My Stash just grew again (2009)

[Spey_Phantom]

managed to do a bargain of a package-deal at a nearby rumage sale this morning 

for only 5 euro's i got:

revell 1/100 Yak-38 Forger (the real kit with ground support equipment, not the newer easykit)
revell 1/144 TU-22 Backfire
Italeri 1/72 AH-1T Sea Cobra
revell 1/324 Porsche 994S (have no idea what to do with this one  )

[Dork the kit slayer]

Ive just picked up two AM Grumman F3s'. Im thinking of markings of either a Gladiator or Fury for one of them.
Anyone know where such markings could be sourced??

[Mossie]

Big H is your freind, especially for Gladiators, couple of sheets with Fury markings too (all on the same link).  Otherwise, you could tap someone up who's got one of the Roden Gladiator kits?

I think he means that they're all cheeky, bubble permed, moustaschioed, shell suited, theiving scallies. 

Calm down!

Eh..eh... You're brave, eh..... Funny tho 

So just came back from a trip to eBay. Always a mistake, but I won three decal sheets, from MicroScale one for 1:48 RF-4's (48-144) and one for 1:48 a F-8 Crusader (48-775) and a Tally Ho sheet again in 1:48 for RCAF Typhoon/Spit/Mustang.

Also bought a pair of recce Phantoms, a 1:48 Hasegawa RF-4E and a Hasegawa 1:72 RF-4E. The big one was VERY cheap, just £20.00 and the little one was a pure impulse buy..... £7.50 ! BRILLIANT !

[ChernayaAkula]

Hasegawa 1/72 F-104G/S - will end up as Glanini's fabulous SPILLONE AFRICANUS.  

Trumpeter 1/72 M2A2 Bradley ODs - had to have that one - fully(well, more less)-detailed interior!   Suggestions for a whif? The combination of US Army and sand seems kinda boring. Something a little more wild? To make things more interesting: Would need infantry for a dio. Have to display all those hatches open. Australian? Is there 1/72  Australian infantry with Steyr AUGs?

Revell 1/72 La-5FN - need the engine for Greg's great P-40/LA-5 MASH-UP. Warhawk hotrodski - will be a Soviet WWII field conversion. Something along the lines of ASh-82FNs engines available in abundance and the P-40 could use those 600+ extra horsepower. Or some crew chief taking the engine from a scorched  La-5 and hooking it to a P-40 with a busted engine. Now I just need an Academy P-40...

<...> Hasegawa 1:72 RF-4E <...> was a pure impulse buy..... £7.50 ! BRILLIANT !

Damn! Nice catch! Which boxing is it? In case it is the 501Sq ACM Special # 00862, I couldn't talk you out of the TWO BLUE LITTLE DRAGONS* for the nose art (of five options), could I?

*That's the 1/48 kit, but the decals are the same in both scales.

2 x Finewaterline 1/700 Cathedral class Type 61 frigates
1 x Finewaterline 1/700 Cat class Type 41 frigate

These are limited edition resin hulls and superstructures, details must come from spares box and aftermarket stuff

Interesting! Where might one get more information about these models?

[Sauragnmon]

Ah, the joys of craftsman kits - they are better for material cost, though the irony is that so few producers actually seem to reflect that back in the finished cost.
