I don't think she'd be too happy to be given kits for her birthday...

is the Mojo returning?
I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Size (of the stash) matters.

And you're gonna put the SPV decals on the wingless Hawk and turn that into some sort of Spectrum machine right??

I think I might have some wings for it, I'm sure I was planning on using some left over Italeri wings on the kit I have

From the LHS: a RoG F/A-18E Super Hornet in 1/48. At 50% off, it only cost a tenner!  :party:

From eBay: a RoG 1/144 Tornado Gr.1! No certain plans, but it was cheap and comes with a lot of British weaponry!
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?

A friend and I went up to Franks at Whitley Bay this afternoon and I came away with the following,

1/72 Heller Alouette III
1/72 Hasegawa Sea Harrier
1/72 Hasegawa Harrier GR.3
1/48 Hobbycraft Beaver
1/48 Special Hobby Focke-Achgelis Fa 223

Some very nice transfers with the Beaver, French, Vietnam and Laos, the Laos ones will go on some type of Biplane.  ;D

ps, Saw two sand coloured armoured Pinzgauer's on the back of a civil low-loader on the way up, both with red and white checker bands round them, red and blue police type bar flashing lights on the roof and what looked like a remote camera on a post mount.

I wasthinking of doing the same thing, although it'd be quite a mod, given that the Italeri has a one-piece lower wing that fits in a cut-out in the fuselage, while the Matchbox -200 has (typically) separate L and R wings which butt onto a complete fuselage. I think I prefer the idea of making the cut-out in the Matchbox fuselage rather than converting the Italeri ones to butt joints.
