[pyro-manic]

Just looked it up in BSP. Though I already have one V-Force project to do (my Hawker Vindicator, that I think I've discussed briefly with you before), I do quite like the idea of a T-tailed Super-Canberra. Space is a big issue though - I don't really have room to display such a large model in my flat...

[Hobbes]

from my LHS: Airfix Saturn V

What I got at SMW.

Aeropoxy Ikarus 451 M. This is a resin kit of the tiny Ikarus 451 M, the first indigenous jet to be built in Yogoslavia. There was one built-up one the Aeropoxy/IPMS Serbia stand, and one kit on display. When I asked how much the kit was they very apologetically said that it was the only one they had brought and it was not for sale. However after chatting for a while I was offered it but told that it would be expensive, £25. I reached straight for my wallet.
So what do you get. Well there are not a lot of resin bits as the fuselage and wings are all one piece (brother Narses still reakons that is really 1/144 scale, he's wrong it IS 1/72) , two vac formed canopies, two canopy masks, transfer sheet for the one and only one that was built, instruction sheets, AND a CD which gives an article about the aircraft (not in English) photos of the aircraft in it's early days, and a whole series of colour photos, both general and detail of the aircraft as it is now displayed in the Aviation Museum in Belgrade.

Expensive? Not in my mind.

From ebay...

Three A+V resin kits in 1/72nd

Watanabe E9W1 'Slim' seaplane
Kyushu K10W1 Trainer (think this was a licenced built North Americam NA-16)
Aichi F1A1 Trainer - not the float plane but the weird round things on the end of sticks   .

[Captain Canada]

White Ensign's HMS Illustrious airwing PE set.....look at the cute little forklifts !

Jim it's tiny, you've got to see where I'm coming from ? 

However the price and the package = bloody good deal IMHO 

By the way have you just got back home ? I know it's uphill, but a week 

[PR19_Kit]

Mrs PR19 says there's a parcel at home (I'm not there at the moment) that looks remarkably like the previously delivered 3 x Angel Interceptors. As I've definitely been refunded the price of one shipment of them this could be a good deal!

Meanwhile...just ordered a Medusa figure, 8" high.....I'll need to do full research before painting the undressed lady with snakey head.

[Spey_Phantom]

From ebay:

3 x Keil Kraft 1/72nd scale Ford Trans-Continental truck tractor units.

To be used, I hope to semi-modernise otherwise-useful WWII era vehicles for Patchwork World, which need to be a bit more modern than the 1940s, but not bang-up-to-date, which is a bit tricky.



From a local Hobby Shop (Warren Kerfoot's in Compstall http://www.wkmodels.co.uk/):

Airfix 1/72nd Hampden in an old red stripe box - nose-full-of-guns flakbasher, probably....

Airfix 1/72nd B-26 Marauder in an old boxing - possibly to be the "Bristol Barbarian" agent-dropper from There's No Escape, although there's so much lovely interior detail in this kit that it feels like a crime not to use it...


Airfix 1/72nd Fairey Firefly - don't know: might sell it.....

Monogram 1/72nd F-82G Twin Mustang - COIN aircraft? Either USAAF SE Asia cammo or some Central American player in an expanded Soccer War?

Trumpeter riveting tool.


All the above for a VERY reasonable price, so cheers Warren!
