Just finishing of a USMC NAW A-10, as an OVA-10M, so it would be good to see another interpretation of one.

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Is that new production then? It doesn't appear on their website, but I've never seen that boxing....... :huh:

I had the conical rocket and the lunar shuttle when I was a kid - smashed them up eventually, of course.... :banghead:

Revell 1/32nd EC 135 Air Zermatt off ebay arrived today (plus 3 pairs of 1/1 scale socks!). might be the cockpit section of a sci fi project or may do it as RW Swiss AF EC 635.

Inspired by the terrific current F1 season and in need of cheering up I went to the LHS and got a Tamiya 1/20 Lotus F107B :)

It's a new boxing of the old space station and the old (but recently re-released) Mars rocket. The re-release of the Mars Rocket by itself has parts for a satellite. This boxing, with the space station, only has the Mars rocket parts.

Lindberg has been rumored to be going through some difficulties, so I don't know how stable the supply of these newer releases is. The price on this boxing also fluctuates wildly - I've seen it for as high as $27 and as low as $12 (what I paid for at MyAtomic).

The rocket on it's own is on their website and has a "plain rocket" top end instead of the delta-winged "orbiter". is that the one with the satellite?

Be a shame if they folded again. Supply of them is a bit thin on this side of the pond, so I might have to get some from the States (at those prices it'd be worth the postage). Is the re-released XF-91 Thunderceptor out there yet? :wub:

Went into town (Leeds) the other day and happened to visit Model Zone. Left with the following....

1/72 Blackburn Buccaneer, 1/72 Airfix Bristol Beaufighter,  1/72 Revell F8F Bearcat, 1/72 Revell P-51D Mustang, 1/72 Hasegawa Weapons Set: V,  and a selection of paints.

Nearly came out with an Airfix Catalina and a Sunderland too.... Maybe next time!  :wacko:

Picked up a Revell 1:72 F8F-1 Bearcat (rather nice - an old Monogram tooling? Has "MMI 1976" on the lower wing piece. Will be for the Test & Experimental GB) and an Airfix Walrus Mk.II (post-apocalyptic) today.

I also have a small pile of kits en route from Narses:

Dragon P-38J (no idea yet)
Hobbyboss F-86F-40 (no idea, but the JASDF markings will be going on a Meteor)
Hasegawa EE Lightning F.6 (for one of my Super-Lightning projects)
Italeri F6F-3 Hellcat (will be a cannon-armed, bubble-top Super-Hellcat)
Italeri JAS-39 Gripen (no idea yet)

Don't tell the missus, or I'll be for the chop! :blink:
