My stash just grew again (2014)

Hows the mini A-400M ?

I'm impressed. It's got a full interior, and you can build it with the ramp up or down. 2 sets of props (normal and feathered, I think). The fuselage consists of several separate panels in addition to the main halves, so it'll be a bit more work getting everything lined up. A lot more parts than the average airliner.
I've no idea how accurate it is, but the one that was on the What-if SIG stand at Telford certainly looked the part.

Sounds like they pantographed the big one down by 50%, very sensible.

Hobbs, what you going to do with 2 ISS kits???  deep range explorer? Crystal palace?  orbital sensor and defence relay ?

Just picked up from the Post Office the 1/72 scale Planet Models "Tacit Blue" stealth test plane. Boy, was this a hard model to get. Took me about half a dozen websites before I finally found somebody that had one.........and all the way from Britain too! 

[Hobbes]

The ISS kit shows the station as it was planned around 2000, I want to build it closer to the current configuration. The second kit will be a spare parts source.

ok.   watch out assembling the keel  the ali box section is very hard to get down the centre once there's the tiniest bit of glue / paint on the plastic, and wile it is a lovely cealing model its not stressed to take it well and will banana if your not careful ( personal experience on both counts).

Looks like the Penguin was replying to Hobbes

Collected from the Post Office a 2nd Airfix Supermarine Swift from eBay USA 

hmm, with catches like this I see exactly why the EKFG gets his name EKFG, 

c'mon Geoff, post some piccys please!

[Steel Penguin]

Seedude,  yup sorry for the confusion, it was Hobbs and the ISS post I was replying to 
I appear to be making less sense than normal .

He also has the EKFG title by pointing people towards desired Kits.

Via a tip off from thorvic. One Airfix Supermarine Swift has been transfered from California to my stash in the UK.

Shot a Matchbox lot of four kits on ebay at a reasonable price:
- Brewster Buffalo
- Hs 126
- P51D
- BAC Strikemaster

Good stuff with potential!

[zenrat]

Absolutely.
Hs126 with the Buffalo engine, P51 canopy and all the weapons from the strikemaster.

...and a Fujimi Harrier GR.3. Not so much for the kit, rather for the 1417th Flight markings (Belize) for another idea/project.

I'd be interested to hear what that one's like, I don't think I've ever seen one before.
