RevD Tu-95 Bear D. Will be my Kriegsmarine MP plane for the continuing Fatherland build.

Well.......I thought Kits package was pretty impressive.....but that is nothing compared to Geoff(Thorvic) package...!!! Got a mahoosive aid parcel today containing.....all 1/72...Zvezda Mi26,Mi8,Ka27 and Revell Su24,Merlin and Tigre with an airfix Pucara....and a spankingly generous helping of 1/700 aircraft n helo's..........big thanks to Geoff for the bargains.......

The new Airfix Mk.I Spit found it's way into my stash vis my LHS. Thinking pre-war coatal patrol a/c, maybe with big boots for landing in slushy ice. And no spinner.

Today, an impulse buy of an Airfix Battle. Now, do I do twin-engine, uprated Merlin, radial, or something else? FAA torpedo bomber instead of the woeful Albacore?

May I suggest these for inspiration:




From here: Southern Sea Eagles - The Alternative RAN FAA

Regards,

[pyro-manic]

I was partly inspired by those, particularly the radial one.

This arrived today from the aviation megastore, rediculously expensive I know but I have plans of replicating it to an extent.

Thats got my atttention...... ........replicating.......?? Mmmmm....do tell........

Get resin kit bits, drop into rubber and cast from resultant moulds?

Something tells me our own "bladerunner" wouldn't be too fond of this, given that he's the man behind Scaleworx.

From ebay:

Novo Spitfire F14 (wings are rubbish but I think the fuselage is salvageable)

Novo De Havilland Hornet (long term stock restock)

[Captain Canada]

Good ol' Davey at D & B's One Stop Model Shop is one 'eck of an salesman, I tells ya......just spent money I didn't have on a kit I didn't want. On the other hand, I'm now the proud owner of an Airfix Valiant !

[The Wooksta!]

From Ebay (pt 2)

Heller Spitfire F.XVIe (stash restock - my stock of Heller 16s is running very low).
Black box issue, IMO the best one to have as they mucked around with the tool later and added more alignment parts inside the cockpit, one right in the middle of the entry door.  Numpties.  The photo-top Heller/Humbrol boxing is okay though.
They didn't fix the problems with the outline though, namely the canopy is the wrong shape (allegedly as I can't see it myself) and the tail is too tall. The latter isn't such a problem though as it's unnoticeable until you put a Hasegawa rudder on it.

Received this morning in the post from Korea

1 x 1/72 DXM decals J.A.S.D.F. F-2A & F-2B decals....... so all I need now is something to detail the cockpits of an F-2A and an F2-B and I am all set to model both in something much nicer than the boring decals from the Hasegawa box
