From chrisonord:

1/72 Revell Blackburn Skua

No idea as yet what I'm going to do with it.

A friend and me have been up to Franks shop (Kit Box) in Whitley Bay this afternoon, saw a Aston Martin Vantage on the way up with the reg B7 AKE, anyway I bought the following,

There's an interesting co-incidence....

En route to Chepstow today (to watch the 1st Rifles homecoming parade...) I followed an Aston DB9 with a sticker in the back window saying 'This vehicle is limited to 185 mph'!  :lol: :lol:

While in Chepstow I bought the re-released Revell Rotodyne so at last I can finish my original one with the missing wing panel. Of course then I'll be left with all the bits, but maybe a bit of 'Tophe thought' will find a use for them....  -_-

Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

Latest additions to the stash:

1/48 scale Tamiya Do 335A-12

1/72 scale Hasegawa Ta 154A-0

I bought these from a trip to the Hobby shop and paid a lot for these two kits but at least they are good quality, both these kits are O.O.P. and decided to get them now because I know I would regret it later if I did not.

My stash actually SHRANK yesterday, mainly due to 'Howard of Effinghams' efforts at trying to reduce my decal collection to zero all on his own! Thanks Trevor.  :lol: ;D

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.
