Another just arrived from ebay via our Postie.
Heller 1/72nd JA37 JaktViggen. Think I have three AJ versions around the stash so I might try grafting on a two seat Hornet cockpit (or an Eagle?) on one of them.

The Red Van Man brought me some too which was a bit of a surprise.

Tamiya Display Case & Rising Decals 1/72 Swiss Emils; Bf 109 in Swiss service.  Why was I surprised?  I ordered them from Hannants before Christmas!!!

The Hawks were £4.95 each I think.

Via the postie.....

HobbyBoss 1/350th Italian Cruiser "Pola"...looks a fairly simple build and at only £11 a bargain....great as an Italian Spaceship ;D
Revell 1/570th "Prince of Wales"....another spaceship!! Different colours (and details!) to the current build on the back burner.
4 x Airfix 1/72nd Grumman Widgeon/Goslings...so I've NINE now. Enough, I think! ;D

Bumper day today!

From ebay:

1. pack of 1/32nd weapons, almost certainly from a Hunter. Got these mainly for the Matra pods, which will be scaleorama'd into a Gerry Anderson build if that GB ever comes off, but the rest of them (4 x tanks, two Mavericks and a pair of Swiss Sabrinas) present all sorts of scaleorama possibilities too.... :wub:

2. Airfix 1/76th LTV-4 Buffalo. To probably be a 1/144th or 15mm sci-fi exploration crawler along the lines of some paintings by Fred Gambino in the old TTA Spacewreck book. Bonus: it comes with a pedestal mount 20mm cannon.... :wacko:

Then:

Went to the LHS for some Evergreen and paint, and noticed a 2nd hand Matchbox Comet tank on the shelf. On closer inspection though, I could see a Stuart turret though the window on the back! Took it to the counter and pointed it out to them (they're good guys so I wouldn't try to con them), and it turned out to contain a complete Comet AND a complete Stuart, with only their diorama bases snapped off and missing to get them in the one box. Asked how much for the pair and and was told that for being straight, I could have them both for the £5.99 ticket price - RESULT!

:thumbsup: :cheers: :drink: :party:

Thank heavens for sharp eyesight, decent shop owners and windows in Matchbox boxes eh?

Happy Eoster.

Ooh, nice - how do the Whirlwinds look? I'm tempted, but they're so expensive. :( And the Airfix one is pretty good already, and costs less even with the Airwaves PE to tart it up...
Some of my models can be found on my Flickr album >>>HERE<<<

They look very nice Pyro. The 2 plastic sprues are well detailed and clean, and there is some etched and a fair bit of resin. The undercarriage looks a little fiddly, but then the Whirlwind's was. Most of the brass is for the cockpit so it's up to you how much you use. There are 4 very similar schemes but then there were only 2 squadrons. The fin bullet red/white checks and red/blue/white markings on 2 of them are included as transfers. It looks better then the Pavla one which is very fiddly.

As you say they are expensive, but it's one of my favourite aircraft so I indulged  ;D Why do the Czechs bring out all of my favourites in one month ?  :banghead:

As you say the Airfix kit is still nice and builds well. I'll be keeping most of mine for WIF fodder (SEAC anybody ?)  ;D

It's just nice to be around with all this stuff coming out  ;D

They look like perfect Ron Whiffing fodder. Actually, they look like what I would imagine you would have made if you had been a Japanese SF model maker in the 60s....
