My Stash just grew again (2009)

RoG 1/72 EC145 'research pilsen' livery

[and if anyone can enlighten me on what the mathematical equations are on the decal sheet
i'd be very glad........ ]

Well if it's a Pilsen Brewery aircraft they probably don't mean anything after the 6th pint, or it could just be the answer is 42

I think you'll find it's PILAS, which stands for Pilot Assistance System

Hobbycraft continue to surprise with their increasing range of 'serious' plastic modelling stuff. They even have large stocks of Evergreen styrene, not that I'd buy their plain sheets, but the sections are excellent and almost unobtainable over the counter elsewhere.

Hobbycraft branches seem to have a lot of discretion in what they stock. Of the four LHS within easy reach of me, Hobbycraft are the only one that doesn't stock Evergreen....

Was walking in South Lincolnshire today, so made a diversion to Newark Air Museum on the way home.

Picked up the Revell 1/48 F-18F Super Hornet.  Will be either Japanese or Indian (although by the end of the year both of those could be real!)

Just picked up a 1/24 Tamiya Fiat 500F off EB, should go well with the Mini I already have.

Tues. I stopped by the local shop back home & walked away with a few tins of paint plus a J-wings 144th pre-finished F-8J, ran into a Hobby Lobby today on my way back from a fieldtrip to Monroe & walked away with yet another Revell 100th F-15 and 2 Tamiya 1/100 kits on extreme markdown (a MiG-19 & a -21). Updates to be posted soon

The CA Venom showed up today packed securely beween two CA Gloster Meteor F.4's.  In another box was some more Tamiya Meteors from HLJ purchased for cheap!   And in another, an Airfix PR.9 Canberra.    And my wife wasn't mad, at least visibly.   
Slobber!!!!!!   Hot d***, it's Christmas. 



Daryl J., tickled pink about that

From ebay: Bandai 1st Plane Super Robot and 2nd Plane Super Robot......

WTF?

These. Retro cool or what? 





Second one comes with a very cheesy giant robot too, but best of all, both of them have roll-along wheels and FIRING MISSILES...

Whaddya reckon? RAF or Luft'46? 

[Mossie]

Chuffin Nora!!!!

[NARSES2]

Now if it had roll-along wheels and a friction motor to store the energy, then they'd be real old school 

[Mossie]

PM Model 1/72 Beech C-45 from Just Kits in Hull.  Not bad for four quid & quite a nice looking model.

[Weaver]

Revell 1/72nd MiG-31 from Hobbycraft. Wasn't going to get one 'cos I have no particular plan for it, but couldn't resist.

[Weaver]

Old Revell A-3B Skywarrior in fit-the-box-scale (about 1/83rd). Bought off ebay for a couple of quid because it's missing it's canopy and instructions. Spares fodder, I expect.....
