My Stash just grew again 2010

[JJC]

went to NAM today and came out with a 1/48 academy mig-29 in ukranian demo colours - beautiful!

also saw some very interesting wind test models, one of the twin-boom ASTOVL HS P1216 and the other was what seemed to be a stealth aircraft, the staff didn't know any info on the plane and said the man who donated them wished to remain anonymous-

Interesting! An early part of the Replica project or the BAE submission for the JSF competition, perhaps?

While waiting for a local restaurant to open up I took my gf to Hobby Lobby for an "educational experience" & ended up walking away with a Revell Easykit P-51D . . . Was gonna try to re-finish it for this wkn's Baton Rouge show but it's not going to happen.

Now I need to find a B-2 . . . She's fascinated with the wing

[Radish]

Well then....all from Revell...

2 x 1/570th "Prince of Wales"
2 x 1/720th "Prinz Eugen"...not the greatest of kits, but ideal as Space Cruisers. They're also waterline OR full hull, so it'll be easier to add depth to the hulls to create ? Could be Cruisers in the Leviathon scenario of airborne ships, but might, just might, do one on the sea....shock horror....but NOT as intended!! STILL a whiff.

via the red van man a Heller Mirage IVA, going to anti flash white.........but not British or commonwealth for my Empire twighlight thread.


An Airfix Female tank........going to be Her Majesties land ironclad Vulcan, circa 1879     

[pyro-manic]

From the LHS this morning, a Revell (Matchbox?) UC-64A Norseman. The floats are going on a Swordfish, not sure about the rest of it!

How about a turbo Norseman? Tricycle landing gear, could be a para drop plane or insertion/extraction special ops bird??

Airfix WWI Female tank from the Hornby concession in my local departmental store plus Humbrol 121, seatbelts have to be painted 

[Spey_Phantom]

picked up in Brugges this morning:

1/144 Revell SU-47 Berkut
1/144 Revell Kfir C7

[Captain Canada]

Revell Sikorsky Skycrane. I'm thinking an offshore supply chopper. Maybe orange as an Irving type or baby blue as a Maersk. Then again, she may be white and blue as a new style  Cougar heli or the old-school red/blue. Or all red as a Bond....who knows.

The pod will be modified to ferry workers and eq. It will be dropped off at the rig and then the chopper can be used to move loads from ship to rig vice/versa that are otherwise to long/large/odd for the regular cranes.

From the bay of evil: Hales Eidai 1/72nd Cessna 337 Super Skymaster. Destined to one of a pair of Reddish Revolutionary Raiders in a Dogfight Triple with an Avro Atom, one of these years....

[ChernayaAkula]

To reinvigorate my acquisition-jitsu, today I bought...
a 1/144 Trumpeter F-22A Raptor - will be Japanese (it'd be rude not to).
a 1/72 Heller Mirage 5BA - no idea for this one, but you can't ever have too many Mirages. 
and a 1/72 Academy M977 8x8 HEMMT - will be a coastal defence anti-shipping unit, with a multiple (4/6/8???) launcher for Harpoons and a radar cab. Inspired by these giant Soviet coastal defence monsters - SSC-3 Styx/4K51 Rubezh.

So, now that the acquisition-jitsu has be taken care of, what to do about the building-fu?

Got one of those myself Todd.

I've always wondered why they don't use them for off-shore oil rig supply in real life, considering they're designed to pick up a Sea-Can.  Here's a question, are there any kits of Sea-Cans ? HO/OO scale maybe ?

[chrisonord]

I have one too, I bought it about 15 years ago from a model shop in St Helier Jersey, mine is going to be a US Marine helo, and the pod is going to be a command and radio station, so I will fit it out before sticking it all together.
