The Wooksta!

I should be getting mine next saturday, along with another pair of Beaufighters.

If anyone has the new Airfix Beaufighter and doesn't want/need the torpedoes, I'm more than happy to give them a new home.  ;D

First impression? Theres a lot in that box! Its got an almost full interior, which wont be seen once the airframe is closed up. It has the defunct lower gun dustbin hole in the floor, so Im guessing that a future option may include a para dropper. And the way its engineered looks to  me like a BOAC solid nosed bird would be easily tooled for minimum outlay.

over all it looks stunning. Almost on a par with the Dornier 17 kit.
I always hope for the best.

From the Big H.

A Model A-40 (KT).

I have devious plans for this that do NOT require the T-60 light tank that comes in the kit.
So if anyone out there would like the tank it is up for grabs.
Because of the initial cost of the kit and UK postage I have to ask £15 GBP but that does include postage anywhere.

Anyone interested let me know.

Finally, after over a month held in customs, i get the first of the 1/48 F-16s i've bought, the Kinetic F-16E kit. The Tamiya kit is probably never coming and the seller is going to refund my money so i've already ordered another one from another seller, the other was the last item in stock. In fact, the second was even cheaper than the one lost. :thumbsup:

From the LHS (only popped in to get paint) I procured a Tamiya Bf 109 E3 to provide parts for a BoB GB build or 2.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Ahah! Spoke too soon about the F-16 from Japanese online shop Skyblue, delivered today, 9 a.m. sharp!! That means i'll have 2 of the buggers... and also, another one that was very late, from Mother Russia, bought from Exomari on Ebay, Zvezda's 1/72 Mig-21Bis, that is another that i'll have 2 of in my stash. 
Ordered last Saturday from Portuguese hobby store BigCat Modelismo, delivered today, the Kittyhawk 1/48 F-35C!!
Last item arrived today was a PoAF F-16's 1/48 Modelmaker decal sheet... Having only 3 1/48 models, being 2 F-16s and 1 F-35, the decals would make any of the F-16s a Whif cause both my models lack the parts to make the PoAF F-16A, but still, the F-16s would be the right model to use them on anyway, right? :wacko:
