From the Big H, the Revell single seat Eurofighter Typhoon, which is as good if not BETTER than was described on here. One awesome kit, specially the weapon fit and the mind blowing decal sheet!

2 x Xtradecal white stripes for general use.

A BA 777 decal sheet for what is probably an obvious Whiff after my 777-900.  ;D

What I thought was a Pavla PR Spitfire decal sheet but which turned out to be a decal sheet AND a comprehensive PR Spit conversion kit!  :thumbsup:

Yeah, yeah, I KNOW I'm meant to be reducing my Loft stock, but some stuff just has to be bought.  ;D

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! :)

Additions to my stash via todays Crewe show.

As per normal. All 1/72nd scale.

AMT Boeing KC-135R (part started, so going to be the base for an RC-135W conversion)
Academy NA P-51D Mustang.
Matchbox BAC Lightning F-2A/F-6. (part started, and at only £2 not to be sniffed at)
Hasagawa Kawasaki Ki-48 Lilly. Looks a bit like a Japanese Hampden.
Hasagawa Mitsubishi G4M-1 Betty with attendant Ohka.
Italeri Aermacchi MB-326.
I always hope for the best.

From the Crewe Show:

Nu-Bee (Plasticart) 1/72nd Beriev Be-6

Minicraft 1/144th Boeing KC-97 - to be cross-kitted with an EC-121 Warning Star (if I can find one)

Keilkraft 1/76th Edinburgh Standard Tram

Heller 1/72nd NA T-28 Trojan/Fennec

Heller 1/72nd Heinkel He 112 BO/B1 - steal at a fiver (seen them go for £17 on ebay!) particularly since it's "sealed" box turned out to have a spare set of engine cowlings and Rumanian decals in it.... :mellow:

Lindberg 1/72nd Heinkel He 100

Matchbox 1/72nd Dassault Mirage III - for £2.50, which was particularly sweet since I'd just watched somebody pay £10 for one on the stall next door.... :rolleyes:

Indeed, although I'm having trouble visualising the "industrial accident" that left the decal sheet cut in half in a squared-off wiggly line.... ;)

A 1/200 Dragon Avro Vulcan, for a project. The canopy is too low and theres something odd about the rear end but you do get two wing pylons so they must be doing a Black Buck version somethime in the future, not worth the RRP though, not worth what I payed for it come to think of it.  ;)
