My Stash Just Grew Again (2011)

[Martin H]

A pair of stash replacements arrived today. Via Ebay.

Two Matchbox EE Lightning F-2/6's 

[The Wooksta!]

3 more Admiral Seafire F45s from ebay, although one is for a mate.

Total Spitfire acquisitions in April to date - 15.

From ebay:

1. Revell F-94C Starfire: old, old kit, but cheap whiffodder. Not sure of the scale: I've seen it described as 1/56th, can anyone confirm that?

2. Odd box of 1/35th tank bits: 2 x Leo 2A2 (? square) turret upper halves, 2 x Leo 2A6 (pointy) lower halves and a load of wheels and suspension.

From Sprue Bros - 1/72 Special Hobby 1/72 Saab J-21R and 1/144 Zvezda LaGG-3 - which is a simple snap together kit, but looks great. I also got some Warpig washes.

Two new additions to the stash:
Trumpeter 1/144 Tu-16K-10 Badger-C - will be whiffed
Trumpeter 1/700 Battlecruiser HMS Renown 1942 - will also be whiffed.

All, in all, the stash actually shrunk, as I - gasp - sold some kits!

Got a Hasegawa 1/72nd YF-16 CCV from ebay this morning, may do it RW in the blue and white camo scheme or add the CCV bits and whif it as a ground attack plane.

Airfix 1/72nd WW1 French Infantry
Airfix 1/72nd Gladiator 1....great as a whiff.

From ebay: set of three old Airmodel vac-form 2-seater canopies for a G.91T, a Mirage IIIB and a Jaguar E.

[The Wooksta!]

Best of luck with them.  The plastic used is resistant to most known cutting tools.

Yes, I was just thinking that it looked suitable for secondary double glazing...

[The Wooksta!]

TBH, you could stand on them and they won't even crack.  I'm sure it's some kind of acetate rather than normal plastic.  IIRC, I've an Airmodel Anson somewhere and it's a clear plastic fuselage.  Sure it's the same stuff.

Could this be used to make a model rather like the cutaway drawings in the old EAGLE  comic?

[The Wooksta!]

Don't see why not.  Clear plastic but it's so old the fuselage has bowed in slightly.  You interested in it?  If so, we could come to some amicable arrangement as I'm unlikely to build it.

Thank you for your offer, but   I don't think my skill level is sufficient to do this justice. Perhaps someone more adept may  be interested.

I am under threat if the stash grows any further.....both my sons have their own stashes blocking up the book case on the upstairs landing as well as my stuff.  I'm afraid my work for the next little while will be restricted to redecorating the front room for Mrs Rheged!

I collected a parcel from my local post office which contained

1 times 1/72 Airfix SabreF4 to be done real life, 20 Sqn I think

1 times tube of GS Mr Hobby Mr White Putty seeing that I used most of my original tube on my Meteor F2

Both from ModelsForSale
