Just managed to crawl in before SWMBO caught me, getting dangerous now I thionk she is on the point of body cavity searching me each time I go out  :wacko:

Went to the LHS to get some Alclad II a mate told me was in, came back with that plus

Airfix 1/72 Fokker Friendship, this one is going to get a different livery or upper surface blown turbojets, depending on my mood;
ANOTHER 1/72 Italeri Ju86 (only A$10, how could I resist), makes 3 now and this one is going to become a four engined bi-plane one day;
Eduard 1/48 Weeekend edition Mirage III - sucker for a delta
HobbyBoss F84 - plans for this one as a VTOL hybrid

got no idea how this happens, perhaps it's my evil twin at work again. Having trouble making the stash appear not to grow while it does, have to start burying them in the back yard to avoid detection.
Going to be finished in 2021 BEFORE I start any da*!#d new ones - CF-IDS Wolverine; Douglas Mawson; Bubba Wants a Fishin' Rig; NA F-100

Against the Wall - Maton Dreadnought; Fender Telecaster; Epiphone Les Paul Studio

Just got in the posr from eBay.


PM model IAI Nesher, for a bargain price......even for one of those kits.

Luckily my wife is still asleep so she's not noticed it has come yet.  ;D  ;D
Everything looks better with the addition of British Roundels!

Heller 1/72nd Polikarpov I-153 in an old, old boxing. For SCW conversions.

A set of decals from an Italeri Sparviero: it's got some desirable SCW Nationalist markings on it (black circle with unit badge) and some very funky Italian squadron badges too... :wub:


Have you seen these for your SCW theme Weaver ?

2 kits per box in "Easy Build" style. I've got a couple of the "Panzer46" kits and they are nice.

As for the SM79 sheet - Ialian unit markings are gorgeous arn't they ?  :wub:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

I've got a SMER boxing of the Heller kit...beautiful (in fact I have several :rolleyes:0 ) and apart from the SCW one I have "in build", there's a USN one planned (yellow wings), RAF one too and lots of other ones possible. Check out some of the Il2 Games screenshots as well...Googling helps.

I've got a SMER regular one and a Hi-Tech Plus one, whose resin skis and blue swastikas are destined for a Finnish Fokker D.XXIII.

Hornby skaledale airfield control tower.

looks like the airfix one doesnt it?   almost, its about a 1/3rd smaller.
I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Size (of the stash) matters.

Some SR-71 bits, F-16 bits and a load of other stuff I can't put a name to. Marvellous SHADO fodder :thumbsup: :bow:
Cheers,

You'll love the Skua.  Feel the history in all it's basic glory.  Tip: replace the engine with one from a Blenheim.
