Got my Meng Ki-98 today, had it to fetch it from customs since I bought it directly in China.
Still not certain what to make of  it - either a conservative IJA fighter, or something "different", e. g. a Taiwanese aircraft, leftover from WWII?

I'm going to do mine as the Thai aircraft from the box - love those Elephant markings  :thumbsup:

Unusually for me a Jet - Airfix new tool A4, probably FAA. Looks very nice in the box
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Hit the sale in the Trafford Centre Modelzone last night. Bit disappointing to be honest, with lots of the stuff on the website either not there or still at full retail. Did however get:

Revell 1/78th Fairey Rotodyne for a fiver - got three now, and each one's been cheaper than the last... ;D

Academy 1/72nd Dassault Super Etendard - not got a definite plan for it, but for three quid, it's basically an Exocet with a free aeroplane thrown in.

Airfix 1/100th P-47 pre-painted Minikit - because my collegue, looking over my shoulder at the MZ site, was much taken with the "cute likkle aewoplane" so for a devastating £1.49, it'll be on her desk Monday morning... ;D

Just been to the Manchester MZ this morning. No sci-fi stuff on sale there either, and not much different to the last time I looked to be honest. Got a Revell 1/40th M-48 bridging tank, because for a fiver, it's an excellect base for something sci-fi. In fact, the hull is such a "Dan Dare" shape that it'd make a pretty decent spaceship!

When I got home, a couple of ebay wins had arrived:

Hobbyboss 1/72nd AH-1F Cobra, becuase I want a flat-panel Cobra canopy.

Airfix 1/72nd NATO Hi-Tech weapons set: the second I've scored for a knock-down price, this time becuase it had no instructions. :thumbsup:

Just back  from holiday, during which my sons and I acquired  a   cheap " mig 29 "   that could become   part of the Fleet Air Arm  training squadron at Machrihanish,  a spitfire with floats  that was based on Port Stanley in1947,   lots of Citadel paints  and "certain other items"  for Rheged  junior's   birthday.  I'll list these AFTER  24th September. Suffice it to say that they were cheap and unusual.  Also a Gloster  Gladiator  kit in a broken box;  this could become a monoplane Gloster Grommit  to match the Westland Wallace Rheged junior is    thinking of   making.

Arrived from the BIG yellow H today

1 x 1/72 Sword Harrier T2/T2A/TAV-8A to be real world (could end up buying lots of these as it looks very nice indeed)

1 x 1/72 Heller Mirage 2000B to be melded with an old Esci EFA to make something nice

Just arrived from the big H, via the man in the red van (or to be more truthfull, the man on the red bicycle)

2 X Dragon 1/144 U-2R "Dragon Lady"
and some Alclad paint for a different project.

The U-2 is a gorgeous little kit (never thought I would refer to anything to do with the U-2R as little  :rolleyes: )
From the breakdown of the kit parts there are going to be at least two other versions released, one of them a two seater.

The, very small, transfer sheet gives two markings, 1 USAF (Snoopy) and one Taiwanese.

I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

I can't IMAGINE what's in store for that poor little beastie.....  ;D
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! :)

From ebay:

2 x Orion 1/72nd Space Battles sets, one with 17 figures and 2 walkers, the other with 4 "flyers" and 3 figures.

WTF? All is revealed (scroll down to near bottom: sets DDS72001 and DDS 72006)
