2 x B-17G (Hasegawa 1/72nd)....both most likely RAF, including a postwar Maritime Patrol aircraft.

Revell (Matchbox) PB4Y-2 Privateer in 1/72nd:
RAF Maritime reconn postwar; RAF Bomber Command WW2; 8th AF USAAF 1946????
A huge number of possibilities with this....how about a damned great radome on the top??
The first (I have "a number") will be USN Gloss Sea Blue for Biggles from "Biggles Follows On".... :thumbsup:

Now either of those would look spectacular

If I can get one, I'd like a Revell Privateer as I've been thinking about one as a 100 Group aircraft, probably replacing the Stirling. MSG/Night (or possibly Ocean Grey/Dark Green/Night) as opposed to the more usual colours.

In service XB-24K/N?  Would be good.
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Finally collected my Father's Day pressie Airfix Spit 22 and new Gnat, and topped it off with the new Mustang too. All three look terrific, but I only have Whiffing plans for the Gnat.................so far.  ;)
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

I wonder, would those plans   possibly include   wing lengthening???

3 different boxings of the Minicraft B-24J. Only opened one so far...4 decal choices including RAF SEAC :wub:, RAAF :wub: and 2 USAAF....very impressed.
Also impressed with the slogan on the box:

"Modelling is a Lifetime of Learning".  :thumbsup:

Also got a Kit-World 1/144th sheet for Lancasters, another 1/72nd sheet for B-25Js, and an FCM sheet for Brazilian and Argentine PBYs in 1/144th

Happy bunny ;D

Picked up a Fujimi JMSDF S-3 Seaking this week off eBay. Now i can do the Argenyine Navy Sea King, and i can use the Fujimi Westland Sea king to make a RN one as whilst the Revell kit would supposedly make a HAS5 the cabin is only configured for SAR duties as no floor opening or cabin gear for the sonar - It has the Dunking sonar which is very nice but is only for use when deployed !!!!, nor does it carry ASW weapons or MAD device. Like many Revell kits their are parts there which might go towards making a proper ASW version but the additional parts sprue required has not be produced - pity  :banghead:
