Airfix Ford Trimotor, via a trade on BM. Quite possibly to be built as one of the machines used for the 1931 Miskatonic University expedition to Antarctica....

A few arrivals in the post today...

From the eBay Fairy:

1/48 Monogram "First Lunar Landing" Eagle module set.  Was a bit disappointed as the auction listed it as an original 1970 issue, but in fact it's clearly marked as the 1979 10th Anniversary Edition...oh well...still a nice find, still sealed in plastic.

1/72 Italeri B-26K Counter Invader.  Lovely kit!!

And from our very own "Aricav" Steve-TWO brand new Airfix Gnats...Steve offered to send me one, but apparently he lied!     THANKS STEVE!!

[Aircav]

Glad you got them ok Nick.
All the best
Steve

From a LHS I'd forgotten existed in the town where I used to work, an Airfix Strikemaster!

I thought they were out of production but it seems not. I could have done with one to assist in my Jet Provost T6 build for Operation Cosford 2012 or I would have had some scratchbuilding to do. Now it'll be a LOT easier.

First of two Shackleton's has arrived

The first from a seller on Britmodeller, a Revell Frog-re-pop swapped for a series of Albatros WWI fighters.

The second for less than £9 from Ebay is an unboxed Intech version (currently winging its way to me)


I'm thinking Six engines.... extended fuselage ??

[The Wooksta!]

From Dave T is presume?  I always intended re-engining one with four Bristol Centaurus engines, possibly with five blade props.  As for ebay, a year or so back I snaffled two Frog originals for little more than a tenner apiece.

Anyhoo, yesterday saw a nice care package arrive courtesy of RotorheadTX, containing the following goodies:

Airfix Spitfire IXc (new tool)
Matchbox Spitfire IX
Airfix Spitfire Vb (light blue plastic, so I'm assuming it's a 1970s moulding and sans canopy flaw seen on all the ones I bought in the early 1990s.)
Assorted plastic Spitfire spares, including a complete u/c from an Academy XIV (that'll do nicely to fix the written off u/c on a Fujimi PRXIX)
Resin wheels (5 spoke hub and I'm assuming they're True Details) and a resin mk XII rudder (okay, it was used on the VII onwards but was refered to as the XII rudder in all the official documentation) which I think is a Quick Boost one.

Cheers!

OGL wouldn't have got one of those Japanese bombers if it weren't for me.....actualy...think I found the other one for him.....

yeap, what with me being only 5 foot six, having the services of a 7 foot giant to reach the top boxes on the Collectakit stand was most usefull 

Thanks for that Hank 

Anbody else suddenly get the mental image of Master Blaster from Mad Max 3 ?

Just seen this remark.....

[Radish]

Bought a cheap Captain America figure from Asda.....for a secret project

[Thorvic]

I wandered into local department store Beales this afternoon, and found they had a "sales event" on...

It seemed rude not to relieve them of their remaining stock of TSR-2MS kits... especially at £15 each... 

3 x Airfix TSR-2MS



Duncan

Well it would be rude not to !

[Daryl J.]

Tamiya 1/72 Zero-5.
What an incredible 1/72 kit!!!    If detail's your reason for 1/48, this kit meets your demands and then some. 

[Martin H]
