Leading Observer

The Trumpeter Westland Wyvern. If [a big if] I can get the DDR Dornier finished, I see an alternative to the Skyraider - SE Asia camo and RAAF insignia perhaps?

Today arrived some armour additions to the Honduras army, in the shape of a pair of 1/72nd scale Weisel 1 MK 20's. This is the S model 2 in a box kit, and is a quick build. They are quite good detail wise, and the only quick build I can see about them is the tracks and wheels as they are moulded as one. To me a good thing as they are quite tiny. Both are identical, with a 20 mm cannon in the turret, but one might get armed differently to the other. I just need a big enough transport helicopter for them to be transported inside, and slap some Honduras markings on it. I may just steal either a CH-47 or CH-53 off the U.S Marines for that purpose.

Well I've had a busy January and I'm not going to be adding anything new this month as I'm well and truly skint.

Ebay wins:
AModel Messerschmitt Bf 109 G2
Unknown Resin N.A. P-51H
Bilek IL-28 (was to be my GB entry but seeing Zenrat's Seabeagle maybe it will just be stash fodder !)
Sanger Avro Shackleton MR.1/2/3 - to be an MR.1 (yes I love vacuforms)
Hobby Boss Grumman Panther
Revell (nee Trumpeter) Antonov AN-2 Colt
Fly A.W. Whitley - less than half the price it was a year ago, thank you Airfix !
Choroszy A.W. 36 Scimitar resin - lovely kit (and cheap !)

From on-line stores
AModel Antonov AN-30 Clank - from Poland and 2/3rds the price than any UK seller (including postage !)
Airfix New Tool B.P. Defiant - well I had to get one didn't I?
AModel Let-L200
Hobby Boss LVT A-7E Corsair II - I now have the full house of all the Hobby Boss variants
Hasegawa Cessna A-37
Wolfpack N.A. T-2C Buckeye - expensive but looks nice
Italeri Fecce Tricolor set - MB 336 / Sabre / Fiat G-91 - Cheaper to buy the set than try to get a Revell G-91 on it's own
Aeroplast PZL M28 Coast Guard

From generous people on here....
Matchbox Messerschmitt bf 109 E  (Scooters on my Christmas card list)
Fine Molds Messerschmitt bf 109 G6 (Nares2 joins him)

You'll LOVE them when they arrive, one of Danny's best.  :thumbsup:
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

No, it's WWII stuff, and the only more modern barrels belong to Soviet tanks (125mm).
