Well ive just returned from the Newark show. My first visit to this one. And the first time ive attended a show in the UK as just a punter in quite a long while.

I came back with quite a haul. althou only two items were brought at the show, the rest was either from Thorvics stash, or an Ebay win I was picking up off one stand.


all 72nd scale.

From the show
Italeri C-47 Skytrain.
Airfix DC-3 Dakota.

From a trade with Thorvic.
Airfix Tornado GR-4.
Revell SAAB JAS39 Grippen (the mock up model)
Revell Mcdd F-4F Phantom.
Anigrand C-17A Globemaster III.

From an Ebay trade.
3 Bilek McDD F-4E/F Phantom's (the Italeri kit)
I always hope for the best.

From the Newark show

(Via Thorvic) Hasegawa 1/72 T-4 "Air Proving Wing".  This has decals for the four T-4 prototypes, all with different colour schemes.  Got 2 of this boxing now.

Hobby Boss 1/700 JMSDF Harushio submarine.  This sentance has more parts than the kit! :D

And lastly, after much deliberation, and blaming of Thorvic (though he will deny all knowledge), the Hasegawa 1/350 icebreaker "Soya".  Absolute beauty of a kit, and also includes a 1/35 white metal scientist and 2 dogs (who survived on their own for a year after the first Japanese expedition to Antarctica failed).  Apparently they're quite famous in Japan and were the subject of a hit movie.  

It was the box art that did it for me.  I'm such a sucker for a top notch painting on the box top.....that and the fact that at shows I like to pick up the kind of models that I'll never see in my LHS - this is one of them.

Nev, if you build the Soya for the Let It Snow GB, you have to do a dio as well!  :bow: Something like the great box-art!

Was at the LHS yesterday and got a 1/144 Rafale M (my fifth! :rolleyes:) and a 1/48 Revell F-84F Thunderstreak (the recent RoG boxing) - both for 10.25 EUR! I tried my best, but resistance was ultimately futile!
Cheers,

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?

Except it would be real and not a whiff........however, someone on Armorama/Model Shipwrights did one (he had a different boxing with photo-etched penguins  :thumbsup: )

Well, have it exploring a UFO crash site and you're golden! ;)  :thumbsup:

I remember seeing FRANK SPAHR'S BUILD in a  German modelling magazine. He later used one of the lil' Bell 47s to make a dio with two explorers examining a sphere (fashioned from a washing powder dispenser ball :bow:) from outer space crash-landed in the Arctic.
