My Stash just grew again (2009)

[I'm waiting for the 1/32 Revell HeIII  

Wishful thinking or do you know something ?

Theres a strong rumour going round that Revell are doing the He111 for the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Britain and they are doing a significant British plane in 1/32 possibly a Hurricane too.

plus a 1956 service manual for the Hiller UH-12A,B,C helicopter  

So do you actually own an old Hiller UH-12, or do you just want to figure out what you did wrong on one in '56?  

I like read manuals, sad I know but you get a very good understanding of how they worked and its very handy for detailing models  

I'm getting quite a collection now, Scout, Wasp, Skeeter, Sioux, Boeing 234, Bell 212, AH-64, Hiller UH-12, Bell UH-1D, Alouette II, Daulphin, Skybolt 

[Martin H]

yeah, his "down time" reading in Prague was the scout manual.  Dedication or what?

Fair comment: I've occasionally bought a manual for a motorbike I'm only considering buying in order to get a better idea about it. Given some a swerve as a result too.

A Skybolt manual!  I'd have thought something like that would be classified 'til Doomsday.......

Its a US manual not British

I just got two of reissues of the AMT UFO Mystery ship -the Leif Ericson Galactic Cruiser in glow plastic, minus the clear engine parts.

As an added bonus (to me) I'm in the acknowledgments!

[Howard of Effingham]

Yeap Trev its one of the filings in the kit as the belly rails would have made allowed for a greater amount of aircraft to be modelled.
In fact the only kit that has them is the Special Hobby version as they are some of the extra bits left out of the extrakit version, however the actual kit is a bit of dog.

The Airfix FA2 is a nice kit, but do plenty of test fitting, the cockpit appears to need a bit fettling to fit correctly in the fwd fuselage as its a little too wide.

A friend of mine has been up his loft and found two old frog kits.....A p61 and a martin Baltimore and given them to me as " you do these things "     

[Radish]

Lucky buggar...a Baltimore

[thedarkmaster]

If you want it mate you can have it, I wont make it. PM me your address etc and i'll post it after Christmas, ps has no box

[Jschmus]

This is not technically a stash addition, though I consider my photography to be an integral part of my participation in this forum.  A little while ago I received my only present for Xmas: an Olympus FE-46(U) digital camera.  It's smaller than all  my previous cameras, but much more capable.

12 megapixels
5x optical zoom
lots of nifty features

At the current photo setting, the 4GB memory card will hold 4200+ photos!  No more running out to shoot a hundred or so then running back home to upload them.  I'll post some pictures later today or tomorrow to show off.

possibly the last model to be added to my stash this year, a local supermarket had a special offer on revell kits this week, and i managed to obtain a Revell 1/72 Seaking Mk.41 

[chrisonord]

Today I got dragged kicking and screaming to my LHS by the missus, to get me a xmas present  
I know what you are all thinking, how cruel can a woman be??
So I was forced to have a revell NH-90, good job I really wanted one of these, but I did not let on to her that I wanted it
The things we have to put up with
Still, it looks like the Honduras AF will be getting a brand new helicopter instead of a museum piece

Two each...

Hobby Boss 1/72 Rafale C (looks simply gorgeous in the box - more of that later)
Airfix 1/72 Sea Harrier FRS.1
Airfix 1/72 Sea Harrier FA.2

EDIT (for shameless self-promotion  ): For those interested, I posted an in-box review of the Hobby Boss 1/72 Rafale C >>HERE<< on ARC. In short: Beauty of a kit! Best 1/72 Rafale yet!
