Ooh, where might this be available?

Today from Hannants:

Modeldecal 101 - loads of RAF Vampires, quite a few Tonka GR.1s and F.3s, and the last 111 Sqn Phantom (in gloss black).
Blue Rider 812 - Macedonian and Estonian Air Force markings 1997/8. Covers a Macedon Mi-8, and an Estonian An-2. Though neither will be used for their intended purpose. :wacko:
Xtracrylix RAF Dark Green
Humbrol model filler

I was extremely disciplined, and did not order any more models! Though as ever, there were many that grabbed my attention...
Some of my models can be found on my Flickr album >>>HERE<<<

Green Dragon

Two more from ebay today.
Airfix 1/72nd F-80 Shooting Star still factory sealed.
Revell 1/144th NH-90 also sealed. Got it to convert to either a Star Trek style shuttle or an anti-grav hopper.

from Hannants, one special Hobby westland Whirlwind (the one with the 37mm cannon nose).

experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Forgot to mention - also got a Revell "easy kit" X-Wing for the boys birthday next week.  From the big-n-chunky range not the small-n-fiddly range.

Moritz, you aren't helping  ;D

One of my many talents!

I s'pose it wont help either if I say Ed's idea of a German Jag is a jolly good one.  :thumbsup: Or if I >>LINK<< to Damian's Kiwi Jag profiles.

RNZAF, Jag..... Hmmmm, could be, but then the RAAF one is just as possible. I think I'll build something else first, whilst I make some decisions, thanks for the link, Moritz, I'd forgotten about that/them  :thumbsup:

From Hannants:

3 x Italeri 1/72nd Hawk 100....you know it makes no sense at all, so that's OK then ;D
2 x XtraDecal 1/72nd Hawk Sheets

A factory sealed Matchbox 1/72nd Noorduyn Norseman off evil bay. Not sure what I'll do with the plane but thinking of using the floats for a seaplane racer or fighter that may be made from a crashed Matchbox Corsair wreck.

Got my first TSR.2 today!  :wub: It's big, beautiful and from Airfix. And for a reasonable price (19 EUR) as well.  :party: 1/48 isn't really my scale, but I just couldn't pass it up.
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?

From these guys due out in June  ;D

Example looks OK although the AA fit is more Ikara Leander rather than original Leander which makes me think an Ikara fit version may be the next release - so i aint complaining.

They also do the Current HMS Endurance
