My Stash just grew again 2010

[thedarkmaster]

Just got a Pegasus X-1 in 1/18th scale, going to be something in 1/144 scale

Wanted to get an Italeri 1/35 M60 Blazer and a Dragon 1/700 Ark Royal from the LHS today, but these were already sold. At just 10 EUR a pop, they would've made nice additions to the stash. The Blazer was supposed to have donated the 105mm barrel with thermal sleeve to a Centurion whiff. And the Sea Things, Sea Dart and Exocets from the Ark Royal sprues were intended for the Hipper I acquired only recently.

So I just got an Italeri 1/72 AS-332 Super Puma for a fiver instead.

And on the way home I found a store that sells Mountain Dew!  At an outrageous price (1.5 EUR per litre - even gas is cheaper over 'ere! ), but ya only live once, don't cha?

Is it the normal Mountain Dew with the high fructose corn syrup, or the MD Throwback made with real sugar?

Too bad shipping is insanely horrible, else I'm fairly certain I could corner the market on MD exports 

I mean, I hate the stuff I've had it so much growing up.

From an LHS, the Tamiya 1/100th F-4EJ Phantom for a devastating £2.75. To possibly be chopped up to feed a mad idea  .  It's good quality but a bit odd, with no Sparrows but two Falcons on each inboard pylon.... It also had a scheme for the 306th Sqn which includes the stylised bird of prey marking that somebody (can't recall who, sorry) uses or used as an avatar on here.

I can't believe how cheap these re-released Tamiya 1/100ths are!

Been away for a few days holiday....

An Airfix 1/72nd Buccaneer......for Biggles.
From the Early Learning Centre:
Polar Bear
Penguin......both extreme ends of the globe and both, like the Bucc, for Biggles stories.

[Green Dragon]

Awww! Thought we were going to have a war between your Meerkats and a coalition of Polar Bears and Penguins for a minute there Radish!
Had a Revell EC135 (ADAC/OAMTC boxing) arrive from ebay this morning.

[ChernayaAkula]

From that well-known online auction website....

1/72 Airfix Spitfire PR. XIX - need the engine for a Mustang
1/72 Airfix Hs 123 -  will get re-engined with the engine from the Airfix Me 109E I got a couple of days ago
1/72 Hobby Boss Dewoitine D.520 - for the "Vive la France" GB

Is it the normal Mountain Dew with the high fructose corn syrup, or the MD Throwback made with real sugar?

With real sugar. Is there a noticeable difference in taste? I only had Mountain Dew once before. In Tbilisi, Georgia (the one in the Caucasus), of all places. Don't remember their ingredients, though.

Revell 1/144th Junkers G-38 Airliner, bought to get whiffed but not sure what it'll be yet.

Got a Knight in armour, on horseback too.....for the Stafford display at Telford....it'll be "Knight Of The Living Dead".

[Spey_Phantom]

by brothers just came to me with a brandless (looks like a cheap rippoff of Bronco) 1/48 A-10A Thunderbolt.
a friend of his bought this a few years back but never started it, he was gonna throw it away (shame on him.....), but my brother managed to convince him otherwise.

box pic:



i remember the bow well, they were sold in the LIDL supermarkets about 4 or 5 years ago for a very cheap price (5 euro) and im amazed, for a cheap kit she looks incredibly well detailed  

usually i dont build 1/48, but it might make a nice Danish or SAAF machine for display  
on second thought, i think it would be perfect in swedish markings with Splinter camo 

[pyro-manic]

Bash it into a 1:72 monster bomber or anti-shipping aircraft. 50mm gatling gun!

Went into Modelzone Manchester this morning and picked up a Trumpeter 1/700 USS Eisenhower CVN in the sale.
