My stash just grew again (2014)

[PR19_Kit]

A cheap Matchbox Wellesley, at last! Thinking about retrograding it into a biplane... 

That's what I'd thought of doing, trouble is if you rummage around on the web you'll find
That vickers have already done that: the Vickers type 253

Curse you Barnes Wallis!!!

Uh, that's ugly! My idea is to raise the upper wings above the fuselage, though, still not concrete... but at least I have the fuselage to work with!

Woo hoo!  Can't wait to see what you do to it.  Triplanes are good...

I received today, from Elhiem figures four chopper gunners, three 1970's dudes and two Mujahadeen technical gunners.
All 1/72 white metal.

[Dizzyfugu]

An MPM Focke Wulf Fw 189 B-0 in 1:72, the trainer version with a solid nose.

I think about putting it on floats (maybe with a torpedo under the belly?) - which was actually envisaged!

1/35 italeri 'world of tanks - himmelsdorf' diorama set. [it includes the standard italeri ruined door, church window,
brick walls and a special version of the italeri roadsigns II set with a revised decal sheet appropriate to the on line
game. i'm no online wargamer, but this tie-in kit was too good to miss]     

and a bottle of revell's 'painta clean' blush cleaner.

that would be a good idea methinks!  i've used a brazillian produced F-5 two seater resin conversion
kit to produce a bahraini AF F-20B several years back. remember they actually placed an order for four F-20's but
this was too small to open the production line after the two protoypes had been built in the early 1980s.

Hurrah! It's finally arrived
From Freightdog two Hawker Hunter F.6 Blue Jay conversion sets
Which consist of; 1 pointy nose, two Firestreaks with pylons and a F.6 tail cone
In case you only have a Revell FGA.9 kit.
Of course there's nothing stopping you Producing a Blue Jay Armed F.9...
Looks excellent in their boxes. Now of course comes the difficult bit, actually
Putting it all together....
And then there's choosing which Sqn to operate them

From the Big H via R.M. in under 48 hours  . The new tool Airfix Do 17z which looks really, really nice in the box. This one will be real BoB but I may get another one to wif. Dutch had 215's ? and I love the Dutch camo scheme so a Dutch 17z ? Maybe one that had landed in Holland whilst that country was still neutral ?

Recieved at the model club Christmas party/Gift Exchange today a WWII U.S. tank. I don't remember the name right now, but if I find it online, I'll post again later. Since I don't build WWII stuff, I gave it to another model friend when I got home.
Since the party was held at a hobby store, I also looked on the shelves and bought a Revell 1/144 Sea Shadow model ship which I wanted really badly, and also a AMT 1/3300 scale Star Trek Deep Space Nine space station kit. This appears to be a new kit where all the parts are molded in clear styrene.  Now all I need to find are some similar scale starships to dock alongside the station.

Picked up the new Airfix Dornier Do-17z from the local Model Shop. Wow what a well detailed kit 

[NARSES2]

Dutch had 215's ? and I love the Dutch camo scheme so a Dutch 17z ? Maybe one that had landed in Holland whilst that country was still neutral ?

Camo and orange Do 17

Or would it be the tri-colour roundel?

If it's an impounded one then orange triangles, if pre war then the roundel and if it went to the NEIAF and served post March ? 1942 then it would have the Dutch national flag marking which is my fav 

[McColm]

Olimp resin set 1/72 ASh-73TK engine set for Tu-4 Bull Soviet/ Chinese B-29 bomber
7236.
Been after one of these for ages. Must save up for the Academy or Airfix b-29.

Follow the example of the Do-24: put P&W engines on it, change a few other random things, and claim it's from a small pre-war Dutch order, only a few of which got delivered.
