My stash just grew again (2013)

A new 1:1 exhaust for my car. £200 for a bit of metal tube....

My exhaust fell of on sunday. Late 70's Cadillac DeVille, my everyday car, €13.22 + €65.84 shipping to ireland (Airmail)
Cheapest car I've ever owned and run!

Either you don't do much driving, or you're used to battle tanks....

Just back from my trip south, one modelshow and five museums late I got the following, all from the North Somerset Model show I have to admit.

1/72 Zvezda Greek Triera
1/48 Trumpeter Vampire
1/16 Entex 1914 Militaire Motorcyle
Plus a load of aircraft profile magazines and some Flying Review mags. 
Also spotted Nick lurking at the show.

'Ti's indeed a  bit of a battle tank! 5.7 V8 diesel, 34mpg!!! (I'm turning into me dad, keep checking the mileage every week )
Much hated by the Colonials, they kept putting 'Gas' in them by mistake.

Oh! And just to stay on thread topic, a couple of 1/72 airfix seahawk's to go with the unknown origin east European ones
i got last week of a mate.

[The Wooksta!]

The East European ones - if they are covered with rivets and have a solid cockpit with a head - are most likely from the former Frog tools.  Just build them as is, attach the canopy and paint it black and use them as flying models.  Ideal clothes horese for daft schemes.  I've one that I'm intending as an RNVR aircraft, if only I can get a replacement tailplane...  Even got the markings and a squadron lined up.

just placed an order for a new stashload 

tools:

-revell catalogue 2013
-revell masking tape 6mm and 10mm

kits:

-revell 1/144 Alfa Jet
-revell 1/144 Su-47 Berkut
-revell 1/144 Junkers Ju52
-trumpeter 1/144 YF-22 Lightning II
-trumpeter 1/144 YF-23 Black Widow II
-revell 1/72 MIG-3 (to be converted to Renard R-36/38)
-Trumpeter 1/72 Heinkel He162 Salamander

arrived today, although the He162 turned out to be a prebuild easymodel version, not a kit 

[The Wooksta!]

The Trumpy one is likely to be an assembled painted Hobbyboss kit, itself copied from the Dragon kit. 

Could be worse, could be the rivetty Lindberg/Revell kit or the Frog/Revell one, which is marginally better.

[Radish]

Via Hobbycraft as I was (NOT) passing

2 x 1/72nd Airfix Spitfire 22s
1 x 1/72nd Airfix Hampden......for Biggles.

Some steampunky stuff and glue.

[Dizzyfugu]

An Italeri 1:200 B-2 (as a set with a F-117). Plan is to make a 1:72 scale, subsonic stealth attack aircraft from it  .
Maybe a USN type - a smaller/simpler successor to the A-12 that never was...?

[Chris Payne]

Postie delivered an Ebay purchase today.

Airfix 1/72 Boeing Chinook HC.1

This is going to the top of the build list as it is going to be built as Bravo November for my local IPMS clubs Telford display.

[Leading Observer]

From Ebay: KP Mig-15, Mig-19 and Yak-23, Academy F-89J and old Airfix Typhoon

Got a much better idea: it will become a Japanese stealth type, the AF-4.
Should look pretty cool in a dark blue F-2-style livery, and it will even fit into the Asiarama GB... Lots of added value!

[Weaver]

From Modelzones in Manchester and the Trafford Centre:

8 x Revell 1/72nd Me.P1099B
8 x Revell 1/72nd Jagdpanther (keeping half of those for sci-fi builds)
6 x Revell 1/72nd T-80B

22 kits for £37.50: 

Mostly to be sat on and them fed onto ebay to slightly subsidise my plastic habit....

[Army of One]

Picked up 2 more Airfix Goslings and 2 sea king for a site member.....to be posted in the next few days along with the other two going to Canada.........
