I'd leave that well alone.  Looks like a novelty drink bottle of some kind and the stand is the glasses.  That could be worth a few bob.

do you mean that the nest is to use it as a bottle filled with appropriate liquor?
ah well, why not  ;D

But the color is not so cute : it could be painted with a livery of some airline ...

or with the famous Calder pattern for a Branniff DC8 :  :rolleyes:

Arrived in my 20 euro 'Lucky bag', from Poland. (Never know what's going to be in 'em!)

1 x 1/72 'Frogsk'i Hunter, (will also be an IAC two seater, thanks to HoE!) :thumbsup:
1 x 1/100 Turbolet L410.

And what i thought was 1 x 1/40 Aerial missile (Helicopter), AKA, Cessna CH-1 Skyhook.
but, turns out, there is three (almost) complete kits in the box. One part started, with all the bits to finish. One complete, unstarted, and the third, just missing the canopies.
And a couple of mags. (all in polish though!)





Now, What to do with all those missiles?

Thanks ericr, that's reminded me I have a decal sheet for the Calder DC8 and a Minicraft -62 allocated for just that purpose. ANOTHER one I really should get done!
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Another from EBay

All the bits to build a Spitfire F.22/24) :thumbsup:

The British have raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved". Soon though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross". Londoners have not been "A Bit Cross" since the Blitz in 1940 when tea supplies ran out for three weeks

A 1:72 Matchbox Lysander, as "Revell Classic Kit" reboxing. For the stash, no plan (yet) - maybe skis or floats...?

Hobbes

Well, if you fancy something unusual, you could build the P.12 Delanne version:

Now a Swedish example with floats would look good
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

zenrat

 No need for floats.  Just sealing the bottom of the spats should provide enough buoyancy... ;D

- 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.

Yes, maybe something scandinavian was a thought here, too. Maybe Norway - or make a crop duster from it (what actually happened after WWII).  ;)

AZ NA P51C Mustang (RAF boxing)
Xtradecal 6 Sqn decal sheet.

Need to remember where that Frog Canberra is now...

Hey Europe has a new multi-role combat aircraft!!!!  Must be true- the box clearly says "new"!  ;)  

At my local airshow today (Military Aircraft Museum, Virginia Beach, Virginia, USA) spotted these on a vendors table.  Could not pass up the prices on these- the MRCA was the big purchase for $4 US, the Phantom was $3, the P-39 a mere $2, so $9 total- the same amount I spent on a bratwurst at the show!

An yes the show was great again- A Me-262 and a Mosquito (among others) flying 30 minutes from my house? you bet I went.
