I have quite a few Condor kits in the stash, and I have built 3 so far, 2 mig-21's and a Mig-31, for the price they are good, I have built more expensive kits that needed more work on them. So they are worth buying for sure.

Just to be clear, both these kits are useable (if crude) and I wouldn't rule out buying a Condor kit again, in the same way that I wouldn't rule out an A-Model one if the subject and price were right. Also, the Condor kit is dated 1996, so for all I know, they may have improved since then.

Indeed.  Just imagine the chafing!   :o

Just got an Airfix Nimrod from my LMS (they have a sale on). What was I thinking?!! It's a bit daunting in the box to say the least!

I'm going to have to give it the bed and sleep on the floor!  ;D

Thinking RN's contribution to a NATO MARPAT DET.

Sorry, but no. I've told my imagination firmly that if it goes anywhere near that, I'm not having it back....

From Amazon (they got some nice deals on kits at times!):

Hasegawa 1/72 Grumman X-29 - maybe Iranian with a second fin (à la Saeqeh)?
Italeri 1/72 Harrier GR.3 - no plan yet.

And from the evil Bay:

Tamiya 1/700 JMSDF Shimokita - that landing ship with all the neat little tanks'n'trucks. Will be Earmarked to be part of a larger dio.
Cheers,
Moritz


Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

Radish

Yeah, Amazon sometimes come up trumps....

Meanwhile today, a birthday package arrived:

1/700 HobbyBoss USS Arizona...always useful as a RN ship or hybrid-carrier.
3 x Mirage Hobby 1/400 "Hiddensee" German/US Corvette
2 x Mirage Hobby 1/400 Tarantul II Corvette
3 x Mirage Hobby 1/400 Tarantul I Corvette
1 x Revell 1/542 USS Saratoga CVA-60....think German Navy
1 x Revell 1/570 HMS Prince of Wales....plans, plans.....

The Corvettes will most likely be civilianised to join the Rocky Horror "fan" collection.... :wacko:

Testors boxing of the XR-7 Thunderdart.
I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Size (of the stash) matters.
