From my freind Pete, a box of sundry plastic modelling/wargaming stuff from his yoof (he's more into 1:1 metal abuse now... ;)). Too much to list individually, but highlights:

ESCI 1/48th Bo.105 PAH-1 (decals possibly dodgy)
ESCI 1/72nd Modern (1980s) Russian Spetznaz figures
ESCI 1/72nd Modern (1980s) Modern US Army figures
ESCI 1/72nd Battlefield Accessories (wooden stuff)
ESCI 1/72nd M113 A1
Atlantic 1/72nd Heavy Mortars set (collectable?)
Britains Farm Hedges (collectable?)
Revell 1/72nd Nieuport 17C
Airfix 1/72nd Tiger Moth
Box of built & broken 1/72nd arty/AT guns (including a 17pdr: been after one for ages  :wub:)
Various built & broken WWII/WWI aircraft and armour
Various painted and unpainted fantasy wargames figures
Box of spares (which conforms to Weaver's rule of bits boxes, i.e. EVERY one has a MiG-21 drop tank in it... ;D)

From local model stores this weekend, another Airfix Buccaneer and another of the new Airfix Lightning F6.

Also ordered some Bucc detail bits from Hannants along with a another RN Deck Tractor  :thumbsup:

The Wooksta!

Two more AZ Spitfire UTIs from Uncle Frank, along with a 3D Spitfire IX upgrade set on saturday.  Then, after a public transport nightmare yesterday getting to the market at Tynemouth Metro Station, an A+V Hurricane two seat conversion.  Desert hack I think.

A vintage 1:72 Be-6 from VEB Plasticart - plan is to add Centaurus engines, some gun turrets and create a whiffy Coastal Command sea plane from late WWII.

Also: a Matchbox Me 410.

...and a cheap (EUR 2,-) Matchbox P-51D. Lots of potential.

How long before that gets on to Internet as "fact" ? I'll turn my cynic mode off now  :-\
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
