From ebay:

Frog DH Hornet F.3

And another 'Holy Grail' falls to me.Never knew on existed until 6 months ago and now I've won one of them.  Apparently,there were some injection gaming miniatures of several ships from Blake's 7 - Liberator, Federation Pursuit ship, System chase ship and Scorpio! The latter was the only one I was interested in and now I have one (subject to Royal Mail bolshevism and incompetance).  That is definitely falling into rubber as I'd like another two, the sister ships Gemini and Aries.

I honestly haven't got a clue.  They've popped recently, so loft clearances.  Never in any packaging either.

While attemtping to REDUCE the contents of my Loft by taking some to the Coventry Trade Show today, I actually bought two more kits, a Hobbycraft F-89J Scorpion and a Revell Ju-290.  :o

I did actually sell more models than I bought but came about level on the financial side.
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! :)

A few weeks ago I was talking to our local postie and mentioned that I build models, she said oh  my other half has a load of kits he has never built! So the other day she dropped them off and well I was not expecting this lot!


Better establish that he knows she's dropped them off before building any...... ;)

I am assuming so, the problem is I do not have space for the big 1/24 scale huricane and spit or the 1/48 lanc for that matter!

I'll bear you in mind when I start casting then.

Two more ebay wins, two more Hornets - one Frog (70s white boxing - boo!), one boxed Novo.  Three in one day.

Todays ebay arrivals are a Heller Noratlas (mint and sealed from Plastic Pastimes) so I can now build my not so mint and dented box one!
Revell F4U Corsair (2nd in a week because I bid on two hoping to get one but accidently won both).
Revell F-14D Last Flight (not sure what I'll do with this, maybe Aussie Navy?).
Severely tempted to bid on some Frog Hornets but figured "Nah... I bet Lee is watching them" and from his earlier post I think he was!
