Won off eBay,
1/72 vacform HS/BAe Nimrod with resin and metal parts for Mk2 conversion.
Thinking of building an early Mk1 version.

From Model Hobbies via Ebay, 1/72nd scale Folland Gnat F.1 Finnish/Yugoslav boxing

Looks lovely in the box: loads of options and loads of spares for other versions, plus open and cockpit options.

Bought on Amazon a few days ago: The old (25-30 years? ) Revell B-2 Advanced Technology Bomber. Still shrink wrapped too!

This was one of my "holy grail" kits I've been currently searching for.

1/72 C-160, if it's the Heller kit then the tilt wing. Similar to the F-8 Crusader. Either SAR or ASW.

From Hannants and taken in by my neighbour for me yesterday, new tool Airfix Beaufighter

I'll be building the real world SEAC one with this kit. Looks very nice in the box

Just made my first order ever with Iron Shipwrights. The Choctaw/Mojave and the VC set

http://ironshipwrights.com/accessories.html

I wanted to add some vehicles but the USD is so high right now, that even this small order with exchange and shipping was almost 60 CDN

More stuff bought with my birthday "pocket money" from the lovely Sam:
- x3 Academy 1/72 P-40M/Ns (to become Kittiwakes)
- Almark Decals 1/72 Seafire XV sheet covering 7 FAA/RCN machines (for the aforementioned Kittiwakes)
- Italeri 1/72 B-25H/J (to be a real-world Australian warbird)

2 x 1/72 Revell Avro Shackletons MK3
1 x 1/72 Kawanishi H8K 'Emily' flying boat

Stopped by my LHS and came out with a 144th scale Minicraft VC-54C Scared Cow. I think it's inline ( get it

) for some Merlin engines and an RCAF/ RCN post war colour scheme.

Just picked up the new Academy 1/72 F-4J USN 'Showtime 100' Phantom II from Tiger Hobbies.

Looks an absolute belter of a kit.

Looks like my 2 1/48 F-16s are cursed!!

The Tamiya kit was probably lost in the mail... it's been over a month and it should've been delivered 2 weeks ago... the seller is going to refund my money so i'll be looking out for another one. The Kinetic kit is still in customs after 2 weeks of inspection... i wonder how hard it is to inspect a box...
On the bright side, the beautiful 1/72 Hasegawa Saab J-35Ö arrived today from a private seller on ebay, from Japan.

Some postal worker probably thought it'd make a great present for his son's birthday.

Thanks to Colin at Freightdog, the Pegasus 1/72 XP-40Q. What a GORGEOUS little kit! Fine detail, not too much flash, and cheap. Almost seems a shame to whif it...
