My Stash just grew again (2009)

[Howard of Effingham]

a couple of days ago i got.....

airfix 1/72 FAA Corsair. this one will be real as it includes decals for one of Robert Hampton Gray's a/c. he won the VC.
airfix 1/72 MiG-15. lovely kit, hopefully this consigns their old MiG-15 moulds into the fiery furnace. any comments, anyone?

but my plaudits go to their new Sea Harrier FRS1. a TRULY BRILLIANT kit, not the least of which is
because the twin sidewinder launchers are included. which i think haven't been in a 1/72 kit before.

i also have two FA2 on order.

From Amazon "TSR2 -Lost Tomorrows of an Eagle" - a snip at £10.49. Based on the MAM series but expanded. I'm off to do some reading.

The Gundams will be whiffed into medieval knights. In some way. Axes, broadswords, warhammers, shields and stuff like that. And medieval heraldic.   They have some articulated joints. Will have to see whether they can be posed to form a duel.
I already have the F-2 combo kit, but it was needed to kick-off the free-shipping-deal. And they were at around 50% off (I think).
I think I'm developing a rather serious F-2 addiction. 1 in 1/48, 10 in 1/72 (including that Idolmaster thingie ) and two in 1/144.

1/72nd ICM Type XXVII Midget Submarine.....not sure...might be whiffed into a spaceship...or not.
1/43rd Peugot Ralleye Car (Heller) as parts for my space truck, along with the Italeri 1/24th Opel Blitz Firetruck (already acquired)
1/72nd Pagasus Hobbies Apollo 27 Space Rocket....my third one...I love 'em.

1/144 Revell An-124....thinking RAF 

Would work....so would Indian AF, replacing the An-12s flying to and from Russia over the Himalayas

Well, its better than a crack addiction, although not much cheaper

Got myself an old Vacform Martin Baker 5,

An Airfix 1/72nd BP Defiant for Biggles.
It's from "Biggles Defends The Desert" and has a key role towards the end. I know it's not the best kit, but I made it before (when it first appeared in the early/mid 1960s) and it'll be fun.
I've got two of them now, and one will be all black, but with desert colours on top surfaces with high fuselage demarcation. The other will be full desert colours, azure blue undersurfaces, etc.. Same aircraft, but just a different interpretation of how it looked. Whooooohooooooo

Oh look, stop it will you?  You're making me want to keep my Airfix Defiant that was bought for whiffing - and actually whif it!

[Sauragnmon]

He's tempting me to look into a defiant for whiffing, and whif it.  Not hard, since I've had the idea floating in my head for a while now.

Just think how good it will look alongside your Indian Nimrod AEW.3

Got a Revell 1/72 WWII Luftwaffe personnel and pilots set today. Apparently it's a rebox of some PREISER FIGURES with six new multi-part pilots added (which means six figures of the Presier set are not on the Revell sprue). They're moulded in "proper" styrene. The multi-part pilots for the cockpits are rather small and given the size of 1/72 cockpits, that's a good thing.

I think I'm developing a rather serious F-2 addiction

To top things off, either will drive you round the bend sooner or later.

Decided to encourage my LHS to get some new stuff in by clearing a bit of shelf space for them, so I took their last four JB vehicle kits off their hands: 3 x FC Landrovers and an FC Landrover Ambulance. No specific plans for the straight Landies yet, but the ambulance is alomst certainly going to become a Cheshire riot-control vehicle for Patchwork World.
