Another Saab J-21A off ebay arrived today.

Got three now I think, one may be a doner for a Marton kitbash.

They're out already?

Cool! What's your impression of these kits? Is the decal sheet included once or twice?

Another Airfix Meteor on ebay falls to the Wooksta!

yesterday....

italeri RQ-4B global hawk [martin h aka 'OGL' tells me its the platz kit repopped]
italeri merlin [well the italian navy TTI version which comes with an underfuslage cargo frame in the kit. nice touch]

maybe some more additions today.

The Wooksta! · July 17, 2010, 08:55:41 AM

A Magna Gloster F9/37, the Peregrine engined one (I have a few of the Taurus ones in the stash).This will end up as a kitbashed Gloster Reaper.

It looks easy enough. Throw away the fuselage & engines, replace with Meteor T7 (or Matchbox NF) and add Merlins from a Revell Lancaster. Won't look quite like the drawings but close enough.

I had thought of a Bf 110 fuselage but it's too skinny. Besides which, I'd like to do a Bf 162 Jaguar from one of those IF I can get a very cheap Matchbox one (separate wings as opposed to a single lower piece wing).

looks very nice. only one sheet of decals thou, with 7 options.

ChernayaAkula · July 17, 2010, 11:14:30 AM

^ Thanks for the heads-up!

Two decal sheets would've been very nice. With all those a bit more exotic air arms on there, which have a lot of whiffing potential.

Last minute chance find during an ebay seach - Airfix Meteor F.III in an early 70s boxing for £2.99. Duly snaffled!

The MPM Meteor F.III is out - an ebay trader (the same guy whose knocking out the Valom Brigands and Buckinghams for £25 - and even with the postage factored in, it's a considerable saving over the Hannants price) has them for £18.50.

From my LMS, a bit of an impulse buy,a trumpeter jl-8 k8 karakorum. I have looked at this a couple of times and didn't really think much of it, but then thought it could be an operational trainer for the Cartel air force. Also from Kit crazy got a Hobbycrap CT-142, I was going to buy the civy version and militarise it, but saw this for a fair few quid less and got it instead, result!!

in Fairford, i didnt buy much except for a T-shirt and a pack of english tea for my dad,
but i did buy a nice Airfix 1/72 S.A Bulldog T.1 for a few quid.
i was gonna gonne buy an Airfix 1/72 Nimrod for £16, but due to stash overstock and lack of space, i had to cancel the buy
