Today I got an anime style Cheesecake Nose Art decal sheet from Starship Modeler in the States and two Revell/Hasegawa 1/48th Dassault Falcon 10's. One might be turned into a delta winged COD plane not sure about the other.

And today I got the Trumpeter M1117:

and the Trumpeter 1/144 Me262A-2:

Which is a very nice kit in 1/144. It has a rudimentary cockpit, an optional open nose cover that shows off the nose guns and a kettenkrad

I think the managers have a lot of discretion to choose what they order. Also, at least in the Stockport branch, it can be very hard to find stuff: the kits were stacked under a table, jam packed in with half a hundred other similar-sized things in colourful boxes, and it's one of several tables. I walked past them three times before I spotted them.

another academy F-18A in 1/72, its such a nice kit

also the new airfix spitfire IX, which as i have the PR19 as well might see if i can
modify the mark IX to get a PR XI with a little cross kitting.

A small blowout with the contents of a jar I'd been saving for a rainy day. Well, it's now pouring and out it came. Day of the Spitfire - a pair of the new AZ mk Is (pricey!) and four of the new Airfix IX. Then to top it off, a CMK mk I on ebay for little more than a tenner (saving £15 on the Hannants price) Top banana!

In addition, there was a set of Airkit Spitfire HFVII wings from ebay and a parcel of part started projects from one of the guys on Britmodeller.
