Won on eBay,
My first ever 1/48 kit a Heller Mirage IVP
and if the spare parts from an odd 1/110 SR-71 kit fit, a twin fin (RF-19 thingy). If not, i'll think of something else!!

1/72 Trumpeter N.A. F-107A, a straight from the box build
1/72 SB-17 Flying Fortress, been after one of these for ages. Main wing at the rear, cunards at the front. Seen a picture of this design not too sure if this was a 'real world' or a doctored photo. Or I might just  build a civvie version.

1/24
Two AMT Fords, one Taurus saloon (European Granada). Already building a two door Coupe.
The other a 1989 Ford Probe. This could be the prototype, as the box art is square rather than the curves of the production model.

The Wooksta!

* Having now inspected this there are loads of spares in the rather large tray type box. 5 rudders, of which 2 have hooks, 5 bladed and contra props, various wheels and other bits and bobs  :thumbsup:

I did mention all this a week or so back.  A quick comparison with an Xtrakit F22 reveals that whilst they may have been from the same masters, they're definitely not the same tooling.I'll quite happily accept any spares you may wish to part with!

I realise you did Lee, I was just suprised at the amount. I'll bear you in mind for spares as I'm unlikely to use them as I'm mainly an out of the box builder
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

The Seafire F46 bits (well, the sting section) fit the Airfix F22 quite nicely.  Means I can get cracking with that one sharpish.

Kamov K1-25a/c and a Hoplite

And I had to fight the urge to buy up A-10s everywhere just to get the engine pods.  It's a compulsion of mine.
