My stash just grew again (2015)

Airfix 1/72 Lockheed Constellation Super-G

Well you live and learn. Never knew Airfix did a Constellation

Airfix 1/72 Lockheed Constellation Super-G

Well you live and learn. Never knew Airfix did a Constellation

It/they are actually Heller kits but Airfix sold them when they were both part of the same firm. They did a standard Connie and a Super too, both BIG boxes of plastic and rather nice looking too, albeit a tad basic.

Got a 1:72 Trumpeter P-40B for only EUR 8,-. Might end up as an RAF aircraft - maybe one of the 46 Sq. machines as part of the Expeditionary Force in Norway in mid 1940... BoB tribute, perhaps?

There's a few problems with the kit, but changing the undercarriage legs to metal or brass should help. DJ Parkins do replacement resin  engines, although you may need to thin the props. Heller do an upgrade kit. The wingtip tanks are too small and the cockpit glazing is in the wrong place. You can't see the cockpit interior so this doesn't really matter. Use plenty of nose weight.

Right

I'm afraid that Airfix/Heller tie up is something my brain just won't recognise and I can never remember what was produced on the shared basis

Airfix Belvedere
Platz X-47B with GBU-27 - thinking of doing this as Royal Navy and maybe replacing the GBU-27 with the Storm Shadow from the recently acquired Airfix Dambusters anniversary Tonka

Seems like forever since I've been here !

Stopped at my LHS today and got for myself :

Italeri MH-53E Sea Dragon

And for my Bro :

HobbyBoss F4U-1 Corsair. Hey, he's stopping by tonite to trade beef jerky for a model, and he wanted a Corsair. This way is better than giving him my RoG one ! lol

Let's just hope it wasn't an A-7 he was after 

[Spey_Phantom]

took half a day off from work today to get the papers/lease signed for our new home  
stopped at the hobbyshop not to far from the real estate office to pick up some stash to celebrate  

-Revell 1/144 EF Typhoon "Bronze Tiger"
-Frog 1/72 Mig-15 Fagot (Mistercraft boxing with lots of decal options)
-mistercraft 1/72 Shengjang F-6(I) Farmer

[McColm]

Another Airfix 1?72 Bristol Superfreighter and the resin Magna Mk21 conversion. Perhaps change the tail as the Magna kit has the wrong shaped nose.
Or I could build my own look-a-like from the two C-119G fuselage sections joined end to end, roll-on-roll-off. With a suitable tail and raised cockpit, wing from the spares box.
Second kit with the running gear from a MH-53 Sea Dragon helicopter.
