My stash just grew again (2013)

[Thorvic]

Just picked an Airfix 1/72 Bomber Support Set from the LMS 

[Steel Penguin]

1 airfix 1:48 Merlin, and 4 vehicle crew packs.

[Leading Observer]

Eastern Express 1/72 Su-17

[McColm]

Airfix 1/72 Mosquito

[Mossie]

Revell 1/72 Stearman Kaydett.

Anybody know if Crunchie or Utterly Butterly decals are available???  Otherwise I might do it in Tiger Moth colours, maybe RAF with high demarcation or 50's FAA or maybe even that bright red/yellow Swedish sceme?

[The Wooksta!]

From a small spree in Modelzone:

5 x Airfix Spitfire PR XIX
2 x Airfix Spitfire F.IXc

The IXs are in the newer blueish grey plastic and - best of all - come with two canopies.

If you can find them on the web and you've got a a decent inkjet printer......

From todays Birmingham show

Airfix Lockheed C-130E Hercules.
Academy Boeing KC-97L.
Hasegawa Eurofighter Typhoon.
Airfix Kamov Ka-25A/C.
Airfix Rockwell OV-10D Bronco.
Esci Douglas R4D-5 Dakota.

And I very nearly succumbed to a Dragon 1/72nd Saturn V. But even reduced to £120 it was a bit to much to justify.

[PR19_Kit]

Also from the Brum show today :-

An Airfix Belvedere in a swap with our own 'Howard of Effingham' here. 

5 x bottles for my larger airbrush as I'm likely yo be doing a lot of that pretty soon, plus 2 x thinges of Revell Contacta cement.

[kitbasher]

Ditto Midlands Expo (all 1/72):

Off OGL - Kopro Piper Cub and some very handy resin bits.
Off H of Eff - Matchbox Mosquito
From elsewhere - Airfix Do215 and Revell F-101B

Kopro Piper Cub, resin bits and Airfix Do215 for whiffery, the rest real world.

Good to see (cast in order of appearance) Trev, Martin and Kit.  Nice show; not been before and with the outlaws living less than 15 mins away I think I can persuade Mrs Kitbasher (let's call her Kitbasherbasher) to include it in a weekend trip to see them in future.

BTW Trev, the type that could fit the monoplane bill we discussed is the SMER (ex-Heller) Morane Saulnier MS 225.  The Heller PZL.11 and Kopro Škoda D-1 may also fit the bill.

[Daryl J.]

1:48 Airfix Spitfire PR.XIX to make the fabric wing variant.
1:48 Monogram Phantom F-4C/D
1:48 Monogram Skyhawk
1:48 Monogram F-86 Sabrejet
I like Monogram kits.   

[Howard of Effingham]

from the birmingham show yesterday....

1/72 Matchbox HP Victor K2 [the ninth one i have in the stash]
1/72 Airfix Westland Gazelle
1/72 Airfix Westland Army Lynx
1/72 Airfix MBB Bo105
1/72 Sword BAe Harrier T4/T4N [for just £5 and it had some of freightdog's resin intakes in it too!!!!!!]

i also nabbed some etch-brass sets for the RF-101, S-2 and JASDF T-4

nice to see kitbasher, martin, and kit and thanks to richard for the lift.

[Dizzyfugu]

A 1:72 P-40Q from PEGASUS - will probably end up in NMF with bright Pacific markings
A 1:72 Polikarpov TIS heavy fighter from Valom

[NARSES2]

A 1:72 P-40Q from PEGASUS - will probably end up in NMF with bright Pacific markings

It's a nice kit  Did mine as Nationalist Chinese

[Dizzyfugu]

A friend of mine has one, too (and he also claims the kit to be good), he did it in olive drab/neutral grey - pretty straightforward. The P-40Q is actually a pretty plane (in contrast to the huge rest of the family...), and I guess that it will look really good in NMF and with bright "rally stripes" all around.
