My stash just grew again (2015)

[Thorvic]

Stopped by my LHS and came out with a 144th scale Minicraft VC-54C Scared Cow. I think it's inline ( get it  ) for some Merlin engines and an RCAF/ RCN post war colour scheme. 

Braz are re-issuing the engines for it, but I thought you would have tried it in 1/72nd as braz are also doing the conversion set for the new Revell kit

Just picked up the new Academy 1/72 F-4J USN 'Showtime 100' Phantom II from Tiger Hobbies.

Looks an absolute belter of a kit.

Built it yet ? 

Not as yet.

I owe the Capt'n a favour so I'll dig out some spare Merlins.

Looks like my 2 1/48 F-16s are cursed!! The Tamiya kit was probably lost in the mail... it's been over a month and it should've been delivered 2 weeks ago...

Some postal worker probably thought it'd make a great present for his son's birthday.

Or even for his own birthday...

Thanks to Colin at Freightdog, the Pegasus 1/72 XP-40Q. What a GORGEOUS little kit! Fine detail, not too much flash, and cheap. Almost seems a shame to whif it...

Built a couple, it's a nice kit

[KiwiZac]

Thanks Narses, it's definitely leaps and bounds ahead of my only other one, the Buchon. I can't wait to start it!

After work another package was waiting for me: the Academy-Minicraft 1/72 Early Version Vega PV-1 Ventura, to be done as a R/W RNZAF example. It was only NZ$20 and looks very nice, although I may need to invest in replacement, accurate cowls.

It's a copy of ye olde Frog kit.

Me?  Scored another CMR Spitfire IXc off ebay.

[piko1]

two new one's for my bday that was 2 days ago

Revell Queen Mary 2 1/400
Revell AIDAluna 1/400

[KiwiZac]

It's a copy of ye olde Frog kit.

I've heard that a lot. Except it's not. Comparing my plastic with photos of the FROG parts they're quite different - the FROG has a simpler, one-piece engine face with chunkier prop for example.

Also check out the first page of the FROG/spawn instructions: http://s61.radikal.ru/i172/1110/c3/b83e9a3eeb08.jpg
And the Academy-Minicraft/Academy/Minicraft instructions: http://nofineline.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/VenturaInstruct1.jpg

If it's a copy, it's an extensively retooled copy. Myth BUSTED.

You're right Zac, the Academy/Minicraft PV-1 is actually a re-box of the Hasegawa kit

[Dizzyfugu]

A(nother) Novo Supermarine Attacker as donor bank resident, came as a combo with a Vickers Wallace - together they were cheaper than any Attacker alone, so I could not resist...

[McColm]

Finally getting the 1/72 vacform VC 10
Monogram 1/72 A-10
1/72 Lockheed P-3C Orion

[The Wooksta!]

Another Airfix Beaufighter!

[Captain Canada]

Check out my blog to see the cool 350 scale stuff I have just received from Iron Shipwrights. If I would have been on the ball I would have noticed that they are doing a 25% off via Paypal deal, so with the 10 bucks I saved on this small order I could have bought somat extra ! Oh well, it's a good excuse to go order a few more bits
