Late birthday present - Revell 1/24 Black Cab.  Destined to be either a sleeper with sports sedan running gear or a Gasser with straight axle and a blown Hemi.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Got hands on a Hobby Craft F-82. Think about creating a single fuselage aircraft from it, because the P-82 is in detail so much different from the P-51...

The Hobbycraft kit is quite unique among all the 1/72 F-82's that seem to be Monogram re-boxings. because it's the only one that has both propellers turning the same way, and for the book, they made them turn the wrong way

Too right, that does make things difficult for doing anything P-82 related with it. I tried heating and re-twisting one prop some years ago, but it was doomed to failure.  :banghead:

While in line astern with Mrs_PR19 doing her monthly round of the Chepstow charity shops (there's ZILLIONS of them!) I found a Revell 1/72 RNLAF F-16 kit in one of their special schemes, still with the makers seals in place, for £2.65!  :o

I don't really like F-16s but it would have been rude not to get it.  ;D

If it's anything like the Revell F-16 I tried to build last year, take NOTHING the instructions say for granted. It tried to have me fitting the throttles the wrong way around (amongst other things) which would have makde it impossible to fit the cockpit tubs. Plenty of extra support needed for the latter as well,  and that goes for the u/c bays too..
