My stash just grew again (2014)

[PR19_Kit]

Mind you, £10.39 +p&p was a lot less than what was being asked for the Novo boxing

Should I sell my original Frog boxed version? It might supplement my pension a bit. 

I'd get into Whirlwind (helicopters) if I were you Kit, been following them on E-bay and the Airfix ones sell for low-teens upwards, the Italeri ones for high-teens to low twenties 

I kicked off my eBay selling spasm with an Airfix Beach Buggy kit, starting at £.500. It went for £36.00!!!!! 

Is that retirement looking GOLDEN yet then Kit, lots of plastic nest-eggs hatching ?

It's looking hopeful, I currently have four pages worth of stuff on eBay and at least four bidding fights going on.

Who are you selling as? Might need to see what to avoid / join in!

Just bought a bundle of various Red Arrows decals through ebay. Someone posted the idea of a Harrier GR.1 as a Red Arrows solo aircraft, and I like that idea a lot.... 

Bright red should suit a Harrier well!

I like the idea of a Red Arrows Harrier  in hover, "bowing"   to the Royal Box  at the start/finish of a show!!

[Dizzyfugu]

Yep, blowing away the Royals... 

Should have a wonderful retro look, anyway, and I actually wonder why that never happened?

I can remember having this exact same conversation with my brother at an air show donkeys years ago....all the possibilities of using the Harrier. He came up with this fantastic idea of the team lined up in hover doing a Mexican wave. Love to see the Harrier in OLD Red Arrows scheme though.

My eBay ID is 'kit-small-wheels'. I'm waiting for the next 'free weekend' to post my next batch.

Someone on here did that a few years ago with a GR1 I think. It looked AWESOME!

From ebay: set of decals from the Heller 1/288th Ariane IV.

Today a box arrived containing two Tamiya (nee Italeri) Mig 29s, an Airfix DH88, an ICM soviet air to air missile set, a 20mm flak 38 and a soviet 37mm AA gun.  All 1/72 obviously.  Make of that what you will...

You're going to have an AA-9 armed Soviet DH88 shooting down two MiG-29 gunships? 

Don't tempt me...

The Migs were soooooo cheap on HLJ I bought 2 planning to try to sell one for enough to cover the postage.  However, having opened the boxes all these 4 engined/x wing possibilities are swimming through my head.
The Comet is crying out for jet engines or would make for a really graceful seaplane.  Long distance Schneider Trophy contender?

That's the plan - all red with a rather simple livery, maybe a white cheatline on the flanks, but nothing more. Should match with the Gnats or the early Hawks, so that the GR.1 is in an appropriate time frame.

Yeah, I am not certain where I got the idea. I think I saw that one, and I remember having seen a CG graphic (but IIRC this was a Sea Harrier) of such an aircraft. It's pretty iconic, I think - HOW British could it potentially be?

My eBay ID is 'kit-small-wheels'.

Quite a way to mask your identity - people would naturally expect 'kit-long-wings'...

Hehehe, maybe so, but when I first signed up on eBay it was to get some parts for my Moulton bike collection, and they have small wheels.
