My Stash just grew again (2009)

I don't know - we'll see how that works out when I get to what I do with the fuselages.  It's going to be a bit of a wing-jumble shuffle really, so not quite sure how things will work out yet.

There are several real-world versions Steve.  The M1142 TFFT, I think the Oskosh Striker airport tender is based on the M977 & Rosenbauer have kitted out the LVS with airport firefighting kit in the past.

Hi Simon
I like the look of the Rosenbauer version of the LVS but I'm not to keen on the TFFT so as a Whif I'm thinking a version of my own with a rear mounted engine 
Steve

Nice one!  I have a light interest in Fire Engines, my Dad was a Fireman.  I nearly got hold of one of the Revell Schlingmann fire engines at Telford, esepcially since there was one displayed on a table next to us.  Looking forward to seeing the result Steve!

From the wife, I got the Revell Star Wars advent calendar containing 9 of their prepainted "easy kits", 3 x Jedi Starfighter, 3 x Naboo Starfighter and 3 x Republic Gunship.  Most will be built with the boy, but I'm going to keep back one of each for me to do "properly" at a later date.

Just bought an esci kamov ka-34 hokum in 1/72 for £3.20 including p&p 

[Hobbes]

Got a BraZ Tu-144 in today, and am waiting for a package from Hannants with :
Miles M.52
Sea Harrier FA.2 (the new Airfix kit)
VC10 Wing Leading Edge
North American X-15A-2

of course the items I need first (wing leading edges) are out of stock

Via the man with the red van this morning a 1/48 Italeri Bell 47G-3B-1

Mail delivered a Hasegawa 1/48 F-16I Sufa today. This one will be built as a real-world aircraft. Which of course means I have a surplus CMK 1/72 Sufa set that may will now find its way on a Mitsubishi F-2B!

Properly, huh? I'm sensing Hinomarus or Red Stars.

I always thought the Peace Marble spine would look cool on a single seater, personally, but you'd have to extend it.  The only catch is the cost for the conversion set to get all the stuff.  Hard to justify for the slice and splice I'd have to do to extend it to the one-hole cockpit.

[Spey_Phantom]

got another 1/72 Revell Snowberry 
this will form the basis of my third 1/144 aircraft carrier (this time a STOBAR type)

From the Bay of Evil, Hase 1/72nd F-20 Tigershark.......

Big haul today.  
A Tamiya 1/48 WWII US Infantry set, a Tamiya M20 armoured utility car, a Tamiya 1/48 20mm Flakvierling 38 and a set of Black Dog 1/48 M8/20 snow chained wheels. This stuff is supposed to form a dio for the Let It Snow GB. Think M8 with M45 quad .50 turret, but with a German Flakvierling. Field conversion during the Battle of the Bulge.

A Hobby Boss 1/48 KV-2 tank, a Tamiya 1/48 WWII Soviet Infantry set and a Tamiya 1/48 GAZ-67 jeep. These goodies will also form the major components for a diorama. Stalingrad II or something like that. The Gaz will get some extra-armour. The KV-2 turret will get a Maxim  MG from the figure set for close-in defence. Oh, and it'll be on a couple of legs, not tracks.   Although I must say that Hobby Boss had a fantastic idea supplying a jig for the separate track links that go around the drive sprocket and idler wheel.

Sufa set that may will now find its way on a Mitsubishi F-2B!

F-2 Kai

Yup, that was the idea.   It's all entirely Gary F's fault!

Airfix 1/72 Sea Fury, 2nd one i needed for a project   

[Weaver]

From an LHS:

Trumpeter 1/72nd Shenyang F-8II Finback-B
Revell 1/72nd T-2C/E Buckeye

From ebay:

Trumpeter 1/72nd Ilyushin IL-28 Beagle

I wouldn't have said I had a thing for the Beagle, but I now seem to have an Airfix one, an Italeri one, a Trumpeter one and a Ben Hobby 1/100th one...... At least two of them are tentatively earmarked: one to get the wings and engines of an old Revell FTB Skywarrior, and the other to get a solid-nose-full-of-guns COIN conversion.
