My stash just grew again (2015)

[Thorvic]

from Cosford today, 
a Tamiya 1:48  a-10   itll be RAF,
and for the pricly sum of £25 another Aifix op Herrick patrol and support group (  Lynx, Landy and 8 troops)

Damn i forgot to mention it but MrModels had the new Airfix 1/48th RAF BoB ground crew which might be handy for conversion for you 

[Thorvic]

From Cosford

Airfix Vangaurd & MPA conversion in 1/144 from S&M models
Airfix C-130 Hercules (off Mel @ S&M)
Airfix Canberra B-8 (for Philip if he still needs one)
Various Decals from ModelArt and Paul Parkes
and that was it for Buys.

Took two boxes of models for sale and got rid of 60% so less stash and more cash despite some buying to counter both 

A good show and a decent run back, thankfully was in the hanger waiting for thr others to return when the rain squal hit for about 10 minutes

[Steel Penguin]

Thorvic, no probs, I can get it if I have a hankering to do so.
Alas I got caught in the rain there, and then again when I got home,

[Martin H]

Only two buys from Cosford

Both 1/72nd scale.
Monogram B-52D. Required for a real world project.
ESCI C-130K. transfered from Thorvic's stash to mine.

Im also baby sitting an Academy KB-29 from Geoff for one of the Scots lads. To handed over at Perth in a few weeks.

[KiwiZac]

The two not-Airfix bags are a Kiwi Resins B.170 Mk.31 conversion kit (wheels, nose and fin+rudder) and OldModels Decals markings for SAFE Air. The ultimate goal will be this baby:

ZK-CPT, former gate guard for the Marlborough Aero Club and - from mid-2008 - the world's only "live" Bristol Freighter. She starts, she runs, she taxis...she's a sight and sound to behold!

[Weaver]

Relatively cheap day today at Cosford, but some good end-of-the-show bargains:

Part-started Hobbycraft 1/72nd Avro CF-100 Mk.V : still perfectly buildable
Part-started Revell 1/72nd F-89 D/J Scorpion : still perfectly buildable, but mainly a cheap weapons donor for the Canuck (Genies... )

2 x Hobbyboss 1/72nd N/AW A-10A Thunderbolt II : ridiculously cheap, one to be RAF
1 x Hobbyboss 1/72nd A-10A Thunderbolt II : ridiculously cheap, to be RAF

From Thorvic : British Experimental Jet Aircraft by Barry Highgate (thanks again Geoff!)

Thorvic, no probs, I can get it if I have a hankering to do so.
Alas I got caught in the rain there, and then again when I got home,

And apologies again for my prat-of-the-day award!

(He helped me carry boxes to my car, in the rain, only to find when we got there that I'd left my keys on the stand, and he went back to get them for me (because he could squeeze through the fence better than me)....)

[Howard of Effingham]

was very restrained at Cosford yesterday [and over the weekend too]


1 academy A6M Zero
1 frog Corsair IV

MA/TAW decal sheet for the QF-4S VX-30 Bloodhounds.

several pots of humbrol authentics [Swedish shades], some xtracolor CDN Voodoo Grey and some krystalclear.

but most of all thanks to our Freightdog862 for the supply of several sets of the SHAR AMRAAM fuselage pylons.

[zenrat]

Arrived back from our road trip to find two boxes sitting by the front door.
Mrs z's birthday present - Bandai 1/350 Mechagodzilla from Evil-Bay.
And a couple from Modelnerds for me.  Both 1/72 - A Dragon Mig 15 and a Hobbycraft Su 22U Fitter E.  Both will probably be finished fairly stockish in PDRV Republican Guard colours.

And today as I was driving close to the LHS it seemed rude not to pop in to see if they had a 1/72 Mig 21.
They didn't, but they did have a Super Model 1/72 Cant Z-1007 bis Alcione Bideriva so I now have yet another WW2 Italian bomber added to the stash.

[KiwiZac]

Revell 1/32 Hughes OH-6A Cayuse/500, 1970 issue with everything including Revell Club flyers. To be built as the Hughes NOTAR prototype.

[Radish]

From Cosford, purchased a very cheap ex-Frog Fairey Gannet....missing it's rear canopy. No problem....I'll cut out the fuselage and add a rear gunner.
Possibly a ground attack aircraft on Mars....

Also, Dwarf One won a couple of kits on the tombola...a Tamiya 1/48 Sea Harrier, and a Dragon 1/6 German Bicycle with twin Panzerfaust. She's donated them to me..bless.

[Dizzyfugu]

A Dragon P-38 Pathfinder and a Hasegawa USAF Air-to-Ground-Missile set.

[Thorvic]

A Dragon P-38 Pathfinder and a Hasegawa USAF Air-to-Ground-Missile set.

I don't know but I somehow get the feeling that those two may end part of the same build 

[Dizzyfugu]

No, they don't. There's a bigger scheme behind these plans.... Muahahahaha!

I understand her arm will make a full recovery ? 

Seriously a nice little proxy win for Grandpa 

[Spey_Phantom]

just got back from running a few errands,

got a couple of new thin paintbrushes, and 2 revell 1/144 Alpha Jets
