My stash just grew again (2012).

[Martin H]

And I got some stuff at Cosford too, me who's MEANT to be thinning out the contents of The Loft!

1/72 Novo Atacker, for which I have a cunning plan.... 

It wouldn't involve longer wings would it... ?

Dont give him ideas....................................

I don't need ideas for fitting longer wings to everything on my work bench normally,  it just comes naturally. Having said that the cunning plan DIDN'T involve longer wings originally but now that you've mentioned it, that may be quite a practical proposition.....

12? I was led to believe the number was higher

[Weaver]

Interesting shopping day at Cosford, with quite a lot of bargins to be had:

Plasticart 1/72nd-ish Su-7 - to do another EE P.7D (either the Plasticart one or the KP one are 1/72nd, but they can't both be..... )

AZmodel 1/72nd Breda-Nardi (Hughes) NH-500E - 2 kits in one box, both with alternate round and pointy noses: they're good value at the RRP of £12 but discounted to £9.....

Airfix 1/72nd Henschel Hs126A

Airfix 1/72nd F-86D - £3.50 with no box  

Whirlybits 1/72nd TA-7C conversion for Italeri A-7D - It's a whole front fuselage, so could possibly end up on a Crusader.... half price at £6  

2 x pairs of resin Odds & Ordnance 1/72nd AS-30 missiles on Buccaneer pylons - £2.25 each  

Braz Models resin 1/144th B777-2/300 conversion kit - two big fans and front cowlings basically: scaleorama fodder methinks  - £2.70  

And lastly, from Mike McEvoy (cheers Mike - nice to meet you!):

Heller Humbrol 1/72nd Lockheed F-94B Starfire

At Cosford I could have spent a fortune:

But I settled for:
....
Humbrol F-94B Starfire

- great minds obviously think alike Radish.......



Ohyeahand: A sci-fi art book by Fred Gambino, who contributed many images to the TTA handbooks.

[Mossie]

Very light haul myself, Airfix 1/32 British Infantry, plus some bits and bobs like filler, tools such.

[Howard of Effingham]

Me P1111 (Trevor forced me gov!)

yer missed out that 'i'm really tempted look', but i did say that you'd regret not buying it when you were driving
back along the M40!

anyhow i bought three vacforms, one each for the HP88, HP115 and beechcraft starship and some etched brass
sets.

Plasticart 1/72nd-ish Su-7 - to do another EE P.7D (either the Plasticart one or the KP one are 1/72nd, but they can't both be..... )

I told you what my plan was for my Kopro SU-9 (no, not a P.7D copy, rather something from a certain Kingston-upon-Thames design bureau).  Having Sovietised a Lightning a couple of years ago (a spot of Su-7fication) I'm now tempted to build a Su-9ified Lightning from the leftovers.
Only a lack of time prevents me from doing a quick build!

#1 son was nice today when we stopped in to a local shop. Courtesy of his wallet I walked out with another AMT Star Trek shuttlecraft, just $10 because there are no instructions. Already got them anyway. Rheged was asking for one in British Airways livery, so if I can pick up some suitable decals I might give it a go.

Mrs Rheged suggests that  Dan Air, or even better   DAN DARE   would be good!   My younger son is currently contemplating a HOTOL in the old BOAC Speedbird livery, so if/when he gets it done photos will be posted.     As for me, I'd be delighted to see this shuttlecraft in any shape or form!

[Rheged]

At Cosford I could have spent a fortune:



I kicked myself for not buying an Airfix 1/48th Lynx as while having a pee after the show, I suddenly thought of an interesting concept.

Is the world ready for this, we ask ourselves?    All we know is that if it's Radish it will be somewhat non-standard

[Bungle]

With filthy lucre exchanging hands I received from the Wooksta the following.....

Hasegawa Kawasaki Ki-61 Tony
Hasegawa Nakajima B5N Kate
Hasegawa Kawanishi N1K1 Koyru (Rex)
MPM Mitsubishi A7M Reppu
MPM Nakajima "Kikka"
MPM Mitsubishi "Shusui"
Fine Molds Kayaba Ka-Go
Fine Molds Kawasaki Ki-100 Tony

Pass the tissues mother I think I'm going to have a little moment   

Also arrived from Britmodeller the Boulton Paul Sea Balliol by Alley Cat (nice) and a CzechMaster HP Jet provost 3 - these to be put in the stash until I'm out of my Japanese period.

Finally from Ebay .... An old Revell Douglas C-47 to be simply converted with a flashing blade into a Nakajima L2D2 'Tabby'  and a Heinkel He-162... probably to become Japanese as well 

[Radish]

Couldn't find an Academy Avenger anywhere so ordered two from Model Hobbies around midnight last night, and they were dispatched this morning......along with a Revell Gannet and two 1/48th helicopters.

[Gondor]

Arrived today

From the Big yellow H six tins of Xtracolour because two of the metal colours I like to use had dried up or gone a bit odd 

From eBay a 1/144 Airfix DC-10-30 ...... for a civil whiff I have planed

Well with a pair of Su-9 you can get rid of the Area Rule bulge and create the EE P6.


One i did many years back for the Wooksta as a possible master for him to play with which i guess is possibly still in a box in one of his stashes

Heller 1/125 Ariane 4

Have been after one for a while. I tried to get a Revell 1/144 Ariane 4 initially, but they go for silly money on eBay.
