Missed a Hasegawa X-29 from the last purchase...  :rolleyes:

And just won a Matchbox Hawk 200 for EUR 1,- at ebay last night. Hurray!

On the downside, the Matchbox Skyknight from Australia turned out to be a dud: it is "complete", three sprues in three colors, plus clear parts and decals, but one of the main sprues is double - even though these twins were molded in two different colors!? Never seen this before... So, now the cockpit and landing gear are missing, but at least the fuselage (which I primarily need for the F3D-3 conversion plan  :wacko:) is there.

I was given a Revell 1/144 C-17 GlobemasterIII over the weekend and thought of a heavy lift helicopter. Instead of going down the quad tilt  or six tilt engines approach, I'd add the rotor heads from either a 1/72 Sea Knight or Chinook at each end. The C-17 vertical tail would need to be cut off and I could reduce the wing and keep two engines from the kit, a raid in my spares box from one of the Rotordyne kits would provide a new tail section.
I might use civvie airline decals instead of the ones provided in the kit.

2 x Tamiya 1/ 48th Fw 190Ds in the JV44 boxing for £12 each..... they'll be Luftwaffe, but NOT as we know it :blink: :party:

My Lift Here Short Sealand arrived from the Hobby Shop at Schipol. It's STUNNING, one super piece of moulding.

I also got a couple of Kopra resin upgrades for the Hawker Audax kit I got at Telford last time. These are for another go at my Dad's gave aircraft.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Doesn't Amodel do an Audax?  Or am I thinking of a Hector?

Edit:  Quick flick through the Hannants website reveals they do the latter, not the former.

Also spotted some new Spifire sheets from Xtradecal.  The mk 16 sheet looks to be the bestest option.

I got a Skynight in that big load of kits.  Interested?

Received from ebay today

1 x 1/72 Hasegawa Mig 23 Flogger B, an old Hales boxing of the kit. To be mashed with part of an F-16 as I think I can possibly improve the build of that supposed Chinese aircraft.

My Audax is by AviS, looks like an offshoot of A Z, and nothing to do with car rentals..........

It did arrive today from Aviation Megastore, and it's just as Kit said it is.  I also got a set of 1/72 DC-4 engines done by Harald Hensel from there too.

From Freightdog, in 1/72 scale, HMS Hermes Operation Corporate decal sheet, Vulcan B2 and Vulcan B/K.2 tailpipes, F-16C conformal tanks, Sea Harrier 190 Gal tanks (x2), 36 round rocket pods (x2), Vinten DJRP (x2) and in 1/48 scale, white metal Seafang set of props and other pieces (x2) [thanks Colin for those]
