My stash just grew again (2012).

[Aircav]

Went over to Franks (Kitbox) at Whitley Bay this afternoon with Paul and got the following 1/48 kits.  
Eduard Fokker Eindecker,
Eduard Morane-Saulnier Type N,
Eduard Avia B.534 serie IV,
Mirage PZL P.24
While there Gary arrived as well, seems he just back from Prague, more beer me thinks.  

[The Wooksta!]

Hope he picked up a Kora CA15 for me!

Wondered where he was last week...

So far this year, nothing.  SWMBO is very happy!  Unfortunately (for her, that is!) My CF-100 Canuck project is terminated due to a serious Cat Attack and I'm off to the LHS when we take the grandkid home tomorrow . . . There is a great one about 5 miles from their place . . .

3 Separate trips there, came back with a bottle of primer.  That's all.  Nothing else.  (Nothing turned me on!  Maybe I should see a doctor . . . )

EDIT:

SWMBO was looking over my shoulder when I typed this:  Her response:  "Maybe you should look at trains instead."

Eduard Avia B.534 serie IV,

Did you ever build that 1/32 scale one ? 

From the Pound Store Croydon; Craft knife set and mini-spring clamps.

Thanks for the heads up, I'll have a look on Thursday 

[Radish]

2 x Academy Polikarpov I-16s.....all whiffed of course, although one could be Soviet 

3 x 1/72nd Il-2M3 Eduard Weekend kits...only a smudge in price over the Airfix kit. Thinking Irish Air Corps, and US Navy. Possible East German??

A truly dreadful 1/100th Revell click-together-ready painted F-4E "Thunderbirds"....looking forward to building this straight from the box.

I keep getting the box out and openning it up to have a look, scare myself and then put it back, one day, one day......

Are tanks like buses? It certainly seems like you wait ages then they all come at once..... *


From ebay: UM 1/72nd M4A3E8 Sherman  - 200 pieces plus 42 photoetch!  










*of course it helps no end if you forget that you've bid on one, bid on another, then win both....

[Thorvic]

Via Amazon an Airfix Pucara (must be the Falklands 30th inspiring me, plus we have the new Airfix Skyhawk due and the High Planes Dagger)

From Evilbay recently - 2 Revell (ex Hasegawa) 1/48 Phantom FGR 2. Got BOTH at a combined cost that was LESS than just one of the Hasagawa originals - these continue to fetch silly prices.! A-model Sukhoi T-49 & Lavochkin La 250 "Anakonda" ( GREAT whif potential that one!). Heller 1/72 Boeing E3 AWACS - currently on the whif bench. Also picked up a number of old Airfix goodies at a car boot sale  for a mere £5 (£ 8 kits in total!!)  One of which is the Halifax B.III. Quite a decent model in spite of its age but, it DOES need a lot of TLC. So, I'm going to try & produce a better B.III by combining the wings/engines from the Airfix kit with the new Revell Halifax.

Of course,having done that, Revell will then go on to produce a B.III themselves!!!!!

Tony O'Toole did a fantastic job doing just that over on Britmodeller.

I picked up the last 2 Academy Helldivers in the MZ sale 

1 will be RNZAF * and the other BPF

From the Pound Store Croydon; mini-spring clamps.

Picked some of these up as well, thanks for the heads up 

* Must be on a bit of a RNZAF kick at the moment as I plan on doing a RNZAF late mak Seafire as well

Thanks for the heads up. Will definitely check it out. How's the Spitfire collection going  by the way? It's not an aeroplane that interests me personally as a modelling subject but, I like the idea of a themed collection such as this. I hope one day to do the same for the Harrier and Phantom
