From The Big H, three sets of 1/72nd canopy & wheel masks for the Airfix Skyhawk.

£2 each plus free postage isn't bad at all, given my limited ability to paint in straight lines....

Been after one of these for ages. Must save up for the Academy or Airfix b-29.

Thanks McColm, I didn't know these existed.

Try eBay,
They've got some sets on there and the Soviet turrets as well. Haven't seen the AEW set for awhile.

Got an 1:72 Amodel Yak-130D - no plan yet, but was cheap.  :rolleyes:

You should have got two, then you'd have a pair of Mittens!  ;D :rolleyes:

from antics Coventry a couple of days ago....

1/72 academy B-29A 'old battler'. interestingly academy include on the sprues and provide a choice of decal options for the B-29
variant that was adapted to help transport fuel over the 'hump' in the CBI theatre during WW2. I think this will get a RCAF, RAAF or
even a RNZAF ELINT conversion at some stage in the future done to it.  the nose art decals ARE going to be very useful.

Eventually received from Hannants, not their fault, I had an email from the Delivery office on Monday saying that the parcel was ready for delivery, then they deliver it to a neighbour yesterday as I was out!  :blink:

1 x 1/72 Airfix Lightning F6 to be a real work aircraft, not decided which squadron yet. No gun pack for what I will build as the gun pack will go to an F2A at some point.

2 x 1/72 Quickboost Ju88G tail fins for the Zevezda Ju88G-6 which I have 2 on order at the moment and are due any day.

Got hands on a 1:100 "ADF-01F FALKEN", an unmanned fighter "thing" from Ace Combat, made by Bandai.

Certainly, noone knows what this might be... well, it looks like this:





Has potential, needs at least a decent cockpit. And maybe some Red Stars?  :party:




McColm

Hannants do a range of Olimp resin conversion sets including the B-29 / Tu-4.

Relative of the Ghost X-9.....?
Some of my models can be found on my Flickr album >>>HERE<<<

Dizzyfugu

Conceptually, maybe. It's not from an anime like the Ghost (MACROSS PLUS), though, but from a video game - and I am, not certain about its appearance and capabilities there.
I primarily bought it for the odd but futuristic look, plan is to turn it into a manned 1:72 fighter - was lucky because the kit normally goes for more than 100USD in Japan, I got it through a local retailer for less than half of that. Could not say no...  as always. ;)

I know where it's from - that was just an idea. It's got the same sort of feel to it.

It does look like something the Russians might make, though - but make sure it's not grey....!
