An Airfix P-51D from my LHS, or as local as it gets anyway.

I have a cunning plan.....  ;)

From Hobbyeasy

Flyhawk 1/700 HMS Naiad Dido clasd RN AA cruiser
Orangehobby 1/72 F-35 & Masking Set

The Flyhawk kit is superb, they are mostly known for their etch brass detail sets, but have just started doing kits with WW1 german battlecruisers, they have now followed it up with a kit that puts even the Japanese waterline kits to shame. crisp fine detailed parts, detail parts on seperate sprues as fine or better than the nano range, etched brass (of course), decals and even the box is designed to act as a display base with backdrop and for just £17.50 plus P&P !!!! :bow:

- 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.

picked up a couple of bits at the Yeovilton show yesterday - Italeri's 1/48th V-22 Osprey and Eurocopter Tiger. I also got an LVM M134 resin weapons station to go on a Challenger 2 I have.

From the Crewe Show (all very cheap):

Hasegawa 1/700th Tenryu (IJN light cruiser) - steampunk project
Airfix 1/72nd Westland Scout with a missing rotor for £1 - whiff fodder
Minicraft 1/144th VC-54C "Sacred Cow" - to become British Midland Argonaut Hotel Golf....

Also some snow and a couple of very reasonably priced bases.

Yep - he brought a few. I went for the Sacred Cow because it's actually a rather plain scheme. The others were the Thunderbirds support plane and the Berlin Airlift Memorial one, which I thought were special-enough decals not to consign to the whiff-bin.

The irony was not lost on me......

BTW the snow and bases came from www.just-bases.co.uk : nice guy, good gear and very reasonable prices.

Go to Boston. They have so much they're dump'n it in the harbor.
Picked up a monogram 1/48th P-51 for parts. It was opened and parts missing so they marked it down to $4.29.
