My Stash just grew again (2009)

[Radish]

Narses, don't forget that after the Scots, irish and Welsh discovered the amazing properties of "Suppalot", derived from heather, the bonding/humidity problems on the Mossie were solved.

On Wednesday morning I ordered 4 x 1/118th Revell PBM-5 Mariners from Models For Sale...they arrived at 10am this morning. Fantastic service.
Think a couple of Biggles and RAF ones.

As an aside. The problems the Mosquito had in the Far East was down to humidity, or that's what I've always understood anyway. Would this have been a problem if Tiger Force was based on one of the islands South of Japan say ? I'm not sure of the climate conditions. Also did the RAAF have any problems with it's Mossies, or were they not in service long enough ?

From what I remember reading the humidity ruined the glue so the Aussie's used a different type but I could be wrong.

Bought a couple of 1/72 Armourfast kits today, the StuG III and the Cromwell and not bad for the price.

From Freetime hobbies:
1/700 DML USS Laffey - it contains two ships - one full hull and one waterline
1/144 DML MH-60L One will be built as a flown in Somalia in '93, the other as a whiff.
1/144 Minicraft Su-25
1/144 Minicraft (ex-Crown) B-29A. Definitely going to be whiffed.

Gives your dog a nice cold, shiny nose as well

How about RAF Tiger Force, in the intrests of MacArthurs "standardisation" drive?

No, they're getting what they were intended to get - Mosquito B.35s.  Think I'll go with an RAF anti shipping option as I like the Dark Sea Grey and Sky scheme.

That would work

Mig 17 traded with our old mate IHG the  cockpit and wheels from the big"H"

The Skywarrior was my bargain buy at Telford.

Today arrived a 1/72nd scale Monogram A-10, all the way from the US of A, Texas to be precise.
Many thanks to John aka Batman customs, for this kit, as I only had to pay the postage on it

Found an awesome model shop in Flensburg. Got a Revell 1/72 Hawker Hunter and Su-25

[Kerrillc]

Well I am well and truly flabbergasted!

I went into my store cupboard where I keep my stash from prying eyes and did a box count. I am truly astonished at what I had stored away as I had really forgotten what was there, having a mini-stroke last year DID NOT HELP. I discovered that I have 34, Yes THIRTY FOUR, unmade kits. (Jeremy Clarkson voice over ON) "Some say that is not very many, but when they have languished there for 20+ years they actually represent a small time capsule" (Jeremy Clarkson voice over OFF).

The majority are of course Starfix, as well as Monogram, Revell, Hasegawa, Heller/Humbrol and even, Heavens to Murgatroyd! Matchbox and a FROG!!

I am going to make a list and I think I might post it and if there are any suggestions as to what I should create I would appreciate any advice.

My next question is to the moderators, is it possible to post a word document or should I post it to anyone who sends me a pm?

I have at least two He 219 Uhus, one from Revell and one the aforementioned Frog!

Okay gentlefolk over to you!

Cheers and Seasons Greetings to you all

Hya Kerill,
It sounds like you have some nice kits there, if you let me know what it is you have and the scale I am sure we can all give you plenty of ideas on what to do with them, as just a simple paint scheme and marking change can make a world of difference.
Cheers,
Chris.

[thedarkmaster]

well mate all you need to do is see which ones can fit into the Empires twighlight thread and make them all up 

Seriously though get the list out to people and you'll be amazed at the ideas that come from them, their are many wild imaginations out there.
