Ah I want one for the floats, which will get attached to a Karas as part of my Austro-Hungarian Empire builds. Karas will lose it's gondola and gain a torpedo. The gondola already has a home to go to and the floatless Arado will get the Kara's spats and wheels and become a Austro-Hungarian dive bomber

You're welcome to the floats.  I have zero use for them.

Thanks for the offer Lee but I have plans for the rest of the Arado as well
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

From ebay 2 x 1/72 Airfix S-3A Vikings -not sure why I bought 2 :banghead: but hey ho ;D One will be RN and the other as yet unknown, although Kriegs Marine is tempting

kriegsmarine, [well perhaps bundesmarine would be better] is a good idea as i am sure that the S-3 was pitched
to the germans in the mid 1970's, but they went for the atlantique instead.

added to my stash on saturday though......

Just shot another vintage VEB Plasticart 1:100 Tu-20/95 bomber on ev!lbay for EUR 2,50,-. Those contraprops are just great - literally and for whiffing purposes...  :wacko:

Airfix 1/76 WWI Male Tank.  It seems I'm on a mission to pick up every injection boxing of WWI tanks available!
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

In 1/72-1/76 scale I assume aa Tamiya and Takom have announced new 1/35 scale MKIV tanks kits in the last week or so !

iirc, 300+ parts in olive green plastic and 'rubber' tyres. it looks pretty good and is to me 100% wiff fodder.

i haven't started it yet as there are some bits in need for wiffing it from another kit.

Yep, braille scale.  1/35 is a bit big for me, but I'm looing forward to see what Tamiya do with the Mk.IV. :thumbsup:

There's one in a local model shop if you want me to get it for you: £30 IIRC.

Bungle

Easter holidays mean too much time spent in front of the computer while waiting for paint to dry. Problem is it meant an emptying of the wallet as well !

So all from Ebay in different auctions....

Revell FJ-4B Fury  (did the Emhar original as Swiss Navy, this one likely to be some other land locked Navy, maybe a floatplane  :unsure:)
Revell Eurofighter Typhoon Two Seater (Don't like modern aircraft so likely to be bashed for spares / organ donor)
MPM Grumman F3F-1  (Real world probably)
Novo DH Hornet  (impulse buy - dirt cheap and those props will probably be seen elsewhere)
MATCHBOX BAe HAWK 200  (definite Whiff)
A smelly three kit bundle :
Marivox Saab 17 (This is the one I wanted may become Japanese )
Heller Saab 21  (probably be re-sold though the decals are shot but I done a few of these so I may have another set of decals)
KP Skoda D.1 (First thought was  :angry: but now another Japanese pre-war fighter  :rolleyes:)

Thanks for the offer Harold, but until I've got my cash flow problems sorted out, I've no money to spare.
