only one kit from the Coventry show.. a Raffle prize.  Airfix Hurricane I with Stanford-tuck's markings.
I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

From what's becoming one of my favorite online stores - MyAtomic:

Academy 1/35 US machine gun set
Revell 1/40 Corporal Missile & transporter - for $17, it's a big, heavy box. The kit just demands to be whiffed. Should be easy to scaleorama to 1/35 or down to 1/48.

Sold a few kits from the stash at Cov which allowed a few purchases

Mirage 2000D (Italeri 1/72).  Lovely little kit, probably whiffed.  Luftwaffe and Italian are the favourites right now..

Jordan P197 (Revell 1/24)

Then 3 MasterBox figure sets

Commonwealth AFV crew - Monty figure is nice, Indian useful and camel....I'm sure Terry could think of a million uses ;)


Afrika Korps

I have an idea to use the middle 2 figures over the grave of a freshly buried comrade.  The Arab on the donkey is again tremendously useful

Yorkshire as a Kingdom...interesting. Who's the king one wonders ? Plus knowing Yorkie's I suppose the Salic law is in force ?  ;D Looking forward to this theme.

Interesting Master Box sets Nev, not seen any of them in the LHS
