Revell 1/144 HH-53C  :party:

Wouldn't mind it if Revell re-popped this one sometime soon. They go for mad money on eBay these days.
Cheers,

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?

take off and nuke the site form orbit, nope, time for the real thing, CAM and gridfire, call special circumstances.

Ahah! THAT's where that came from!  ;D

I bought two kits at Telford on Saturday! First was an Art Model Yak-141, a sort of Soviet F-35 many years earlier, and the second was the RS Models Ju-86P, obviously triggered by the Luftwaffe Recce camo scheme discussion on here.

The guy selling them, from RS Models himself said the magic words :-

[Strong German accent]

'Has two wings, short wings and VERY long wings!'

[/Strong German accent]

I also picked up Colins P1130 conversion and a neat Hurricane IID conversion which includes the entire length of the guns, breech to muzzle! Plus some decals for an RW RB-47H I've been building for ever.

First new stuff I've got in years.  :lol: ;D
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

From Sprue Bros. the CyberHobby (Dragon/DML) 1/200 B-49. It's too bad that it isn't 1/144 or 1/350 (or even 1/400) so I'll have to whiff it. What a tragedy...

Radish

Just a small Telford haul.....

1/72nd Gloster Javelin...obviously of Frog origin and very cheap......for Biggles.
1/72nd PZL P-11c
1/72nd Revell  (Heller) Vampire....REAL RAF most likely.

#1664
Telford Phase 2 yielded four kits from the Kit Sale, a Hasegawa P-38J, a Heller Super Etendard, a PM Flagon and an Italeri Spitfire VB (Yeah, I know about that Lee......  ;D ;))

I got some wonderful stuff from Odds and Ordnance (thanks OGL for pointing them out) and various recce pods from Model Art.

Plus Mrs PR19's pre-bought Xmas pressie to me was some stuff for my airbrush so I just may be able to use it this year.
