My stash just grew again (2012).

[PR19_Kit]

From the Coventry Show today :-

A 1/72 Italeri C-130J from Howard of Effingham, which included the loan of three Airfix mags with C-130 conversion articles too. Thanks VERY much. 

Plus 3 of those little clear bags/boxes from our own Colin Freightdog, a Spitfire PRXI conversion kit (I think that makes about six different ways I have making a PRXI by now.....) the Hunter F4 conversion (LOVELY job!) and the amazing 5 bladed prop and engine cowling for Griffon Spits.

To compensate for all this I left the inner lining from my jacket AND my camera behind when I came home!  (I'm not well, you know......)

Luckily OGL has them in the boot of his hi-tech Toyota electric motor vehicle and I can collect them during the week.

Actually my stash is diminishing. About 12 months ago I culled the stash and am finally now selling about 60 kits on ebay. There was more but a few have crept back into the stash again  . The number then was probably the high water mark on my collection as it had taken over too much of my modelling area and was annoying SWMBO.

Not much but ---- big
Revell 1/72 Airbus A400M and a Nostalgic Plastic (Anigrand) 1/72 C-17 correction set.

Had to see how the A400M stacked up against the C-130 and C-17 so here's a pic of the fuselages.



And purely out of interest, how the A400M is compared to a A310 which I already have, which I think is just as much an eye-opener to judge it's size.

I read that as a Chieftan tank manned by dwarves  That's what happens to your thought processes when you've known Radish for a fair old time
