just got back from a rummage sale in my old neighbourhood,

What are the alternative RN markings like ?

Off eBay just received the 1/72 Esci RAF Hercules and mid week i got a Heller Hawkeye.

Also picked up from Hannants the Kitsworld 1/72 Late Seafire decals so i can do my dads 805 Sqdn Seafire XVII when it was on Ocean post war

the RN markings are for an HAS.2 of 814 NAS.
they arent exactly high quality, but they will do.

pic of a completed version:


looking at them, they would go nicely on a S-70 Seahawk

1/48 SU-7 for £10 at Duxford...sweeeeeet Ruined by some rude s*d at a bookstall; if you don't know your subject (i.e.aviation) then don't sell it!

1/144 Airfix Boeing 727
I'm thinking of building a stretched version, five engines and two wings in tandem .

RNAS Yeovilton Airday yesterday

1/72 Esci F/A18 £4
1/72 Airfix Eurofighter £7 with the four decal set plus some etch thrown in as a bonus
1/72 Hasegawa Jaguar GR1 £7 with alternate XTRADECAL set

Was severely tempted by a Kinetic Mig 31 for £8, but as 1/48 doesn't fit my build plans.

In Modelzone Bluewater yesterday, an Airfix 1/72 splurge:

North American F-51D Mustang
Gloster Gladiator
Hawker Typhoon IB

All these new mouldings look rather good and crisp!

just got back from another rumage sale 
i found a Revell 1/125 U99 U-boat + 4 pots of paint + brush set + glue for 5 Euro's. bargain of the month for me 

im going to another one after lunch not to far from here, i wonder what i will find next

Went to the Essex Modellers Show at Billericay today and it was nice. About 8 club stands, Britmodeller, Hornchurch, Southeast Essex, Medway etc and some traders. No sign of Gavin or Stacey 

Revell ATB B-2. That's the B-2 kit Revell did before they saw the real thing. Picked it up for £20, I think the hot weather has gone to my brain

Not just got to it Nick, but totally melted it me thinks.......

At last a Heller 1/72 Lockheed WV-2/EC-121 Warning Star.

Nice one Ed! 

That's a terrific looking aircraft and not too bad a kit considering it's a Delta/Supermodel kit. If we didn't already know it existed people would claim that it WAS a Whiff!

I didn't know there was an S55 kit! Will have to start hunting for one now....

Two actually, the Delta kit in 1/72 and the ITC/Ringo in 1/96th.
Note that both are of the S.55X transport version as used in Balbo's formation flight and not
one of the bomber variants.

Hasegawa F-4G Wild Weasel.
