Just been to my local lms for a pot of paint . Ended up with the New Airfix
1/72 Foland Gnat .

Looks a nice kit, the only thing I'm not happy about is the shape of the slipper tank nose.

From Hong Kong via Ebay a 1/35 Dragon MD530G (MMS) Gunship helicopter.  :thumbsup:

From ebay, Matchbox 1/72nd Hawker Tempest. Cheap because the wings are glued together (badly) and the decals are missing. Still good for bits though..... :wacko:

Just received from the postie as I took the day off work for other things

1 x 1/72 Dragon Do335A-12 Anteater which now means I have in the stash every version boxed by them in 1/72. No idea when I will build them, may have to start a production line. Would not mind getting another A-12 version so that I can do the radar equipped version which was kitted years ago by Revell?

Gondor

Quite a collection there......awesome... :thumbsup:
Added another Revell Spit MkV n this time a gift set.....v cheap....

Should say got another Dragon/Italeri 1/72 Mi 28 Havoc for a 1p less than a fiver as well...

This afternoon from a second hand/collectables shop in town, Airfix Handley Page Jetstream in the 1969 boxing, box a little scruffy but complete contents and all in perfect order for £7.50. Will be built as a U.S Navy or Honduras VIP bird. Same place has some old matchbox stuff as well as a couple of other airfix early boxings too.

Nah even I am not that daft, ish :rolleyes: :lol: nearly picked up a matchbox Mk1 Harrier as it was called too. I have been wanting a jetstream for a while, so the wait at that price was worth it.

Also from the MK Winter Show :-

A 1/72 Academy F-15E from Howard of Effingham that w've already hatched a plan for.  ;D

Two Unicraft  :banghead: helicopters, a McCulloch MC-4 taht will sit quite comfortably in the palm of my hand, and a Bell HSL-1, a helicopter I've always thought was worth Whiffing. Also got the 'Navy Fighters' book on the same helicopter.

OGL, you're absolutely right, it is an Anigrand, thanks.

But do you expect me to actually READ the box lids as well as oggle over the contents?  ;D :lol:
