My stash just grew again (2014)

[Dizzyfugu]

Was in Calgary yesterday, picked up a couple of Monogram/Revell 1/72 Twin Mustangs --- got a plan 

Any hints or is it wait and see?

RAF  --- with different engines/cowlings/noses/whatever ---

I can highly recommend C-130 turboprops... the OzMods set for C-130J would also fit onto a Mustang fuselage, not only on a Sea Fury (already checked this option  ).

i also got to sit in the co-pilot's seat of XL231 'lusty lindy' at elvington!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Green with envy! Well done. 

and i can now testify that its a tight fit in any of the victor's crew positions.

lord only knows how they, encumbered with full flight gear, managed a scramble. practice, i guess.

I was lucky enough to look round S for Sugar at RAF Scampton. I was in shirt sleeve order, so hats off to the chaps on a dark stormy night over enemy territory

From Hannants both 1/72

Special Hobby Caproni Ca 311

Had a good look at this now and it's very nice. Interestingly the fuselage is moulded in clear plastic which given the amount of windows there are is a good idea. Special Hobby thoughtfully include full self adhesive canopy masks for both external and internal use  Nice instruction booklet to which is in colour

3 x Airfix 1/72nd Gnats

3 x Airfix 1/72nd Gnats

This was the first kit my younger son made. As I recall, it went together well.

What, I wonder, does our esteemed colleague plan to do with a swarm of Gnats?

Same kit. Special Hobby are one of the MPM stables brand names. At one time SH were the limited run kits but now they are almost up there with major manufacturers. Still no joining pins/holes etc but otherwise excellent
