Added to the stash this weekend:-

Airfix 1/72 British Airbourne Jeep
Airfix 1/72 Hurricane MK.1

from local department store

off eBay
Fujimi British Phanton FGR2 Alcock & Brown boxing
(looks to be a re-issue from a few years ago without the metal & etch and catograph decals but without the RAF weapons spues for the recon pod and snebs. Anoying that this and the Last in service boxings got new decent cartograf decals yet the FG1 silver jubille got the same old crap ones  :banghead:)

last night at the model club.....

1/72 airfix  :tornado: GR4 with the special scheme for the 60th anniversary of 617 sqn

Why ?????

Be better waiting for the Xtradecal RAF 2014 Update set X72216 and use the Revell kit with Colins update set rather than the acient Tornado prototype

Yeah! I was kinda disappointed when I bought what I thought was a GR.4 from Airfix, it was just the old kit with an extra weapons sprue and decals.

Three RAF rubber ducks, red, white and blue in flying helmet and scarf.

From Cleethorpes Airshow, for the kids, of course. ;)  Saw these and immediately thought Radish could do with some for Biggles.
I like the sound of them.  got any pics?

As promised:



Quack!!!
Thanks Mossie.  What a quacking set of ducks.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

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

because i have plans for the kit itself, the decal sheet is pretty good and the assortment of RAF weaponry comes
in handy.

Accidently, another Matchbox Buffalo (via ebay), as a combo with (another) Percival Provost. Both have potential, though...  :rolleyes:

Another new tool Airfix Blenheim MkI  :thumbsup:

Not really sure to what to do with this one. May get the Hendon 1940 treatment, may get a desert scheme for service in Aden at the time of the Ethiopian campaign, may even become Swedish ?
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Received from Hannants today

1 x 1/72 Aires McDonnell Phantom FG1 Exhausts

1 x 1/72 Olimp Eurofighter Intake

1 x 1/72 inSCALE Finnish Ju88's

And I got home to find a nice little letter from Parcel Force saying that I had to pay £26.62 to receive a parcel from Japan  :blink:  The tracking number doesn't match any outstanding order I have! Its an expensive way to find out what it is!
