My Stash just grew again 2010

[Aircav]

Wow! That thing is still around? Last time I saw that was in a Revell catalogue from the 1990s!

Yeah it looks like a 1990's box, I've decided to build more helicopters again and also to get myself a stencil cutter later this year.

A couple more eBay acquisitions today:

1/72 Monogram B-1B (gonna become one huge US Navy interceptor for GIUK gap defense, armed with AIM-54's)
1/48 Monogram Apollo 11 diorama
1/100 Heller Lunar Module

My future one man space GB is gaining ground...

And with today's acquisitions, I'm sitting at around 950 kits in the stash (945 cataloged, but I know I've got more in there somewhere that I forgot about, like at least four 1/288 An-24 kits...)

My tip, teach y'self to fly with the P-40's, they're very forgiving and feel 'right'

Although I haven't flown in ages, I'll second this. The P-40 is fun to fly.

Got the following off ebay:

1/48 Testors T-33A
1/48 Arii Ki-61
1/72 NICHIMO J2M3
1/72 Airfix P-61s x2
1/72 Hasegawa X-29
1/72 Hasegawa T-1A x2
1/72 Formaplane Henley
1/72 Airfix MiG-23
1/72 Frog Typhoon (in hot pink plastic - how could I not?  )

Is that all?  Some of us here have stashes in four figures and mine's in two separate locations....  Starting to get grief off Wor Lass because of it.  She's mainly concerned that it'll take over the flat, not to mention the fire hazzard of all that plastic.  My reply?  Shoes.

I said that once...mind you I was quite a good runner then

It's not the hobby that's concerning her - Sue's a creative person too (she's a seamstress) - it's just the volume.  Mind, I haven't bought that much this year, 40 kits max.

Aye but you really need to be building them too, although i suppose that creates another issue with storing the part and completed builds along with the unbuilt stash ?

Do you read the Discworld books ? 

I know what you mean about the volume, thats why I'm trying to seriously thin the stash. I got into the trap of buying for the sake of it I think. Now I ask myself "would you take that home and start it now" before I open the wallet.

Bonus!  eBay delivered a 1/72 XB-70 partially built today.  This thing was dang cheap!

[The Wooksta!]

It's BIG when finished and it's a bugger to build.  I would have advised against it.  Horrible kit.

[NARSES2]

Ordered from the Big H on Monday delivered by the man in the red van Wenesday...the same week 

Mpm 1/72 Meteor Mk III and and Eduard mask for the Zveda Ju 88

[The Wooksta!]

Chris, is that the 88 G or the A?  If it's the former, I've a mould for a corrected fin.  The kit one is way too small.
