2 special hobby douglas D-558 skyrockets [the one with the jet and rocket fuselage options]

most usefully though was the new lamp and magnifying glass from that rather bright stand in hall 1 and a very thanks to a very helpfully saleswoman!

and i think an amazing turn out from the gang though JayBee's 'truth serum' [aka whisky] is another story and was very nice to drink, especially with twiglets.

I found it buried in one of the many boxes on Collect-a-Kits stand. It was only £3 but his pricing can sometimes be hit or miss.
Best to keep searching on Ebay and hope to get reasonably lucky. Do check out www.KingKit.co.uk with a search for Mangusta, theirs is £5.99 plus £3.50 postage.

Back from SMW, having been fairly restrained, and acquired the following:

Valom XF8B-1 - to be in-service in Korea I think, or maybe Vietnam instead of Skyraiders.
RS Avia B.135 - to be Lithuanian, as per Clave's superb profile. Probably add a 3-blade prop as well.
Whirlykits Hawker P.1121 - in-service Hawker Hellion FGR.4, possibly Falklands.
Revell Skyraider two-seater - to be Argentine Navy torpedo-bomber, Falklands war.

I could have spent a lot more, but I managed to resist.

I also snagged a Revell Starfury kit for my friend Weasel. These are rather rare now, so it was a good find.

Revell Mil 26 Halo - a LOT of space in the box compared to the size of the sprues. Disappointed with the decal options though. Should've got the Zvezda version

Lance, give nev a shout (if you can get hold of him at the mo), he has the Begemot Halo set & only wanted the Indian markings.  He was willing to let the other options go to anyone who wanted them, I took the Emercom versions off his hands.  That still leaves several military & civil options:

Got home from several days away and found a few packages waiting for me...nothing to compare from the SMW swag across the pond, but the eBay fairy brought:

Matchbox 1/72 HS125-600

Revellogram 1/48 F-15E
Aeromaster 1/48 Lightnings Part 1 decal sheet

and the hidden gem...

Box of assorted 1/72 bagged kits, bought for under $5...said box contained:

Airfix 1/72 S-3 Viking
Hase 1/72 Curtiss Seagull
