My stash just grew again (2013)

 1/35th Riich Model Skoda Radschlepper Öst Type 175,
not one of Ferdinand Porsche's highpoints.




No, it will not be built 'real - world'.

Hehehe, not even a Meteor of ANY sort....... 

I suspect you're leaving the canopy off, claiming it's 1/144 and finishing it off as a retro 1950's British Aerospace ATP/Jetstream 61!

I suppose that could be a possibility, but it's NOWHERE near what I have in mind.

From Ebay:
All for my South American wargames campaign (at various points in its history).

Aero C-3A - not sure yet what it's going to be.
M48 tank - possibly to become a Sgt. York-ish type air defence vehicle.
Boeing P-12E - by mistake! I kept wondering why this particular kit was a biplane when I knew for a fact that the P-26 (which I actually wanted) was a monoplane. C'est la guerre, at least it's an interwar fighter. Maybe to become a sesquiplane.
Fokker Friendship - want to turn the F27 into an "E27", lots of aerials, bumps and "cheek pads". And, possibly, an Erieye radar (especially if I don't win the DH Heron, which was my original choice for an Erieye aircraft).
Meteor NF. 11/12/14 -wings to be chopped, engines mounted directly on the fuselage sides and wings put back together again, because I ALWAYS fail to win the CF-100 I'm after, as a former-fighter-assigned-to-close-air-support aircraft. "Poor man's A-10".

italeri 1/72 modern US carrier deck
airfix  1/72 DH vampire [the boxing with the RNZAF markings]
airfix 1/72 shorts tucano

[McColm]

Off eBay,
1/72 BAe Hawk 200 single seater. I thought of a dual seater, with in-flight refuel probe, carrying Harpoon missiles.
Corgi Major Chubb Fire Engine 'Airport crash truck'. Diecast, better condition than the one I'm going to convert into a Scud carrier.
Got a sailing boat in a job lot or three Revell kits.

From the REME museum show yesterday

Airfix new tool Typhoon 1b. It lives up to what's been said about it. It's gorgeous!! 

The re-released Airfix MiG 29. the new decal/Transfer set is seriously gorgeous....Polish and Czech AF. Incidentally, the markings for the Czech machine are fro the same squadron the attended the 1994 Tiger meet at the Fairford show. I lined up for an hour to get a sit in the cockpit and a squadron badge.

... or a parasol monoplane along the lines of the Boeing Model 202 and 205 (XP-15 and XF5B-1).

... or even shoulder mounted like the Model 96 (XP-9).

I might well be missing something, but wouldn't be a regular Hawk trainer kit (from Airfix, Matchbox or Fujimi) be an easier point of departure for that route, especially since single seaters (presumably of the former Matchbox breed) are the much rarer variety?

From Stafford Hobbycraft on the way to last week's IPMS Stafford meeting....

Some cake-icing nozzles and cutters...great for sc-fi nozzles.

Have to agree there

Great pic Jon, thanks for posting. Why do I see that as a parasol mounted Airship fighter ?

Because it looks like a big Sparrowhawk perhaps?
