From ebay, a Hobbycraft Clunk. This will become a "Clunkaneer", with Bucc wings and tail surfaces, possibly a bomb bay. :)

So nearly a CF-103 then? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avro_Canada_CF-103)

It will be something close to the drawing rallymodeller did for me here. Probably a mud-mover, with lots of bombs or rockets. Might even put a Meteor T.7 canopy on it to make it look really tough!
Some of my models can be found on my Flickr album >>>HERE<<<

the MH60 special ops Blackhawk had gone though....... :angry:

No sign of them in Newcastle, mate.  Sorry!

Ironically, there were 3 Dragon Meteor F.IIIs!  I may succumb to one.

Funny enough neither did I untill a certain forum admin who lives in some place called Bolton pointed it out.

It was spotted on eBay Lance so not a chance i would post a direct link in the forum as that could lead to an excessive bidding war between members, somebody does a resin A-Wing that pops up on a regular basis on UK eBay.

Gondor

Received today from Airfix

1 x A3 Humbrol Cutting Mat, complete with the propeller marking on it for getting the angles right. It was their second attempt admittedly but they did say yesterday that they would send a replacement mat for the one they sent originally.

I don't have that much, nothing in the loft at all. I have actually finished more kits this year than any other year that I can remember and I plan to finish more.

PR19_Kit

While on holiday in N Wales with Mrs PR19 I found the most AMAZING model shop in Portmadog, of all places! A one-man business with the most astonishing and varied stock I've seen since last visiting the Big H in Oulton Broad.

Amongst other wonders (but no Airfix Gnats.....  :banghead:) he had a Mach 2 P6M-2 Seamaster, the one with the beaching trolly.

It's now in the corner of our hotel room............
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! :)

Regards
Kit
