My stash just grew again (2014)

[NARSES2]

I received my free kit for subscribing to AMW (posted from Belgium).
Airfix 1/72 Hurricane Mk1 rather poorly packed so the box was squashed.  No damage although the canopy has been pushed off the sprue.

Stuff I have had from Airfix has been exceptionally well packed, but that was from the UK

This may not have been packed by Airfix but by the magazine subscription people - one subscribes through a website separate from both Airfix and AMW.

Anyway, it survived and today was joined by an Italeri Caproni Ca-311 (no-box so the price was lovely) from e-bay.  It will be civillianised.  Possibly in Frankston Skycabs Yellow & checkerboard livery.

Finally bit the bullet and bought that Kittyhawk F-101A. Now I'm not sure why.....oh well.

Also grabbed another Airfix FA.2 SHAR.
