My Stash just grew again (2009)

I have a few ACE tanks in the stash and it has to be said that Airfix did a better job in their earliest days. ACE do cover unusual vehicles but the quality is not quite all there!

Picked up a 1/72 Revell Famo from Chestermoor to replace the one I cocked-up while building it, Doh!!

BTW the PE tracks on the ACE Scopion are something to behold

1/72 Whirlykit Hawker P.1121 , I plan to do this one for the Vacform GB over on Britmodeller. May well do it and the Viggen as Indian Airforce.

YES!

Just picked up a 1/35 Bronco Fieseler Fi 103 (V-1) to go with my 1/35 Tamiya Opel Blitz, sorry, German 3-Ton Cargo Truck

At Meir Model Show, a quiet pleasant affair where I worked on civilianising a He-111 into a transport aircraft (Biggles Flies North), I picked up an Airfix(Heller) 1/72ns Super Constellation. The Quantas decals are perfect for a Biggles aircraft (Biggles in Australia) but mine'll be a development of the XB-30 of course

today I picked up my new modelling desk... just need to move house now and I'll be set... roll top hopefully means no need to pack everything up out of the way of the 2 cats...

Radish · May 10, 2009, 11:49:09 AM

That sounds suspiciously like a plan!!

They do shed loads of towed artillery too.....

I've got a T-62M whose tracks are made in individual moulded sections and links. Any clever tricks to assembling them? They look a bit daunting....

I'd like a Panhard ERC-90 Sagaie, but not for £10....

Class desk Mike - not sure about the plan though. Cats are crafty, better get a padlock

Big H delivery this am - 1 week after placing order :

RS Models Fokker DXXIII (means I now have 2 Pegasus kits and this one)
Special Hobby Blackburn Skua

MPM Meteor 4

The Skua is a very nice looking kt on the sprues but also looks quite complex. Loads of tiny parts for the cockpit, obviously scaled down every part in the 1/48 version. Will need to dedicate some serious time to it.

Why ? When else are you supposed to go in there then Trev...

As for the superbug, its Revells new moulding, as judging by the sprue layout, its configured for an F version and possibly including or as a seperate issue the Growler with the size of the missing sprue area.
