Good job I got a couple of Modelcraft Wellington's as I won another Airmodel Vickers Valetta from the USA. Thinking of doing a Valetta with merlin engines ...  :unsure:

Also got an Airmodel Avro Anson C.19 conversion, the later ones with the proper wings.

Also from the UK evilbay a Frogski F-82 Twin Mustang and a P-61 Black Widow, dirt cheap and only because I wanted some 4 bladed props.

If you're doing a Merlin Valetta, you'll need to look at the Merlin installation in the Wellington one mark flew with Merlins but I forget which one.

It was the MkII Wellington that you have in the picture, the MK VI also had Merlin's but that was a High Altitude version with pressurised airframe areas.

Airfix Hurricane Mk I. I got this with my Airfix tokens and am very impressed with the service both by Humbrol, R.M. and the courier I only posted the stuff on Monday and the kit arrived this am. She'll be Danish with two of Frieghtdog's forthcoming 20mm's instead of the 20mm armed Fokker D XXI's they actually had.

Inncluded was a key ring from the Corgi Golden Jubilee range (teddy bear beefeater and a heavy beast, obviously been on the porridge  ;D) and a voucher for £5 off any order over £40, valid until 31/12/14. I'll use that for Blenheims and Dorniers

You could do with applying a Westland Whirlwind conversion to it the HAR9 with the long nose should confuse a few people in the RCN scheme  :wacko:

So when people said they couldn't give them away, they were obviously wrong..... ;)

Exactly what I thought

from ebay. One Hasegawa F-4B/N with two options for VF111. Of course its 1/72nd and came at a very reasonable (for Hasegawa) price.
I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Size (of the stash) matters.
