiday next week as a way to pass time in the evenings.

Any questions, you know where to come :)  In the meantime http://www.scramble.nl/jp.htm is a great start.

One Hasegawa 1/72 AV-8B+ Harrier in an Italian Navy boxing. I got this kit, because I found it cheap and it is OOP for a while. I fully intend to build that Italian Harrier as a real world build one day, but maybe I'll whif the kit first. Maybe one of those RAAF Harriers...

I also got an Academy P-40M/N to be used with Revell's L-a5FN to make that cool mash-up Greg posted. :wacko:

Froom eBay:

1/72 Captain Scarlet Angel Interceptor from some manufacturer I'd never heard of.  Basic kit, but nice, with the added bonus of an extra 1/100 Angel kit in the bottom of the box!   ;D

Hase 1/72 FB-111A
ProModeller 1/72 Spit MkVb
So I got that going for me...which is nice....

Packet arrived from Big H today - only ordered on Sunday.  This is warp speed 9 for Hannants!

Inside were a couple of masks for 1/72 Mig-21F-13 (which has been stalled awaiting them) and Mi-26

And the ginagerous decal sheet (or sheets) for the Mi26 Halo.  I only want the Indian markings, so anyone who wants anything else off it, PM me and we'll see if we can come to an arrangement

Bumper crop today, for various reasons:

From the local hobby shop:

Airfix 1/72nd Canberra B(I).8 : Not sure I want to use this for the only whiff I have in mind, but I was weak: Baaaaa!

Airfix 1/72nd Canberra PR.9 : Baaaaaa, Baaaaa!


From a friend who deals in old toys, rather than kits:

Smer 1/24th Alfa Romeo 1950 Alfetta
Revell 1/144 Super Constellation
Monogram 1/48th P-38: for sale or trade
Monogram 1/48th P-47D: for sale or trade
Fujimi 1/48th P-51D: for sale or trade


From ebay:

Esci 1/72nd Merkava Mk.1


From Hannants (in reasonable time too  :thumbsup:):

1/72nd Vultee Vengeance. Strange Russian re-box of (probably) the old Frog kit. Cheap and basically okay, but the canopy is hideous. However, see below.

Special Hobby 1/72nd Vultee V-11 in Soviet service. For SCW build. This version is in the sale, but the armed Turkish version isn't. However, I'm please to report that this version DOES include all the armament options, even though they arn't shown on the box art.  :thumbsup:

ZTS Plastyk 1/72nd PZL-37 Lós. For SCW build. Cheap and basic: looks okay in the box though.

Falcon 1/72 vacuform canopy set no.30: US aircraft in foreign service. Bought it for the Martin B-10 canopy, but the Vultee Vengeance one will now have a home too.

a pair of Airfix cranberrys have been rehomed from the Midland air Museum tonight. One of each version.
I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Size (of the stash) matters.
