My Stash Just Grew Again (2011)

Nice find H,
I never seem to find any 1/72nd scale light civvy aircraft when I look, I want some for my cartel.
Cheers,
Chris.

The Eidai ones come up quite regularly, but they often go for silly collector's prices, as do the Airfix ones like the SA Bulldog and the Piper Cherokee. Just keep doing searches on Cessna, Beechcraft, Piper, Aero Subaru (one of the Eidai ones)  etc... and you'll find them.

From Amazon:
Four Italeri 1/72 MiG-29A Fulcrums - at 6.17 EUR a pop and with only ICM Fulcrum-Cs in the stash, I couldn't really say no, could I?

I've just bought on EBay a Dinky die cast 'Essex Police' Ford Capri MKI 3000 GXL 1974, white two doors, boot and bonnet that opens, blue interior. Passenger seat missing, original paintwork, stickers and dayglow stripes still in place. Blue flashing light broken off. Someone has added self taping screws to hold the base plate to the car body. Could be 1/43 scale..
Will replace the dayglow stickers, paint the inside dashboard and general tidy up.

I'm sure it's a 1:25 scale model. If it is Essex Police (think they came as Lancashire) then I'd like to see some pics when you're done cleaning her up. Had a lot of toy police cars as a kid including a Corgi blue and white Ford Escort 1.3 GL which I'm sure is better spec then the real thing, certainly hasn't rusted away yet!

Also have a Corgi Rover 3500 with opening doors and boot hatches, you could lift the bonnet to see the detailed engine. Found my Matchbox 1978 Plymouth Trail Duster in Emergency Rescue markings that even has a working winch on the front.
These are just the big toy cars....

ooops, you are right it is the 1/25. I had the Corgi Police and Fire Rangerovers at one stage must have given them to my nephews..

Leiji Matsumoto-verse!

From a sale on Britmodeller, a Skywave 1:700 Spruance for a very reasonable price. For bashing.

So much for my Missus saying I have enough model kits, she brought me home an airfix 1/72nd scale F-15e strike eagle this morning from a car boot sale she went to. Anyway, it was only 3 quid, which was nice 
Cheers,
Chris.
