My Stash just grew again 2010

Went up to see Chrisonord this afternoon who took me to Transport Models in Preston (never been before) where, by a supreme effort of will, I managed to buy nothing at all, well, except for some paint. Damned impressive shop - cheers Chris!

On the way back however, I stopped off at the Modelzone in the Trafford Centre and ended up succumbing to a pair of Pegasus Jaguarundis: well they were only £3.00!

BTW Chris: they have the Trumpeter M113s in the sale at £4.00.

You should return the favour and take Chris to see F&S in Droylsden as they can have some unusal stock items when he's fit again to ride & model.

Well I wouldn't have done, mainly because I've never heard of the place! Website looks impressive, so I'll go and have a look - cheers! 

Chris (or anybody else, for that matter) - that's absolutely on if you want.

Thanks for the heads up on the R-100, but plastic squash bottle are cheaper and more useful, especially the square-sectioned ones! Very useful for Flying Leviathons...battleships, and using a waterline kit makes it all easier!
Just ordered some battleships

From the Peterborough show - where I was under STRICT!!!!! orders not to spend too much money.  Or any money at all - a Hasegawa 1/700 Nachi, which is for the "cruisin' for a bruisin'" GB on Modelshipwrights later this year.  Eligable subjects are cruisers which have been sunk!   All I need now is a Tamiya Mogami and I can do my wee diorama of them about to collide....

Perhaps more pertinent is what I didn't buy.  I didn't buy the Fujimi 1/72 JMSDF Sea King, and when I went back someone else had bought it

And I didn't buy the Hasegawa 1/48 Harrier II with the Italian navy markings.  I've wanted one of these for ages as its one of my favourite Harriers - could have got it for £21 from kitkrazy

sold all bar 1 kit at peterborough, but came away with......

matchbox 1/72 mosquito [which i'd been after for several years]
fujimi 1/72 hawkeye 2000
heller 1/72 transall

several decal sheets and a very interesting book called 'category 5'.

[Jschmus]

It seems I have a knack for finding empty boxes.  Three years ago at the Nats I found an empty box for the Hawk Swift.  Yesterday while wandering around Havana (FL, not Cuba), I was looking through an antique shop, and I found three classic model boxes:

Aurora 1/48 Piasecki H-21
Aurora 1/48 "MiG-19"
Revell 1/72 F-104A (with 4 Sidewinder missiles!)

Actually, the boxes weren't completely empty.  The H-21 box includes the instructions.  The F-104 box contains the instructions, a nose gear tire and two bits of flash.  The "MiG-19" box was full of gas-operated plane parts.

I've no idea what I'll do with them.

Via the postie, an old Airfix 1:72nd BAC Strikemaster/Jet Provost T5, the box with the Omani AF Strikemaster on the front.

From ebay:

1/144 Minicraft C-97 tanker (missing clear parts, but cheap enough for a donor kit)

1/144 Win Air decals (very nicely printed)

From Sprue Bros:

AFV Club 1/35 M41A3 Walker Bulldog
1/35 Masterbox German vs. Russian hand to hand fighting. I wanted to try the Masterbox figures and they're as good as people say. Not only great poses but sharp molding.
1/72 Eduard L-39C Albatros. Nice and dirt cheap kit. It comes with an extensive decal sheet and paint masks, but the canopy paint masks are puzzling, since they only seem to cover the frame, not the clear parts.

[Radish]

From the Postie....from Modelsforsale...

3 x 1/700 Fujimi battleships, all Japanese.

Yamato....a real world build, possibly....
2 x Kongo class....both to become RN "King Arthur" Class battleships.

I have LOTS of battleships, boats, on order too, from Model Hobbies and White Ensign.

[Howard of Effingham]

from the local car boot sale.....

1/32 airfix gulf porsche 917 for just £1

[Radish]

Well bloody make one then, Duncan....

I suppose it wouldn't help by saying I only bought this as a parts donor....

Don't suppose I could rob the landing gear from it, could I?
